LIVES CHANGED 2024

Since January, we have had our 364 people baptized. These people chose to take the next step in their journey with Christ.

Baptism declares that you are a follower of Jesus Christ. It is a public confession of your faith in, and commitment to, Jesus Christ. It is the next step after salvation through repentance and faith and is an important foundation of Christian life.

Our next Baptism service is June 30.

PRAY FIRST 2024

We know that prayer is powerful. It draws us close to God and brings results and unity as we seek Him together. In January we set aside 21 days to seek God FIRST with daily topics and verses, promises, and prayers that we can stand on in faith. Over 550 people a day watched the Pray First daily videos and total views this year were 11,600 with hundreds of prayer requests. You can still join in any time on our  YouTube Pray First Playlist.

We also invite you to go through the YouVersion Bible Plan. with over 4,700 other subscribers.  Download the Bible app and search for the plan: Pray First: Seek • Pray • Unite

UNITE FAMILY CONFERENCE

Uniting Families in Christ. On February 3, over 700 people united to celebrate family time by worshiping together, playing games and activities that included inflatables, doing crafts, family photos, and enjoying a meal with other families at the event.

It was a great day to set aside some time to have fun and most of all worship God together.

ResKids Mission Statement:

Every Kid Connected. Every Family Equipped.

ONEHEART Conference

OneHeart Conference 2024 was a power-packed weekend full of connection, excitement, and encounter with God. Students 6th – 12th-grade students met to build relationships, be inspired, and to be equipped to live as disciples of Jesus Christ. Over 1,000 students came together with ‘One Heart’ and in one accord to encounter God and to leave better equipped to follow Christ daily.

Global Missions

We partner locally and globally with other ministries. Last year we gave over $2,500,000 to send the gospel all around the world!

Pakistan

• The Walking by Faith program is aired weekly on the ShineStar network in Pakistan. Pastor Duane’s messages have been translated in to the local language and we have had many reports of salvations and healings. A missions team has been sent to Pakistan on two separate visits to the refuge camp that ResLife supports and the brick kilns to preach the gospel of Jesus and baptize people. A well has been built to provide fresh water in one of the villages that they visited.

CAP PROGRAM

The Children’s Anti-Exploitation Partnership (CAP) Program here in West Michigan is located inside the Wyoming Police Department. This program helps police officers connect children and teens identified with at risk behavior and their families to a CAP advocate for counseling and mentorship. ResLife funds this program through Crisis Aid International to manage and staff it to the highest capability. This is a tremendous blessing in our community!
