The Need for a Church

Written by Travis Pyykkonen Gathered together in the Poel’s living room, we had just finished planning all the activities for the Cambodia kids camp and I was filled with excitement. I was starting to imagine the joy of creating real relationships with these kids through fun songs, games, and storytelling. Confident in the good news of Jesus, I anticipated the…

Why Cambodia?

Written by Tim Tatum Dear Redeemer Community, Why are we sending a team to Cambodia? Chai lived in and was saved at the Jumpah orphanage/school. He is now crying out to God for a church! Redeemer Community, we might be God’s answer! Jodi and I met Chai more than 10 years ago (see picture) on our visit to Jumpah. Chai came to live at the Jumpah orphanage when he was…

2 Samuel Sermon Series: Broken & Beloved

This autumn, we’ll follow the epic story of King David in 2 Samuel. As you probably know, David is a Beloved King. Actually, his name literally means “beloved.” God’s people love him. More importantly, God loves him. But what about his relationship with Bathsheba? What about all of the violence? What about all of the chaos that surrounds his life,…

Two weeks ago, Katie and I were at the Acts 29 Global Gathering in Orlando, along with Josh & Kimberly Anderson and Kyle & Coleen Gennicks. We came home much more excited to be involved in this church-planting network. Here are a few of the things I found energizing: 1) We saw more clearly than ever that Acts 29 truly is a diverse and global church-planting…

Youth Camp 2019

Thank you to all who prayed for our Youth Camp at the beginning of June. It was a success! God’s Word was delivered through His faithful servants, relationships were deepened, hearts were softened by God’s Word through His Spirit, deep theological questions were asked, weary leaders were strengthened for the week, marshmallows were toasted, kiddie pools were…

8 Ways to Pray for Summer Camp This Week

In less than 24 hours, a bunch of middle schoolers, high schoolers, and youth leaders are heading down to our church’s annual youth camp. We’ll spend three and a half days together with bonfires and a frog-filled pond and lots of sweat. When Redeemer started doing summer camps six years ago, I was skeptical. Was a noisy, sweaty, goofy week really that helpful? But when we…

Youth Camp

Youth Camp- possibly the highlight of the summer- is just around the corner! Youth who are entering the 7th grade in the fall up to 12th grade are invited to join us June 3-6 at Dickson Valley Camp for singing, bonfires, games, other splendid camp activities, and most importantly, hearing from God’s Word. We will wrap up our study of the Sermon on the Mount, which we have…

21 Days of Praying

As a church, we want to re-enroll in the school of prayer, and join the disciples in asking, “Lord, teach us to pray,” (Luke 11:1). We want to challenge you as a disciple to join us in 21 days of praying for 21 minutes a day. For some, that’s a stretch. But we’re absolutely certain that it will be worth it. Is there any situation in which praying…
