Do we have enough? 

It's an important question, isn't it? If you're going on a trip, do you have enough money? If you're hiking in the desert, do you have enough water? Under these and countless other conditions, we will be very careful to make sure we have “enough” to meet our needs.

But what about when it comes to knowing Jesus?

Journey With Jesus

We would appreciate your prayers as we get closer to 2025. The North American Division is doing a division-wide evangelistic push called Pentecost 2025. We have stepped out in faith here at Pioneer Memorial Church with a full series called Journey with Jesus. This series will be preached by kids who are excited to tell others about Jesus. We have had more than enough preachers step forward. We have funding falling into place. God is doing big things to make this happen; it is already evident. We do need your prayers, however. I am excited to see God do a new thing and for this next generation to be a part of it!
—Pastor Ben Martin

Pioneer Operating Budget

Proverbs 3 says, “Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your increase; so, your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine” (Proverbs 3:9-10, NKJV). Author Melvin Santos Speaking: Shortly after our wedding, we flew to Berrien Springs, Michigan to start my seminary classes. We moved into our barely furnished apartment. We just had our clothes and whatever else we could pack in our suitcases. This prompted a shopping excursion.
