Pastor Johnnie Wilson – Bible Based Community Church Centralia

I’d like to nominate my Pastor Johnnie Wilson for a lot of reasons. He brings God’s word every week. He makes sure he looks out for all his members. If you need help, he will be right there to help. Both him and his wife will be there to help anyone that needs it. He has helped me and my parents out several times. Once my electric went off and he helped me to get it back on, another time my parents needed a vehicle because a tree hit their’s and he found one for them. He always tells you how it is no matter if you want to hear it, and it is always something that you need to hear. He makes sure that you use your gifts that God has given you. Want to say thank you to my Pastor, and his wife. Like we say at church the base is the place.

Steve Linton – The Journey Church

We, as a congregation, want to recognize Pastor Steve Linton for his unwavering dedication and genuine love for all of us. What stands out the most about him is that he never sugar coats anything. He preaches with boldness, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide his words, and stays true to the Bible, even when the truth may be difficult to hear. His goal is always to save souls, not to spare feelings. Pastor Steve’s heart for people is immense. He loves and accepts everyone just as they are, without judgment. His kindness, generosity, and approachability make him truly unique. No matter what he’s doing, Pastor Steve is always willing to listen, even when he was ill, he remained available for his people. He would give the shirt off his back or his last dollar to help someone in need, showing the world what it means to love like Jesus. He is not just a smart and funny man; he is a sincere, God-fearing example of how Christians should live. His love for God shines through in every sermon, and his willingness to answer questions outside of Bible study speaks to his commitment to nurturing our faith. We are so thankful for his leadership and for his example of what it means to love like Christ.

OneChild

You can make a difference around the world!

You can make a difference around the world!

We invite you to sponsor a child through our partnership with OneChild. As a sponsor you’ll be part of a global community of Child Champions, bringing hope to children in some of the world’s hardest places. Your sponsorship will provide holistic care so your sponsored child can overcome barriers and thrive.

OneChild serves more than 40,000 children around the world. They work in many of the hardest places.

Places where others can’t go.
Places where Christians can be persecuted.
Places where gang violence is rampant.
Places where people have been forgotten.
Places where children are suffering.
Places where kids need help the most.

Mid morning show host and host of The Unfolding, Meridith Foster, traveled to Nicaragua with OneChild. She was thrilled to join in on the trip, and was impressed with what she saw, saying:

I had the incredible privilege of visiting One Child’s Hope Centers in Nicaragua. Inside the Hope Centers, I met children bursting with potential – future doctors and nurses, school teachers, CEO’s and presidents.  These beautiful kids are smart, kind, and full of joy.  Because of sponsorship through One Child, they have a chance of becoming all that God intends for them to be. 

Outside the Hope Centers, there are many more children, just as full of potential.  The only thing missing is YOU!  Your sponsorship of One Child, will help a child receive the assistance they need to become all that God has created them to be.  It’s a privilege to get to be a part of these amazing kids’ lives.  You don’t want to miss out on this experience!  Thank you for considering sponsoring a child today.

OneChild brings hope to the children in need through four vital tools: faith, education, health, and relationships. Each child is given a voice and gets to have individualized care in all these areas in order to build up a strong community and Church presence for generations to come.
