"Giving Is What We Do"

The poor are being fed, the lives of young people at risk are being transformed, young adults are learning how to fund their own mission trips, worshippers are excited in the Holy Spirit, and the neighborhood is seeing the church give sacrificially. Where? At the El Shaddai Empowerment Center, 4340 Pacific Avenue in Tacoma. I urge everyone to visit this small church with a big vision! God is at work there. Services are at 3 p.m. on Sundays, under the leadership of Jimmie and Lawanna Lee, but don't expect to get away before 7, because dinner is on the house and you are invited! Please visit the El Shaddai website for further information.

Pentecost Walk in Tacoma

The purpose of this blog is to inform the Christian community of Pierce County about where God is especially working, and about where the enemy is resisting that work. I'm happy to report that one sphere in which God is doing a great work in our county is that of intercession. The evidence of God-at-work among our interecessors is their eagerness to come together from different churches to advance the Kingdom through prayer. At the Pentecost Walk and rally held in Tacoma on October 21, 2006, 120 people came together to worship and pray. I counted the following churches as represented that day:
  1. Crossroads (Frederickson)
  2. Destiny City Church (Tacoma)
  3. Grace Community (Auburn)
  4. Harvard Covenant (Tacoma)
  5. Life Center (Tacoma)
  6. New Hope Community (Bonney Lake)
  7. New Vine (Tacoma)
  8. Peace Assembly (Tacoma)
  9. Peninsula Christian Fellowship (Gig Harbor)
  10. Praise Covenant (Tacoma)
  11. Puget Sound Christian Center (Tacoma)
  12. Puyallup Foursquare
  13. Rainier Hills (Enumclaw-Buckley)
  14. Trinity Church of Pierce County (Tacoma)
God is blessing united prayer for our cities!
