March 21: Bruce & Audrey Chikalla, Bangor, CA
Bangor is an hour north of Sacramento at the base of the Sierra Nevadas, surrounded by the Sierra Nevada foothills, rolling pasture land, and beautiful mountains. It’s a very scenic area, no matter where you travel around this northern CA town. Bangor has about 500 people, with no central town area besides a Feed Store, Post Office, and the Bangor Store. Homes are spread out with a diverse community of people. We’ve been at Bangor for 3 years now and the congregation is wonderful. We have a strong leadership team and faithful people who desire to know God the Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Our congregation is growing, so pray that the new people who come to check us out find what they’re looking for. We began hosting an Alcoholics Anonymous group in January, led by a member of our congregation, so pray for outreach opportunities. Pray for our “How to Study the Bible” class that also began in the New Year. We also ask for wisdom for direction in new areas of ministry and outreach.
