Check Out These New Sojourn Photos & Story Excerpts!

If you follow the “Share Your Story” section on our new vision website, vision.sojournchurch.com, you’ll see an ever-growing list of short testimonies about what God has done for people through the Sojourn community, from Sojourn members and from church planters.   We hope you’ll add your testimony too, at the “Share Your Story” link above.  Here are excerpts from this past week:

Mandy Groce:

My friends let me know that my concerns over the state of the world, our nation in particular, had started to be seen as anxiety. I am so thankful for a community that spurs me on to pray for my leaders without losing hope in my one true king.

Hilary Noltemeyer:

When Willow was born a couple months later, we had only attended Sojourn a few times, but the outpouring of support and love was crazy! We had meals provided for us, people we had never met were calling to check on us, to see what they could do to help. Now she wasn’t the only kid, but she was the 1st baby and none of us, especially me, knew what we were doing. However, that didn’t stop the love and support that flowed from strangers to support us in our time of need.

Simon Groce:

Reading through the Old Testament, God repeatedly calls us to care for the alien, the fatherless and the widow. James 1:27 tells us that “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress”. Through SEED, Sojourn Counseling and the growing Adoption Ministry, Sojourn has seen many orphans adopted, widows provided for, and the hurting embraced. Praise God!
