Mountain View Church - Upward Outreach
Upward Outreach serves to meet the needs of those in our community and beyond by sharing God's love and care through the distribution of goods. We aim to lift others up while keeping the focus Upward to Christ. We work with local churches, schools and outreaches for distribution, as well as distribute ourselves in the community. At this time our specific aim is to provide warm necessities to those that will be living in the elements this winter. If you would like to help by donating specific items to the outreach we are looking for: sleeping bags (winter ones especially), tents, tarps, warm hats and gloves, backpacks, thermal underwear, socks and hand warmers. We will also happily accept adult bicycles.

Wycliffe Bible Translators
In 1917 a missionary named William Cameron
Townsend went to Guatemala to sell Spanish
Bibles. But he was shocked when many people
couldn’t understand the books. They spoke
Cakchiquel, a language without a Bible. Cam
believed everyone should understand the Bible,
so he started a linguistics school (the Summer
Institute of Linguistics, known today as SIL)
that trained people to do Bible translation. The
work continued to grow, and in 1942 Cam
officially founded Wycliffe Bible Translators.
Over the following decades, Wycliffe celebrated
many milestones — from the first translation
completed in 1951, all the way to the 500th
translation completed in 2000. Around the same
time, Wycliffe adopted a new challenge — a
goal of seeing a Bible translation project started
in every language still needing one by 2025.

Missionary Family Support
Introducing the Jenkins Family
MVC’s newest Missionary Family we are supporting.
Tamara is from Alaska and Jeremy grew up in Senegal, West Africa (They are the son & daughter-in-law of Jay and Sue Jenkins with Wycliffe Bible Translation). They were working in Senegal for the past 4 years, but their dorm closed down due to lack of enrollment, so have joined a new ministry in Papua, Indonesia.
God moved them in the direction of serving Him overseas at a school called Ob Anggen (Good Fruit) in a village known as Bokondini in Papua, Indonesia. They will be 1 set of 5 dorm parents and their roles will be to support high schoolers physically and spiritually as they attend a Christian school with international education standards. The school's vision is that missionary and national kids would be given a quality education and we could help end the cycle of poverty throughout Papua's villages. Their hope is that these kids would gain self-confidence, a love for Christ, and true knowledge of the Gospel that they could share with their families in their villages where they do not know Christ.
Please keep Jeremy, Tamara and their three children, Jace, Reese & Josie in your prayers!.
