Remembering God's Kindness in 2025
As we wrap up 2025, let's reflect on how much the Lord has carried and cared for our network. This year has been full - in the best way - and we’re grateful for God’s steady kindness through every step.
One of the greatest joys of this year has been seeing our first network church plant take shape in Mosaic Mesa. From the earliest conversations to the tangible growth we’ve already witnessed, the Lord has provided exactly what was needed at the right time. God has been building a great team, culture, and rhythms to bless Mesa with the gospel. Your churches have played a real part in this work through prayer, encouragement, resources, and sacrificial investment. Thank you for stepping in so willingly and faithfully.
We’re also praising God for the hopeful beginning of our next church plant with Chien-Hua Chen. It’s a reminder that He is always at work ahead of us - building his church and drawing people to himself. Be looking for a lot more from Chien-Hua in 2026.
In addition to these new churches, God is working in you. We are constantly encouraged to hear how the Lord is moving in your churches - new believers being welcomed into the family, longtime saints persevering with fresh hope, leaders being raised up, and ordinary members taking meaningful steps of obedience. Week by week, God is forming healthy congregations across our network, and that steady, often unseen work is just as much a part of the story. Thank you for laboring faithfully where God has placed you.
What a gift it is to stand together in this mission. The gospel is advancing in Arizona because the Lord is faithful and working in his people. Thank you for locking arms with each other for the sake of Christ’s name across Arizona!
