Kicking off the new year!

Lee and Dana Trotter
Prescott Community Outreach
January 2018

We made it through another year! There really wasn't much doubt, but looking back over 2017, there
were a lot of challenges and successes. There were a lot of events, conversations, opportunities to help and love our neighbors, and times with our family that we are thankful for.

As we look to 2018, I'm trying to do the usual things like eat better, exercise, lose weight, etc. We are also thinking, scheming, and praying about ways to increase our outreach and minister to our neighborhood more effectively. We have tried a lot of things to do this in the past, some failed and others are becoming staples in our communities.

Some of the things we are working on this year are:
  -Continuing La Paz House and increasing our outreach to youth.
  -Working to better host and engage mission teams that visit our community.
  -Increase our bicycle ministry and outreach.
  -Expand our summer ministry programming.
  -Continue planning and working towards developing a not-for-profit 
        community development effort.
  -Develop a movie and discussion outreach program to target young adults.
  -Try to better direct neighbors from our events and outreaches to church.

Personally, we hope to paint our house, finally remodel our bathroom that wasn't included
when we rehabbed the house 7 years ago, and deal with the piles of bike parts in my back yard.
I figure that should keep us fairly busy for this year and maybe more.
Thank you for your love and support to us and our ministry. We couldn't do it without you. We just learned that one of our supporting churches is decreasing their support to us quite a bit which may effect our day
to day lives and outreach. Please pray that God will provide like He hasfor so many years!
     We love you!
     Happy New Year!

Be the Change.
