In 2022 the First Assembly team arrived in Kayenta, AZ. Kayenta is a leading community in the Navajo Nation. It’s a dry place. A town thirsty for the good news and fresh water. The church was idle. The building was deteriorated. Our team worked hard that week. Our sweat dropped onto the rust- colored sandy soil and our prayers ascended above the buttes and bluffs to heaven. Today, after two trips and thousands of invested dollars, Mountain Top Church is alive, renewed, and revived. This is Kingdom Builders.

In 2023 the First Assembly team landed in Havana, Cuba. It was like stepping back in time except all nostalgia and beauty had been eradicated by neglect and a broken economy. Our team worked hard that week. Buy a house. Build a church. We invested our Kingdom Builders giving, our prayers, and our work. A church is being born before our eyes! This is Kingdom Builders.
Thank you, First Assembly for going above and beyond the tithe to invest in Kingdom Building efforts globally, locally, and into the next generation. There are more churches to be built, wells to be dug, and missionaries to be sent. Let’s make 2024 a GREAT year of giving, going, and sending!

VANBRIGGLE/KEATING

Brussels, Belgium


First Assembly has the privilege to partner with the VanBriggles, in Brussels. The VanBriggles have planted two growing churches in Brussels to reach the local community with the gospel. We also are blessed to partner with the Keatings, in Belgium. The Keating’s work with refugees in the local refugee camps. In 2024, First Assembly will further partner with our missionaries to help resource and equip to further the gospel in Brussels and other areas of Belgium.


DORI FRENCH

Convoy of Hope - Women's Empowerment

Help women find new opportunities.

When women participate in the Convoy of Hope Women’s Empowerment program, the cycle of poverty is broken. With your help, Convoy partners with women as they start their own businesses and support their families. Empowering women and girls to advocate for themselves creates opportunities that last for generations.

Joyce Katano

Chi Alpha, Japan


Japan is less than 1% Christian and is the 2nd largest unreached people group in the world. For decades evangelism and missions in this nation have been difficult, but we have found the most open segment of the population to be the university students. So we believe campus ministry is one of the keys for revival in Japan.

Because the city is widening the road outside of our building, they will take part of our Student Center. Thus, we need to locate a new property this year and renovate it so we can have a sanctuary and make it soundproof to have praise and worship in the middle of densely populated Tokyo (Japanese noise laws are very strict). We also need to make a kitchen and dining room large enough to feed students and to make housing for staff/teams. 


WILL JONES

Awakening Ministries International

AMI exists to help reach the lost, develop leaders, and serve as a catalyst to plant churches in unreached places around the world. Will Jones, our Kingdom Builder partner, leads the AMI initiative that has made impacts in West Africa and Latin America.
During Will’s visit we will learn more about how we can resource AMI to help further evangelism and discipleship to
reach the unreached.
