Summer Walk and Worship Guide
Summer is a great time to get outdoors and seek God through prayer. We have put together a Summer Walk and Worship Guide that we hope will help you to continue to seek God and pray over the summer. There will be a group that will be meeting on the days and times listed and all are welcome to join. If you cannot make that time, no worries, you are free to go and use the guide on your own or with others. We hope that this will be a blessing and encouragement to you.
Giving
The act of giving changes us, making us more like our generous Creator. God is the ultimate giver who gave the most precious gift, His son Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. We are passionate about sharing this message with our communities and with the next generation. Your giving helps transform lives and helps make a difference! You can give to God at wilshireave.com/give by clicking on the button below.

Colombia Church Plant
God is doing amazing things at the church we helped plant in Colombia. The building is currently under construction but that hasn’t stopped the believers there. The church is making a difference in the community and meeting under a tree to worship and have service. Please continue to pray for Colombia as their COVID numbers have increased recently.
