The events began with a huge tailgate party at the Dust Devils game. Kevin and Angela Loresch and Keith and Linda McNeely know how to tailgate with the best of them! Over 50 of us huddled in the Dust Devils parking lot and did the All-American thing together! We all got to know each other a bit better and took opportunity to touch people’s lives by getting to know them while handing out a handfull of donated game tickets, hotdogs & soda. The weekend didn’t stop here, though! Sunday morning at 7a over 70 of us gathered at the Fairchild Cinemas to set up equipment for the first time. Starbucks coffee and Yokes Donuts greeted us as we converged on the property. Last minute details were shared then we took time to PRAY and sing to our God who made all of this possible.

Outstanding teamwork made the morning a great success. An added blessing was all of the Tech equipment worked as planned-Praise the LORD! We ended the morning led by the band in Worship and prayer. It was an amazing morning.

So what do we know now? Teams are great! Equipment is in place. All of this is great, we continue to PRAY. Along the way we have prayed that God would send us into West Pasco, not with teams and equipment, but with His people burdened for people to know Christ - to MAKE DISCIPLES!

The West Pasco Campus Team was commissioned by Bethel’s Elders during the two morning services on August 10. Over ninety people are set to serve in Children’s, Tech, Hosts, Facility, Ushers, Worship and Small Groups. This is the last Sunday before the Team heads over to the new campus to begin setup/teardown practices as well as two prelaunch services on August 24 and 31. The excitement is growing as September 7 quickly approaches.

Tomorrow evening, July 15th, the West Pasco Campus teams will be together for the first time! The response to being involved in a team has been amazing and the phrase heard most often is (I’ll paraphrase), “How can I get involved? I know God wants me to help reach the families of West Pasco”.

Tomorrow we’ll find out how we will do it as a team…together! Join us, even if you haven’t yet figured out just where God wants to use you. We’ll meet in the Desert View room at 7pm.

You are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it ~ I Corinthians 12

We are hitting the streets of West Pasco…to pray. Currently, there are no churches in the new West Pasco area. What was once open fields for farming has now become an open field for a harvest for God. The Apostle Paul asked the Colossians to pray “that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ”. Now is the time, even before we load in our first piece of equipment, to pray that God would open doors and that we may proclaim Jesus Christ clearly.

Lace on your shoes and fill up your water bottle on Saturday, May 17th at 5PM to join in walking and praying through a neighborhood in West Pasco.

Meet in the parking lot near the soccer fields/baseball stadium on Burden Blvd. in West Paso.
