“Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
Jeremiah 29:7
From Easter Sunday, 2025, to Pentecost Sunday, 2025, our church gathered to pray together each morning and evening for 50 consecutive days. Like the first disciples who gathered to pray, we gathered to seek the Lord and his will for our lives.
God heard our prayers and used our prayers in amazing ways. During this time, our church also discerned a call to support those who need housing in our city.
As a result, Primera decided to partner with Creekside Village and will work to raise $30,000 by December 31, 2026 to purchase a tiny house at Creekside Village.
UPDATE: We are grateful to share that, as of June 2026, we have reached our fundraising goal and raised the full amount needed to purchase this tiny home! Thank you for your generous support and for helping make this possible. We give thanks to God for your generosity and for the opportunity to be part of this work together.
