Back in 1988, the Lord led us to carve out time in our services for God to touch us with his presence and power. The Lord was moving in our midst, releasing healing and wholeness. Ever since that time, we have sought to bless what the Lord is doing by making time in our services, small group meetings, and other gatherings for Ministry Time. We want to pray for one another and partner with what the Lord is doing. Through the years, the Lord has touched people with his saving, delivering, healing, ... Read More

Change in Mindset
Your help at Hairgrove Elementary is making a difference. In partnership with Copperfield Church, we provide a meal and snack for the Title One Camps at Hairgrove.

Sharing Our Lives, Sharing the Journey, The Calvary Quest
Back in August of 1982, a new church started in Northwest Houston. Three men worked out of their cars. They knocked on thousands of doors, conducting a religious census. In the midst of these door-to-door encounters, they shared about a new church that was starting in the neighborhood. Seeds were planted. Over the next weeks, the senior pastor and worship leader strategized about how to reach the people in the community. Both the pastor and worship leader came from full-time evangelistic ... Read More
The Joy of Mentoring
I love mentoring a child in school. Mentors have a huge impact on students. One child asks, "Would you mentor my friend, too?" A mentee has a question: "My friend wants to know if she can come and meet with us every week." As you walk into a classroom, the children see you, then point you out to the child you've come to mentor. They all know you are there for her. At the beginning of the year, you are told the child you will be mentoring is very quiet; she never talks. As you meet with her ... Read More
Testimony of a Mentor
Seven years ago I became a mentor. I started visiting a fourth grade girl at Holmsley Elementary. Every week, we spent 30 minutes together. We talked about school, friends, books, interests, and whatever else she brought up. When the fourth grade year ended, she asked me to come back the next year. However, when fifth grade began and I returned, things progressed differently. Several times, special school activities were going on simultaneously with our meeting time. I could tell she wanted to ... Read More
Ministry in Latvia
Do you ever stop to wonder where the years have gone? I was thinking of this just the other day when I was looking back at all the ministry trips I’ve taken to the Eastern European country of Latvia since 1992. It seems like a long time ago that I made my first trip there but at the same time, it’s gone by like it was just yesterday. I thought I would journal some of the blessings this wonderful little country has given me and the opportunities I’ve had on some of our trips. Perhaps I can invite ... Read More

An Amazing Victory over Cancer
Praise God for his healing mercies. Recently, Wendy Weil invited a family to Mark and Renita LeCrone’s Small Group. The husband needed prayer for two desperate, untreatable conditions. Manuel was fighting prostate cancer and bladder problems. Misguided radiation treatments for prostate cancer back in the northeast resulted in a hole in his bladder. No other options were available for treating his prostate cancer. Right after he received prayer at the LeCrone's LIFT Group, Manuel stopped having ... Read More
