My wife, Ansley, and I (Derek) attend FirstRock Church<\/a> here in Greenville, South Carolina. Ansley and I are both 25 years old and we lead the young professionals group here at FirstRock. The church is a great community with a number of families, teens, seniors and married couples. However, there is still one big area of need for our church, and that is for young professionals. Currently, our YoPro community is made up of only five disciples. Over the past few months, we have been studying out the harvest and sharing our faith. It is our desire for our YoPro ministry and the FirstRock church to grow in the form of excited and willing workers for the harvest field here in Greenville, South Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greenville is an amazing place to live. It has great hiking and outdoor activities and there\u2019s always something happening downtown. We\u2019ve also seen the beauty of being in a small church in the deep relationships we\u2019ve built here. We both have grown and matured immensely as disciples since living and serving in this community. If you are the type of person who wants to invest in a community and see it grow, please message us and reach out! We know that there are disciples ready and willing to help us grow this ministry and we have been praying for your arrival. God will bless and guide all of the work ahead and we can\u2019t wait to get started, so please email us at derekjamesmatthews@gmail.com<\/a> or ansleydykes@yahoo.com<\/a> if you are interested!<\/p>\n\n\n

If moving and helping is not a possibility for you, please keep us in your prayers. Pray for Ansley and I and the rest of the YoPros to find open hearts and future disciples in our day-to-day lives here in Greenville. Pray for God to send us more workers to help us as we continue to seek and save the lost. And pray for FirstRock to grow abundantly and overwhelmingly more than we could ever fathom or imagine. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers and God bless you always!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then he said to his disciples, \u201cThe harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field<\/em>.\u201d \u2013 Matthew 9:37-38<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us\u2014whatever we ask\u2014we know that we have what we asked of him. <\/em> \u2013 1 John 5:14\u201315  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
