Greetings friend,
Last week we celebrated Back to Church Weekend with almost 600 people in attendance! Thank You, Lord, for the opportunity to challenge so many people with Your Word of Truth in these trying times! We now have 168 people registered for I.C.A.N. (Idaho Christian Action Network)! We’re excited to see how God will move in the hearts of our legislators as we encourage them through our prayers and phone calls to vote biblically. If you haven’t registered yet, you can click here to do so: https://www.restoredcommunitychurch.org
This weekend we return to our story From Pit to Palace – The Life of Joseph. Chapter 45 might be the most emotionally charged chapter in all the Old Testament! Joseph will shock the ever-living souls of his 11 brothers as he announces his true identity to their faces. They’re so shocked by his words they practically go comatose on the spot! Will he exact revenge for the horrible crime against God, their brother and father? Put your seatbelts on for this one!
Join us in celebrating those who’ve given their lives to Christ in recent weeks at RCC! God is drawing many into the kingdom through our faithfulness to His Word.
The new Restored Life Center @ RCC is moving along! Please pray for the safety of the workers, and the needed finances to meet our goal.

Thank you for being a part of what God is doing at and through, Restored Community Church! Your partnership in sharing the Gospel both here and across the globe is a reward awaiting the faithful in Heaven.
And on that note, I want to give you some great news about how God is using our church to reach the lost and hurting through our giving to missions. Almost 2 weeks ago, the country of Morocco experienced a devastating earthquake in the region where we have missionaries (Andy & Kathy) faithfully serving. While our friends’ home survived, thousands of people are now homeless and left to sleep on the ground in the open. Soon the seasonal rains will arrive, and this has caused great concern for the many lives left without shelter. Our missionaries have the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus like never before as they’ve made arrangements to purchase tents from a neighboring country. Through your faithful giving, and RCC’s commitment to set aside 16% (on our way to 20% soon) of our total offering to Missions, our church was able to cover the cost of 160 tents to shelter many of these families and the impact has been amazing. The locals now see these missionaries’ hearts and view them as genuinely concerned for their wellbeing. The doors are opening to them as I write. Please be in prayer that God would bring many to Christ there in Morocco, and that He would meet the many needs there in the work of sharing the Gospel. To God be the glory!
I am so encouraged by all that is going on in, and through, our church! God has been so good to us. May He alone receive the glory and honor in the work of reaching this generation with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Praising Jesus with you,
Pastor Ben
