"The Rural American Church Mission Field" - Helping Country Churches Thrive - Fred Stromberg

In this episode, we’re joined by Fred Stromberg who currently serves as Pastor at Azalea Community Church in Azelea, Oregon.  So far throughout their journey in vocational missions, Fred and his wife Cindy have served as missionaries in Honduras, church planters in the Western United States, youth and family ministries on the east coast, and presently serve in their role in Oregon through their relationship with Village Missions.  Village Missions exists to glorify Jesus Christ by developing spiritually vital country churches in rural North America by placing pastors in small town and rural churches that might otherwise have to close.  In doing so, Fred and his ministry partners have had a hand in preserving the Gospel presence in over 220 communities across the United States and Canada.

Listen to this Special Episode that was recorded from the Alumni Town Hall and Member Board meeting held at Springs of Life Camp on September 15, 2023.

We began our time together by worshipping the Lord together in song, in the Word, and by praising Him through a special moment of testimony.  This devotional was led by Pastor Neil Wood, former Camp Pastor for Changing for Christ Camp week and our honorary Board President.

Listen to Pastor Neil and Lynn Wood on a previous episode and find Pastor Tony Hart online by Facebook Live from Snowville Baptist Church.

Join Amanda and Chris as they introduce Season 6: The Spiritual Warfare Series. 

Spiritual Warfare is something we each encounter every day.  While it doesn't manifest the same way in every ones life, it has the real and common goal to distract us from God's Reality and sovereign plan: that all things work together for His glory and our good.

We look forward to how the Lord leads in this series and the conversations we look forward to having.  Listen in and stay tuned…

Welcome to the Titans of Ministry series where we sit down with some of the most influential leaders in the Church who were crucial in developing the men and women we became.  Most of us remember significant moments over our own lives that shaped who we are, but rarely do we pause to think about the experiences in someone else’s life that fueled their own passion to pour themselves into our own life.

With more than 77 years of experience living in a fallen world, Professor Steve Green was raised by renowned Bible educators Dr. and Mrs. Green on a firm foundation of love, adoration, and an utmost regard for God and His creation. Having a passion, seasonally mis-understood across various circles, the honorary Dr. Green has served the Church under many roles on this side of heaven.

Be it from a classroom, an office, a racetrack, or the surf, we trust that you’ll enjoy this multi-part series where we sit down with Professor Green to reflect on some of his own perspective of Christ-following against all earthly odds.  While every season brings change, it’s undeniable that Steve Green lived in each one with intentionality.
