Missionary Spotlight

August 2025: Grant Rost - Athletes in Action

Praise: Scarlett Mae Rost was born to Grant and Liza on May 31st, making them a family of 5! She has a full head of dark hair and bright blue eyes, and her 2 brothers love to smother her with kisses. (Pictures in the newsletter on the mission table)

Prayer request: they have been praying for wisdom and direction when it comes to Liza’s future career and growing desire to be more present at home and available for ministry work. In trusting the Lord to provide direction and the path forward, they have embarked on a journey to double their current support goal in hopes of this becoming a reality. Please see their most recent newsletter on the mission table for contact information if you would like to help.

Also, recently they had an Ultimate Training Camp for the athletes they are ministering to and growing in Christ. See the newsletter on the mission table for testimonials from a few of the athletes who attended the camp.
