A Special Offering for The Rock Church in Terrace BC

To support a faithful church

Dear Oceanside family,

Last Sunday morning we had the opportunity to pray for an amazing church in Terrace, BC.

The Rock Church will soon be celebrating their 40th anniversary, but over the last six months some circumstances have changed which impacts their building lease due to a financial shortfall. In response we not only want to pray for God’s hand to move, but also directly for our hands to respond with financial provision from our congregation to theirs.

During the month of October we are asking everyone who calls Oceanside Church home to pray into this opportunity to give from Nanaimo to Terrace using our Apostolic Fund.

Through our prayers and our special offering, we hope to:

  1. Support the church through a financially difficult season.
  2. Provide flights and moving funds for the new family coming to lead the church.
  3. To enable their continued ministry into the surrounding region

The Rock Church in Terrace is a partner church in our NCMI family. Mike and Moe Rosenau have led it since its beginning, and in April the church celebrates 40 years. Over that time The Rock has planted churches in Stewart and in other First Nations communities across northern BC. They are a significant lampstand in that region.

Additionally this is a special season in their church because they are in the midst of a leadership transition. Mike and Moe will soon pass the baton of their leadership to Dustin and Sarah Fergusson, a family who have already handed over their own church in South Africa.

How to give:

  • Gifts made to the “Apostolic Fund” October & November will go to The Rock.
  • Give online at https://oceanside.churchcenter.com/giving/to/apostolic
  • e-transfer to give@oceansidechurch.ca and note “Apostolic Fund” (please also include your name, phone and email if it is your first time giving in this way)

We are asking you to pray about what you could set aside, whatever the amount, to bless people you may never meet, in a town you may never visit, but who are brothers and sisters in Christ.

How to pray:

  1. That God would provide a solution for their Sunday meeting space
  2. That Dustin and Sarah would be able to come, financially secure
  3. That God would encourange the people in the church

We are a blessed people, and God has blessed us richly. Let's use that blessing to bless others.

Thank you for your generosity and your prayers for The Rock Church.
