MISSIONARY HIGHLIGHT: APRIL 30 ______________________________________________ Josh and Elizabeth Howeth OREGON
Today we’re going to Oregon, which is on the Pacific coast between Washington state and California. We usually read about Oregon when they legalize marijuana or the like. What you don’t usually see in the news is that many new churches are needed in the state. Southern Baptists only have about 450 congregations spread across Oregon, Washington and northern Idaho.

That’s some background on why we are praying today for Josh and Elizabeth Howeth, two of our missionaries who have started a new church in Corvallis (say core-VAL-is), Oregon, just over an hour south of the larger city of Portland.

The Vine Church, which they have started, has reached many college students, because Oregon State University is in town. They also have started a ministry to the city’s homeless, even sending out teams to wash the feet of homeless people. We support Josh and Elizabeth with our Cooperative Program giving, and now we also want to provide prayer support for them and their ministry.
