Pleasant Valley has the wonderful opportunity to yet again visit Mozambique, Africa July 29 - August 9! 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.

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.
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.

InterVarsity Christian Fellowship seeks to partner with God to advance his kingdom on college campuses, by developing witnessing communities of students and staff who are growing in love for God, his Word, his people of every ethnicity and culture, and his purposes. Amy O’Connell serves as the InterVarsity campus staff at Winona State, where the chapter is being replanted with the desire of serving not-yet-reached corners of campus. This is the same chapter where Amy came to faith in Jesus Christ during her freshman year, and she longs to see today’s students also transformed through an intimate relationship with the Lord. InterVarsity meets weekly on campus for bible study, a shared meal, and prayer, and offers other opportunities for individual discipleship and community building. There is much work to be done at Winona State, and Amy is passionate about and grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside students as they explore what it means to truly follow Jesus.
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.
