We Are a Family!

Happy Thanksgiving! This video seems appropriate to share with our worldwide family now.
In it, you can see our Mongolian sister Toya pronounce "and distant lands"
from the Steppes of Mongolia outside our town of Darhan.  It is true, we are a family spread all over, "to the ends of the Earth".  Here's being thankful for being in a big healthy family with still more to do.

Mongolian Alliance Church Celebrates 20 Years!

Nikdovnihon (One Hill People) was the first to be started by Alliance Missionaries 20 years ago.  The church sends their thanks for their Alliance family as they celebrate this milestone.
Thanks to our colleague Ryan for sending along this picture.  God has used this church throughout two decades to proclaim the gospel, help the poor, plant other churches, call and train pastors.  

By last count 'Nikdov' is the first of about 17 small Alliance churches in Mongolia.  Praise the Lord!

North Ridge Basketball Academy and Church

After speaking at North Ridge Alliance Church on Sunday, Jeremy spent the week observing the Academy operations and understanding the philosophy behind it.  
This nice facility on the church property has hosted NRBA for all of its 10 years of sustainable ministry sharing the gospel of Jesus with area basketball students and their families.
There's also a strength training aspect to the Academy called Explode.  https://www.nrbasketballacademy.com

The most important part of the ministry is sharing scriptural truth and prayer for the student's strength to be established on timeless truth, whose name is Jesus.
