“Sharing not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too.”
Summer marks a transitional time for our house ministry with students moving in and out.
In 1992 we set up house in our 4 floor, 9 bedroom, 4500 sf Portland Craftsman. Our plan from day 1 was to open our home to internationals, American students and young adults growing in their lives and ministry.
Since then well over 60 young men and women from more than 20 nations have shared our home, observing 24/7 what it means to follow Jesus in missional lifestyle.
Today seven women including 2 international students from Brazil and Japan are part of ”the 1748 experience” with Kathy, myself and a community of young adult spiritual explorers coming and going day to day.
As a partner you make ”living the Good News” a reality through your intercession, encouragement and sacrificial support of our ministry.
Thank you!
