NEW PRAYER ROOM!
Very soon, the front office will be refreshed to become VJF’s new PRAYER ROOM. What’s the purpose of a prayer room? It will be a dedicated space where people can find moments of quietness as they connect with God individually or with a small group.
The PRAYER ROOM will serve as a reminder of the importance of prayer in the life of a believer and in the life of our church. Our desire is for the PRAYER ROOM to be a POWER-PACKED PRAYER ROOM – where intentional praise and sincere intercession happens and we seek God’s will, not our own.
JOYBELLS PRACTICE RESUMES THIS MONDAY AT 11 AM IN THE MUSIC ROOM!!
Do you read music? Want to use your skill in praise and worship of Jesus? Consider becoming a JOYBELLS ringer!! There’s plenty of room for more. For more information, contact Irene Abbey.
NEEDED: ONE WEEK OF HOUSING
Elenore Byrd’s grandson and 2 friends are coming to Ventura from Wheaton College (Wheaton, IL) for Spring Break (first week of March). Since Elenore’s living arrangement has changed, the boys simply need a place to sleep – no meals. Please contact Elenore if you can help. (805) 535-9329.
TAKING THE GOSPEL TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!!
Thank you for partnering with Operation Christmas Child to help take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to millions of boys and girls around the world.
The shoebox gifts that you prayerfully packed in 2025—12,205,900, (of which VJF gave 585 boxes) praise God! —will help open doors for us to reach even more children with God’s love in the new year. From jungles to deserts, from megacities to remote villages, these shoeboxes will go to the very ends of the earth.
