Living Word, Petaluma, Calif.

Enhancement (restart): A dedicated core group of members at Living Word are excited to relaunch their outreach efforts with the addition of a full-time home missionary. Situated north of San Francisco, this growing community presents numerous outreach opportunities. Living Word is already actively engaging with the nearby Coast Guard, leading worship and Bible studies at a local senior center, hosting “Stay and Play” events for families, and managing a community garden on its property that fosters gospel conversations.

Fast facts:

• Petaluma is a city of 60,000 people in Sonoma County. Its proximity to San Francisco offers potential for outreach.
• This dedicated core group of lay members has put together an extensive ministry plan on its own that it prays to continue implementing with a new home missionary at the helm.
• The church already owns its own church building and parsonage, lowering costs as members restart outreach efforts.

Prayer:

Jesus Christ, we praise you for your boundless grace by which we are saved and are also privileged to proclaim your goodness to others as it has been proclaimed to us. Thank you for the opportunity to do this in Petaluma, Calif. You have blessed our brothers and sisters there with hearts that desire to reach out to their community. Encourage and equip them to carry out the plans they have formed with the confidence that you will supply all they need and your good and gracious will is always accomplished for the salvation of many! Provide them with the shepherd and missionary they need to guide them in the mission work you have laid before them. In your name we pray, Amen.
