Williams </h2> <p class="has-drop-cap" style="font-size:24px">Have you ever been in a dark night season of the soul? Years ago I was held captive to a long period of difficulty that felt like it would never break. It was as if I were in a dark tunnel. I knew God was with me, but I could not see a speck of light. During that season He gave me hope that things would not stay as they were, but I spent a lot of time waiting in the dark. Maybe you are currently in a similar situation or perhaps you are contending for a breakthrough or an answer to prayer. Whether you are in a hard, dark place or just sitting in a waiting room, I would like to share with you five things I learned to do during that period of my life that helped me until I could see again. If you are asking the Lord to move in a situation, I encourage you to integrate these tips into your waiting until you see the manifestation of His mighty hand. </p> <p class="has-text-color" style="color:#477c7b;font-size:24px"><strong>Remember His faithfulness when you don’t understand. </strong></p> <p>While in the tunnel, I made an actual list of questions for God that I actively held before Him. I was eager to get understanding and longed for an immediate breakthrough. For some time instead of getting answers it felt as if the list grew longer. I could relate to the writer of Psalm 77. He also was in a very difficult place with many questions for God. But despite his troubled state, he chose to turn his attention toward remembering God’s power at work.  </p> <p class="has-background has-medium-font-size" style="background-color:#cadede">Then I thought, <em><strong>“To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand. I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds” </strong></em>(Psalm 77:10-12, NIV). </p> <p>The psalmist then declared who God is, recalling His miracles, His might, and His redemption. This also is what I learned to do. In my most difficult moments, I remembered God’s historical faithfulness in my life. Because I knew God was powerful, I imagined His plans being greater than the intensity of the warfare I was experiencing. I refused to believe that I would stay stuck in that place and anticipated the deliverance of the Lord. When your circumstances are screaming, it is time to amplify acknowledgement of how great God is. Reviewing what He did in the past can provide hope for the future and actually propel you forward.  </p> <p>Write a record of the things God has done for you and that you have seen Him do. Tell your stories of His goodness. Praise Him for who He is and anchor your heart into expectancy that He is at work in your situation and will come through strong once again. </p> <p class="has-text-color" style="color:#477c7b;font-size:24px"><strong>Stand on His Word in prayer. </strong></p> <p>Ask the Holy Spirit, your Helper, to show you Scripture and promises that you can hold onto in this season. When I am carrying something in prayer, I write these treasures out and put them where they are regularly in front of my eyes. In order to take hold of the promises, we must engage our faith and <strong>expect</strong> that God will meet us. This is His design! </p> <p class="has-background has-medium-font-size" style="background-color:#cadede"><strong><em>And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him</em> </strong>(Hebrews 11:6). </p> <p>Luke 18 shares the parable of the persistent widow who got justice even from an unjust judge. Jesus told the disciples this parable to teach them “that they should always pray and not give up” (18:1). Too often we throw in the towel and stop when we don’t see immediate breakthrough. If you have laid down something that God put in your heart to contend for, I want to encourage you to reach out today and take hold of His grace to continue earnestly seeking Him, expecting that He will reward you as you stand on His Word and persist in faithful prayer. </p> <p class="has-text-color" style="color:#477c7b;font-size:24px"><strong>Find others to agree with you in prayer. </strong></p> <p>There is great power in collective agreement in prayer. Jesus never wanted us to carry things solo. Instead, He gave us this key: </p> <p class="has-background has-medium-font-size" style="background-color:#cadede"><strong><em>I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them</em></strong> (Matthew 18:19-20). </p> <p>We need each other. I learned that asking for prayer requires vulnerability and humility, and it is entirely worth it. This was one of the biggest factors that began to bring me out of my dark season. For too long I tried to carry some things on my own, but God wanted me to let others help with my burden. Think of how much breakthrough we would see if everyone took hold of this principle! Here is my challenge to you: Invite one or two friends into a prayer project with you. Everyone brings their prayer point to the table. Commit to meeting and agreeing in prayer together over the list in regular rhythms. In between meeting, you each should continue to agree in prayer over the points. Commit to praying through until you can testify to how God moved.  </p> <p class="has-text-color" style="color:#477c7b;font-size:24px"><strong>Toss the trash. </strong></p> <p>During my time of contending, it seemed the enemy was constantly bombarding me with the temptation to think negatively. One day the Lord made it very clear to me that I needed to identify negativity and send it away from me. I began to pay closer attention to how I was thinking. Often when I was not thinking correctly, the Holy Spirit would give me a picture of a dumpster in my mind’s eye. I was so grateful for His aid and depended upon Him to help me break negative agreements and expectations. When we invite Him to help us, the Holy Spirit will renew our minds so that we think differently. We can partner with Him to focus with heavenly perspective. Here is the standard we are looking for: </p> <p class="has-background has-medium-font-size" style="background-color:#cadede"><strong><em>Brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things</em> </strong>(Philippians 4:8). </p> <p class="has-text-color" style="color:#477c7b;font-size:24px"><strong>Worship in the waiting. </strong></p> <p>When something is heavy on your heart, it can demand a great deal of your attention. It commands much of your mind space and energy. It is important to realize that whatever you focus upon is what you empower. If you grab hold of this truth, you will find that worship is a weapon. You may have to tell your soul to magnify the Lord, but once it gets engaged and you begin to give God true worship from your heart, the atmosphere will shift. When you incline your heart toward Him and love on Him, He will draw near to you in return. God’s nearness is the greatest gift in the waiting room, for His presence fills the space, and suddenly you are reminded that you are not alone.  </p> <p>Perhaps the greatest gift from God during my dark season was when He re-taught me this. I was a worshiper from the time I was little, but warfare made me weary during my dark season. When God wooed me back into worship, I realized that I was truly not alone in the waiting room. And in that dark tunnel, not only was He with me, but He was holding my hand all the way through. And eventually, He walked me right into the light. </p> <p>My friend, continue strong. Your light is coming!</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">About the Author</h2> <div class="wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile has-small-font-size" style="grid-template-columns:30% auto"><figure class="wp-block-media-text__media"><img decoding="async" width="800" height="778" src="https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Across-the-Nation-WILLIAMS-George-Sarah-027.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19592 size-full" srcset="https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Across-the-Nation-WILLIAMS-George-Sarah-027.jpg 800w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Across-the-Nation-WILLIAMS-George-Sarah-027-300x292.jpg 300w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Across-the-Nation-WILLIAMS-George-Sarah-027-768x747.jpg 768w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Across-the-Nation-WILLIAMS-George-Sarah-027-600x584.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></figure><div class="wp-block-media-text__content"> <p style="font-size:16px"><strong>Sarah</strong> and her husband, <strong>George</strong>, have been in ministry together since they were married in 2006.

style="font-size:24px">Open Bible has a rich heritage of women ministry leaders. Our denomination was birthed in revival and formed by the union of two movements that branched off from other denominations founded and led by women (Florence Crawford and Aimee Semple McPherson). Open Bible’s position on women in ministry leadership celebrates women leaders at all levels. However, even with this rich history and current blessing for women in ministry leadership, it is still rare to find women in certain ministry positions within our churches. There are multiple reasons for this, but here are five actions to consider when addressing this issue.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">1. Look at your own biases.</mark></h2> <p>Most often, women aren’t chosen for senior leadership roles because “it hasn’t been done before.” Tradition can be a powerful force, but sometimes it keeps important change from happening. Ask yourself how you would feel if a woman were chosen as the senior pastor of your church. Chances are it might feel awkward. Awkward doesn’t always mean it’s wrong. It usually means it’s just different. This awkwardness is often temporary, and the willingness to lean into it can create new opportunities for women to lead. When a ministry leadership position opens, allow yourself to consider both women and men as candidates for the position.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">2. Study what Scripture says about women leaders.</mark></h2> <p>The Old and New Testaments are full of women who played important leadership roles at all levels. Look at the influence and level of authority they were given. Study the “problem passages” (e.g. 1 Corinthians 14:34 and 1 Timothy 2:12) in Scripture that appear to limit women teaching and speaking. Some reputable scholars and commentaries show how these passages were meant to address specific problems that the early church dealt with rather than become an overall rule limiting women in leadership. If you are a church leader, clearly communicate your church’s position on women in ministry leadership. Too often, this topic is ignored, keeping the status quo going.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">3. Champion women leaders.</mark></h2> <p>Encourage women, young and old, who have the gift to lead. Mentor them. Hire them. It is a blessing when a woman unselfishly cheers on another woman in her leadership; too often, there’s a temptation to be jealous or deliver harsh criticism, which leads to hesitance in stepping into leadership. It’s especially impactful when a male leader encourages and makes room for a woman to lead. Giving the same opportunities to women that would be given to men who are learning to lead is so important. Too often it is rare to have a young woman given time on stage or other public responsibilities while such opportunities are given to the men who are being trained. Try to be equal where you can. Make room for inexperience and give repeated opportunities to learn and grow.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">4. Preach about strong women leaders in the Bible. </mark></h2> <p>Scripture is filled with women leaders such as Miriam, Hannah, Esther, Deborah, Mary, and Priscilla. Highlighting their lives shows how God’s leadership gifts are given to both men and women. This encourages women leaders and gives them biblical role models.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">5. Nurture a culture of leadership sharing.</mark></h2> <p>Many times, the church hears from one pastor’s voice most of the time. Regularly sharing the pulpit creates space where leaders in training can experience public ministry. Allowing both men and women to preach helps your congregation become accustomed to both male and female leadership, creating a bench of players who can be trained to assist at all levels of church leadership. This keeps the church from idolizing or draining one leader and allows more people’s gifts to be shared.</p> <p>The Church, the Bride of Christ, functions more fully when men and women work side by side in leadership. When women’s voices and leadership gifts are ignored or limited, half of the Church’s voice is muted. However, when men and women unselfishly share leadership and influence, God’s kingdom moves forward powerfully. This unselfish sharing of leadership reflects God’s nature more fully, creating a space where the Holy Spirit can come and powerfully move.</p> <p>Additional resources:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://www.openbible.org/filesimages/pdf/OpenBibleManual_12132024.pdf">Open Bible Manual</a> – Official Statements 7.6: The Role of Women in Ministry and Leadership (p. 89)</li> <li><a href="https://vimeo.com/815083772?tq=#t=3261">Open Bible Webinar: Women in Ministry Leadership: Answering God’s Call</a></li> <li>Book to help with biblical theology of women in ministry leadership: God’s Women Then and Now by Deborah M.

I wrestled with my uneasiness, unsure why I felt this way until God began to unlock my understanding. From the time I was young, I had built my life to be full to the brim, accumulating a long resume of accomplishments, none of which brought me satisfaction. Instead, God placed a hunger inside of me to be marked by the supernatural. One definition of supernatural is “above, beyond, and far higher and greater than the natural.” I longed to see things that exceeded what I could do through my own achievements and to witness the power of God in my daily life.  </p> <figure class="wp-block-pullquote alignright"><blockquote><p><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color">God placed a hunger inside of me to be marked by the supernatural.</mark></p></blockquote></figure> <p>Since that time, God has taught me to forsake striving and performance, instead discovering His will and wisdom by walking in friendship with Him. Even more than before, my heart yearns to experience ministry moments that inspire awe of our magnificent God. Our team had the honor of experiencing some of these moments during our summer of outreach at Asbury Park. As I share our story, I’ll also share the five lessons we learned through reaching our neighborhood. </p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="alignleft size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="866" height="1024" src="https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Neighborhood-man-receiving-prayer-as-he-chooses-to-give-His-life-to-Jesus-866x1024.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-21915" style="width:300px" srcset="https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Neighborhood-man-receiving-prayer-as-he-chooses-to-give-His-life-to-Jesus-866x1024.jpeg 866w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Neighborhood-man-receiving-prayer-as-he-chooses-to-give-His-life-to-Jesus-254x300.jpeg 254w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Neighborhood-man-receiving-prayer-as-he-chooses-to-give-His-life-to-Jesus-768x908.jpeg 768w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Neighborhood-man-receiving-prayer-as-he-chooses-to-give-His-life-to-Jesus-1299x1536.jpeg 1299w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Neighborhood-man-receiving-prayer-as-he-chooses-to-give-His-life-to-Jesus.jpeg 1427w" sizes="(max-width: 866px) 100vw, 866px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Neighborhood man receiving prayer as he chooses to give His life to Jesus</em></figcaption></figure></div> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color">1. We can partner with God to see His desires fulfilled.  </mark></strong></p> <p>We were gathered for our regular weekly prayer meeting when God said, “I want this neighborhood. Will you make My name great at Asbury Park?” We felt the weight of this invitation. For a year, we had been hosting neighbors in the basement of our ministry house for weekly dinners. Dozens had found community and a sense of belonging in that space. Some had already met Jesus, but He wanted us to cast the net further. No one on our team had imagined taking our Thursday night dinners out to the park for the summer. But God had heard our cry: “God, you get to do whatever is in your heart to do. We pray your will be done in this region and that Jesus would be glorified.” And that day, He gave us another piece of His blueprint for our region. </p> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color">2. We don’t have to strive. </mark></strong></p> <p>Naturally, we looked at the invitation from God and imagined possibilities of how to gather the community at our neighborhood park. We considered the successes of past events that utilized raffle and prize incentives or entertainment such as bounce houses. We went back to prayer and God revealed more of His plan to us. He wanted it simple. As we prayed, He gave us visions of the stations in the park: crafts themed to tell the story of creation, food to fill bellies, a field with kids carefree and playing, bold worship, and a baptismal. He said to get ready for people to be saved and baptized!  </p> <figure class="wp-block-pullquote alignright"><blockquote><p><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color">May we all live in daily expectation of the things that are beyond what we could do in our own ability, partnering with God and watching His fame spread across the earth.</mark></p></blockquote></figure> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color">3.

God impressed upon us that He would be faithful to provide everything we needed to serve the community in this way. We chose to embrace His plan with faith that He would make a way. </p> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color">4.

And so, His people took that love to the park. We shared the good news that Jesus gave His life so that all could be saved, healed, and delivered.

Many encountered the power of the Holy Spirit in a personal way. Twenty-four people chose to follow Jesus through water baptism! </p> <p>God rained down this summer on Asbury Park. It was His plan, His provision, His glory. It was Jesus’ reward.

of a church. Most students further their relationship with Christ at special events like church camps or mission trips. But the reality of these intentional events is that they cost money, and sometimes a lot of money, for our students. Money should never be the reason a student doesn’t get to experience Jesus in a new way. Fundraising can be daunting for a youth pastor, but it doesn’t have to be! We have found that there are some consistent keys to make fundraising enjoyable, successful, and a blessing to the community. </p> <ol class="wp-block-list" start="1"> <li class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Diversify your fundraising sources. </strong>  </li> </ol> <p>Sometimes it is difficult to fundraise because it feels like we are asking the same people repeatedly to donate. When planning which types of fundraisers you’re going to do each year, make sure the fundraisers draw from various sources and audiences.  </p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Have a fundraiser that focuses on church engagement, allowing church members to bless the youth (e.g. Dessert Auction, Work Project, Bingo Night).  </li> </ul> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Have a fundraiser that draws from the local community. These might offer a service that people in your community need or enjoy (e.g. Car Wash, Flower Basket Sales, Corn Hole Tournament, Restaurant Coupons).  </li> </ul> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Have a fundraiser that draws from parents. They are going to have to pay for a portion of the event cost, so you might as well offer something to them in exchange for their investment<s>.</s> (e.g. Dunk Tank to dunk students or youth leaders, Date Night with babysitting at the church).  </li> </ul> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Lastly, have a fundraiser that casts a wide net and engages high numbers of people.

When we make fundraisers fun, students will want to show up and do the work. Here are two of our favorites as examples:  </p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="alignright size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="768" height="1024" src="https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Students-race-to-eat-as-many-wings-as-they-can-to-raise-money-for-camp-768x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-21633" style="width:300px" srcset="https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Students-race-to-eat-as-many-wings-as-they-can-to-raise-money-for-camp-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Students-race-to-eat-as-many-wings-as-they-can-to-raise-money-for-camp-225x300.jpg 225w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Students-race-to-eat-as-many-wings-as-they-can-to-raise-money-for-camp-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Students-race-to-eat-as-many-wings-as-they-can-to-raise-money-for-camp-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Students-race-to-eat-as-many-wings-as-they-can-to-raise-money-for-camp-1440x1920.jpg 1440w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Students-race-to-eat-as-many-wings-as-they-can-to-raise-money-for-camp-600x800.jpg 600w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Students-race-to-eat-as-many-wings-as-they-can-to-raise-money-for-camp-rotated.jpg 1512w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Students race to eat as many wings as they can to raise money for camp</figcaption></figure></div> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Wing-A-thon: We have a local chicken shack that makes incredible wings, and they allow us to come in and eat unlimited wings for an hour. Students must collect sponsors to pay them for each wing they can eat. There are “Wing Refs” that ensure students eat all the meat off the bone, there is trivia for spectators, and prizes are awarded based on most wings eaten, fewest wings eaten, spiciest basket finished, surprise competitor, etc. We even let family members eat on behalf of students to encourage everyone to participate (sponsors just need to know it is Dad eating the wings and not a 12-year-old).  </li> </ul> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Dunk Tank Fundraiser: Every year at our summer baptism service, we spend a couple hundred bucks and rent a dunk tank. People can pay ten dollars for three chances to dunk the student of their choice, and at the end we do a bidding war for people to be able to dunk each of our staff pastors. You’d be surprised how high some of these bids can get!  </li> </ul> <ol class="wp-block-list" start="3"> <li class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Utilize business sponsorships. </strong> </li> </ol> <p>Business sponsorships are typically in larger amounts than contributions from individual donors, and they can serve multiple purposes. These funds can be used to make fundraiser events better by allowing you to purchase prizes, decor, or props. They can cover costs (like paying for everyone to eat unlimited wings so it doesn’t count against the student fundraising). They can go towards travel expenses to help drive down event costs. Any leftover funds can be offered to students who have a harder time fundraising. One perk of a church being a non<s>–</s>profit is we can provide businesses with tax donation forms for anything they give. Additionally, engaging these businesses fosters community partnership.  </p> <figure class="wp-block-pullquote alignright"><blockquote><p>Money should never be the reason a student doesn’t get to experience Jesus in a new way. Fundraising can be daunting for a youth pastor, but it doesn’t have to be!</p></blockquote></figure> <ol class="wp-block-list" start="4"> <li class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Allow fundraisers to be outreach opportunities.</strong>  </li> </ol> <p>Fundraisers are wonderful opportunities to invite people into church environments. Encourage students to invite their friends and family to come support at fundraising events. Encourage leadership to attend fundraisers to socialize and build new relationships. Find ways to pray at the event, share testimonies, and model the gospel. </p> <ol class="wp-block-list" start="5"> <li class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Overpromote!</strong>  </li> </ol> <p>Utilize every platform you have in promoting your fundraisers. Make them a Facebook event, post them on your organization’s website, post social media stories that students and parents can share, create graphics for church announcements and printed fliers, send emails via your church database, and have fundraising nights where you sit down with your students to help them write and send out support letters. Lastly, never assume a student will fill their guardians in on what is going on. Always individually connect with parents and give them the information directly.  </p> <p>Fundraising does take work and intentionality, but it is so worth it. Instead of focusing on the money, keep the focus on Christ. He will provide in a perfect and timely manner. Philippians 4:19 says, “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (NIV). Plan with intention, but have fun with your students, church, and community as you equip these students for an awesome opportunity to experience Jesus! </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">About the Author</h2> <div class="wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex" style="padding-top:2.5rem;padding-right:2.5rem;padding-bottom:2.5rem;padding-left:2.5rem"> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:25%"> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="683" height="1024" src="https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aaron-and-Christine-McAndrews-Bio-Photo-683x1024.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-21499" srcset="https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aaron-and-Christine-McAndrews-Bio-Photo-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aaron-and-Christine-McAndrews-Bio-Photo-200x300.jpeg 200w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aaron-and-Christine-McAndrews-Bio-Photo-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aaron-and-Christine-McAndrews-Bio-Photo-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aaron-and-Christine-McAndrews-Bio-Photo-600x900.jpeg 600w, https://openbiblemessage.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Aaron-and-Christine-McAndrews-Bio-Photo.jpeg 1088w" sizes="(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px" /></figure> </div> <div class="wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow" style="flex-basis:75%"> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Aaron and Christine McAndrews</strong></h2> <p class="has-small-font-size"><strong>Aaron and Christine McAndrews </strong>both grew up in Thurston, Oregon, and love the people there like family.
