Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ! As followers of the risen Savior, we are not called to keep the light of the Gospel hidden within the comfort of our church walls. Jesus Himself commissioned us: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). The Great Commission is not a suggestion—it’s our marching orders! The world outside these four walls is full of people longing for hope, truth, and the transforming power of the Good News. Now is the time for our church to rise up, step out in faith, and carry the message of salvation to those who need it most.

One beautiful way we can do this together is by reaching those who are often overlooked: our shut-ins, those unable to attend our gatherings due to health, mobility, distance, or other circumstances. These precious souls are part of the body of Christ, and they deserve to hear and experience the life-giving Word just as much as anyone.

We have an exciting opportunity to extend the ministry of our church right into their homes. Please help us spread the Good News by sharing our new video series with someone you know who fits this description—a friend, family member, neighbor, or loved one who can’t join us in person but whose heart is open to God’s truth.

Our weekly Bible study series, The Gospel Trail, is designed to walk through the transformative message of the Gospel in a fresh, engaging way—exploring the path Jesus walked, the truths He taught, and the hope He offers to all. The very first episode of a new series will be released and published next Thursday!

Imagine the joy of someone isolated or far away discovering (or rediscovering) the wonders of God’s grace through these teachings. Your simple act of sharing could be the spark that reignites their faith, draws them closer to Jesus, and even connects them to our ongoing weekly Bible Study community.

Would you prayerfully consider these steps today?

1. Think of one (or more) people in your life who might be encouraged, comforted, or challenged by this series.

2. Share the video link with them personally—perhaps through a text, email, phone call, or social media message—with a warm note from your heart.

3. Pray earnestly that the Holy Spirit would soften their hearts, incline them toward the truth, and lead them to join us as we journey together on The Gospel Trail.

Let us be a church that refuses to stay comfortable inside our buildings. Let us be a people who passionately proclaim the Good News beyond our doors—starting with those closest to us who are waiting to hear it. The Great Commission can start with a Text: Share The Gospel Trail today.

May the Lord multiply our efforts as we obey His call. To Him be the glory!

In His service and love,

Rev. Kevin Raihala
