The chorus of an old hymn goes, "Count your many blessings. Name them one by one, and you'll be
surprised at what the Lord has done." This is certainly true at Desert Streams Church. God has been
moving in our congregation and in our lives in truly wonderful ways.
The Lord has blessed us with 8 acres of land at the fantastic location of Reems Rd and Hearn Rd.
We purchased this land for the unbelievable price of $496,000.00! True, we do have the awesome
task of paying for the land, but already we have received $40,000.00 from the West Valley Lutheran
Thrift Store and additional funds from from individual mission partners that is designated for the land.
Currently the amount owed on the land is a little over $450,000. A Building Fund has been set up so
that you can contribute to the land if you are so led.
Five people have contributed a total of $900.00 towards Desert Streams' Baptismal Font. The font will
partially be built from stone found on the land. Though it will be a while before we can actually build
the font, this gift demonstrates the support people have for our emerging congregation.
All who are interested in this exciting venture of faith are invited to prayerfully consider supporting
Desert Streams Church financially. Choose an item that you wish to purchase or give funds towards

The pastors of American Lutheran Church in Sun City and Peace Lutheran Church in Peoria have
informed Desert Streams Church that the congregation will receive a mission partner gift of $100.000.
This gift is part of the Mission Emphasis Program of the two congregations.
Certainly this gift is part of an answer to prayer to pay down the $450,000 that is still owed on the future
building site at the intersection of Reems and Hearn. Some of these funds can also be used in
ministries to reach out to the community and grow as a congregation.
People associated with Desert Streams are asked to prayerfully consider how God might be leading
Desert Streams to use this money in ministry. They are asked to share their thoughts and ideas with
Pastor Kevin and Faye, or members of the Leadership and Organizational Teams. Together we will
discern God's will and use this money to impact lives with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
