Potential Missions Partner: We are partnering alongside a center (unnamed) that blesses Muslims in practical ways in order to share the hope of the gospel with them. Some tentative ideas are doing a vacation bible school, having youth activities, women’s ministry during the days (sewing classes/crafts - which they love!), doing English as a Second Language (ESL) and facility projects.

Potential Missions Partner: We are partnering with Overland Church and Pastor Zack Thurman as they do outreach in Fort Collins, Durango, and other cities. The result of these outreach activities (e.g. block party, backyard bible club, vacation bible school, street evangelism) will prayerfully and Lord willing result in churches being strengthened, or even new churches being planted/replanted.

More Information
People Group/City Info: Fort Collins is located just over an hour outside of Denver. The Denver area is one of the most spiritually lost regions in North America. Most people not only do not know Jesus personally, many have little to no connection to a gospel-preaching church. Our mission is to bring the hope of Christ to a place where darkness often feels normal and truth is rarely heard. Less than 10% in Denver identify as an evangelical Christian.
