July Local Spotlight | International Students
"All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And they shall glorify Your name. For You are great and do wondrous deeds; You alone are God." Psalm 86:9-10 Join us this month as we pray for International Students who have made their homes in Ventura and Santa Barbara County. God has called us to make disciples of all the nations, and they have come to us! Yet sadly, almost 95% of international students never enter an American home. We have the incredible opportunity to befriend, share the gospel with and disciple international students who have come to our communities from countries and cultures where the Gospel may have never been preached.

Radical Recovery will be led by Tino and Krissy Rico in the J-high room across the parking lot from our main building. "For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, detesting one another." Titus 3:3 |
