WORLD OUTREACH WEEK / March 6 - 14, 2010
The Gospel is alive in the Arab world! Blown by God’s Spirit, seeds of the Gospel are finding their way to every Arab state, and spiritual fruit is apparent. Both nationals and Christians from around the globe are penetrating areas of the Arab world previously untouched by the Gospel.
Arab world missionaries believe this is just the beginning of reaching what, up until now, has been the least Christian region of the world.
Come! See! Learn! WOW 2010

Prayer is highly valued at Valley. In World Outreach, our priority is prayer for our missionaries. Each person at Valley is asked to pray for at least one Valley missionary, and to build a relationship them. You may pray as an individual. If you are part of a family, consider making a joint commitment so that you can pray together. You may choose a missionary reflecting your own interest, a missionary chosen by a family member,or a missionary prayed for in your Community or small group.
