Hey Journey Church
We have supported Vince and Verve Church from the very beginning. They have this mission to bring light to dark places that's right in line with want we are trying to accomplish. Here's a recent letter from Vince to celebrate 10 years of ministry in Vegas. We appreciate Vince sharing with us on Sunday. We're grateful to be a part of reaching people far from God and we celebrate with them and this highlights below:
Hey!
Verve had it's grand opening 10 years ago TODAY - March 14th! That's crazy - 10 years! 10 years of God doing amazing things in us and through us, and through your support, you have been a part of all of it!
Last weekend ... we celebrated our 10th anniversary with a special service. As part of our extended family, I SO wish you could have been there. But, since you couldn't, here is a link where you can at least watch it:

Here are some highlights of what we celebrated:
- 454 baptisms - before the weekend - 6 more during the weekend, so now 460!
- In addition to supporting church planting in the US, we have started churches in India, Poland, and Ecuador.
- Those churches have had another 400ish baptisms!
- We have adopted a housing project here in Vegas where we are impacting kids' lives.
- We have started ministries in 2 cities in India to rescue women and kids out of sex trafficking and life in brothels - over 200 rescued so far!
- And much, much more.
Through your prayers and financial support, you are a part of all that. I cannot express my thanks enough. We are, literally, eternally grateful! Thank you!!
One thing you could please pray for us: Because most of the Las Vegas economy is based on tourism, the Corona virus situation is causing some financial devastation here. So many of our people are losing all their income, some are getting permanently laid off. Obviously, my heart hurts for all of them. I am also not sure how Verve will be able to weather the financial crisis it will create. (And that's not even accounting for having to not have our weekend services for at least the next two weekends. That's obviously another financial hit.) It's scary. BUT I know and trust that God is faithful. Please pray that He will provide for our church in miraculous ways during this hard season that is just now starting. Thank you!
So .... ten awesome years, and ... the best is still yet to come! Thank you for believing in us and being a part of it.
We love you and appreciate you!
