MISSIONS SUNDAY at COAST

Have you ever wondered WHERE God may call you? What the future may hold? Well, we may not all be called to serve God in other countries but one thing is for sure: we CAN support those who serve in foreign lands.

Yesterday was MISSIONS SUNDAY at Coast Church Ventura and it was an absolute honor to have the Sponsler Family who is currently serving in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The lead an effort to train, lead, and serve the ministers and families of a growing organization of Pentecostal ministers in Argentina.

The miraculous things they’re seeing in Argentina brought tears to our eyes, joy to our heart, and made us feel elated to be partnering with the Sponslers to help reach the beautiful people of Argentina. Stories of miracles of healing, divine protection (a pastor who was held at gunpoint and simply prayed for God’s protection and then heard the gun fire yet the bullet simply bounce off of his skin, a young lady who’s hand was severely maimed while working in a commercial kitchen but was restored 100% to working use, a young toddler whose lungs were filled with fluid and went into a coma but was healed miraculously within 24 hours), and the Gospel being spread into many places in Argentina. It was truly an awesome day!

Truly we are seeing awakening and world wide revival. You may not be able to “give by going” but you can certainly “go by giving.” We’re thankful that Coast Church has been positioned into a place of generosity to support brave families like the Sponslers who are leading revival around the world.
