Monthly Missions Update

July 2025
Volume 2, Issue 7

  

Hello Morning Star Family,

Missions is often misunderstood as something that only happens far far away across the world. The reality is we are called to live on mission wherever we are. Summer brings many opportunities to get outdoors and engage with the people around us. Will you join  us as we Prayer Walk this Summer? Learn more below! Thanks for continuing to pray and engage in Missions at Morning Star!

 

We’re canvasing our city in prayer this Summer! God is at work here in Salem! Prayer walks help us see Him in action and bring us into obedience with His will for His people. You can join us for 3 big gatherings at specific locations, and prayer walk on your own in your own neighborhood any other time this Summer. Check out this guide for how to prepare well for your walk. To join  one of the 3 main gatherings please register here  so we can plan on which routes to take. 

Local Partner – Camp Agape:

Camp Agape which provides fun & encouraging camps for students whose parents are incarcerated, is looking for 2 bus drivers on July 18th. Additionally they are looking for Nurses to fill some remaining shifts from July 17th-20th. If you are interested in showing the love of Jesus to kids in great need, or have any questions you can click this link, or reach out to Sydney at 541-653-7735.

Global Partner – Reid Saunders:

Last month, 1,262 people gathered for a united church service in Dallas, Oregon, and it was incredible! I had the opportunity to train believers to share the gospel and give an invitation for attendees to place their faith in Jesus Christ. Praise God, 28 people put their faith in Jesus!

 

This gathering marks the beginning of a yearlong season of evangelism, building toward a citywide festival in summer 2026. Please be praying. God is moving in Oregon!

All for Jesus!
