Steve Harris and the Hell Fighters went back into the prisons this week to share the gospel. God worked in a mighty way and they were able to find Cody Starr. Last week, Danielle Lay shared about her brother, Cody Starr, and how he needed Jesus. She asked for prayer and people prayed.

This week, God answered your prayers! When these men asked Cody if he was a Christian he responded, "I think so". They asked how he knew and Cody mentioned works that he'd done like going to church and doing good things from time to time. They asked a pointed question by saying, "The bible says if you have the Spirit of God in you then you are a child of God and if you don't then you're not. Do you have the Spirit of God in you?" Cody wasn't sure. So he was asked, "Do you want to be sure?" In that moment God worked and Cody said an assured "YES, I would!". Cody surrendered his life to Jesus Christ! ​

Pastor Jerry entered into a discipleship relationship with Thomas about four years ago.  About a year ago, Thomas started his own group for discipleship.  The men in his group live in Hope Is Alive sober living houses.  Thomas is discipling a few of these men to reproduce groups in some of the other Hope Is Alive sober living houses. 

This all started because Pastor Jerry discipled Thomas. Thomas is just doing with other men what Pastor Jerry did with him, and the new leaders in Thomas' group will do with other men what Thomas is doing with them. 

God is using discipleship to reach people all throughout our city! 

Great job, Pastor Jerry and Thomas! ​

This is a picture of ​Hugh Sauer's new small group at Kimray! Hugh is faithfully reaching his co-worker's by using breaks and lunch to intentionally make disciples! Hugh is using our small group curriculum to help teach his guys a reproducible process to study scripture and make other disciples.

​Great job, Hugh! ​

Two weeks ago we had an interest meeting where people could learn more about the Media Team and join as a volunteer. Justin Werner is our Director and he works in IT at Kimray where some of his co-workers also serve as volunteer Media Directors at their church. They struggle to find 2-3 faithful volunteers for their teams.

At the Media Team meeting, we had 17 people show up and 10 new volunteers join our team! This brings our count of faithful, weekly volunteers to 16 people! At Western Hills, we have a history of people a people that serves others, and this is a testimony of just that!

We want celebrate what God is doing in and through the people (the church) at Western Hills!
