Women with Purpose Ministry Emily Vail - I was born to Christian parents and raised in church all of my life. I was taught to honor God by my life’s decisions and serve Him willingly. My parents were always examples of that. I have two sisters who share these values.
My life has taken many turns, not all of them the way God would have had me go. Thankfully, He loved me and worked in me to bring me back to His path. I have been blessed richly through God’s provision and protection, even when I failed to be faithful.
Missions Bill McFarlane - I have been a member of Christ’s Church of the Valley from almost the beginning; and have served in many different areas. At the present time I am serving as director of missions. It is an extremely challenging and rewarding ministry. I had the privilege of organizing and leading our first mission trip in August to the American Indian Christian Mission. From the very start, God prepared all of us, especially me, for this trip. We were so blessed by the trip that another trip is being planned. Our congregation supports other organizations: Nino’s De Baja, Colegio Biblico, Atescedero Christian Home, North American Christian Convention, Care Net, Acton Rehab, Christian Children’s Fund, Hope International University and William Jessup University.
