Brakes, Brakes, Transmission, And Tires In Côte D’Ivoire
Before we arrived in Africa, the other half of our team from the Vineyard Church of Central Illinois arrived in Côte d’Ivoire several days before we joined them. They had experienced mechanical problems with their vehicle, not to mention managing the complications caused by incredible flooding in their area. Days later, after we arrived, three […]
Virginia Beach To Mazatlan: The Story Of One Vineyard’s Call To Go
Nineteen years ago our church family, VCC Virginia Beach, first dipped our toes in the water of missions.

A Letter From Phil: Walk On The Water
Dear Friends, As we head into August, I have a deep and sustained belief that the season ahead of us will hold some of the most encouraging and faith-filled days our Movement has seen in its history.

Do What You Can Do

Porque cuando vemos en el Nuevo Testamento el relato de Pentecostés, y antes también los milagros de Jesús y la introducción del reino como “de repente”, o “de la nada”, o “de repente llegó”, esto me encanta.
