Our team sits down and talks about the recent trip to Slovakia. They discuss how the Lord is moving there, some of their favorite moments from the trip, and what are next steps might be.
Stay tuned for exciting updates! We're planning several mission trips for 2025, each designed to make a meaningful impact in communities near and far. As details are confirmed, we'll share them here, so check back soon to see how you can be part of these transformative journeys.
Pleasant Valley has the wonderful opportunity to yet again visit Mozambique, Africa Sept 24 - Oct 5! Our team will primarily be working with "Sybil's Kids" in the town of Chokwe. We will be putting on a special day where we will make crafts, play games and have a ton of fun together! There will be an opportunity to visit some of the Sybil's Kids families and we will get to hear how they're doing, encourage them and spend some time praying for them. The team will spend time at Sybil's school, and will support Sybil in anything else she would like us to be a part of during our week in Mozambique.
Book NowOver twenty years ago, Sybil Baloyi felt the Lord calling her from her job as a nurse in South Africa to go to war-torn Mozambique and work with kids. She has since started over 100s of kids clubs through the area of Chokwe, Mozambique, and is the founder and principle of a private Christian school called Hlauleka, which means "Holy Ones" (from Leviticus 19:2) that empowers students with education and cares for the orphaned and vulnerable youth in the area.
We love our missionaries here at PV as they are truly an extension of our church family. We are honored to partner with some amazing individuals and families that have answered the call to serve the Lord long-term in various parts of the world. From London, to Mozambique Africa, South East Asia and beyond. We encourage you to support them in prayer and contact them directly to offer some much needed encouragement.
Keith & Kristine founded our H20 College Ministry in the early 2000’s and were sent out from PV to plant Epic Life Church in Seattle, WA in 2009. Their mission is to see North Seattle transformed by finding an epic life in Jesus Christ. It exists to create opportunities for people to experience the full life that comes through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
The Rosenau are on staff at Oak Forest Center in Frederic Wisconsin. David serves as the facility manager and Tina is the guest service coordinator. Oak Forest Center offers much more than a remote get-away. It is a spiritual oasis, where guests’ needs are cared for so that they may focus their hearts and minds on the work the Lord is doing in and through them.
Hannah and Mickaël responded to the Lord’s call to go (or rather to stay in France where they met) and make disciples of all nations. In line with the promise found in the book of Malachi, “The name of the Lord will be great among the nations”, the Makayas are committed to seeing His name honored among all peoples. Since 2016, they have been serving the Lord in a church revitalization, where Mickaël is the pastor. By God’s grace, the church has grown from 3 people to around 40 today. The Makayas’ mission is to establish a Gospel-centered church that blesses the city, to equip families to be mission-minded and to raise up a community of worshipers who bring kingdom influence into every area of their lives. As the Makaya family lives in one of the least reached regions in France, their vision is to make disciples who make disciples and to be a church that plants other churches in surrounding cities where there are none. Their desire is to live as witnesses to the good news of Jesus Christ.
We have been commanded to GO! To go across the steet, to cross state lines and cross borders to share the good news of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ through acts of love and through His powerful words.
