A year and a half ago was the lowest point in my life, marked by severe depression and anxiety. I felt more lost than I ever had. Around that time, by God’s grace, my husband and I stumbled across an MBC sermon on YouTube with the most simple but impactful message - God meets you and loves you where you are.
This incredibly simple statement was truly eye-opening for someone who hadn’t really heard it before. God could love me despite my mess, and Jesus really did want a personal relationship with me. Since coming to Jesus last year, my life truly has changed forever. My anxiety and depression no longer rule my life, and I no longer question my identity. I am God’s daughter.

I would not have made it through the last four years without the Rock and my freshman girls small group. Mom passed away on March 9th, 2023, spring of my seventh grade year. I was in the wake of the worst possible thing I could imagine happening, yet God met me. When I was spiritually weak, God was strong. God met me through the Rock camp messages, the small groups, and even my own quiet time.

At our Rock High School Summer Camp, we had 27 boys from MoCo huddling up in small groups in one large room. I walked in to observe one night and saw all our guys sitting in rows, clapping for one of our high school guys who was standing at the front. I realized that he must have shared something vulnerable with the guys. What happened after that was pretty amazing - guy after guy went up and began to share openly and vulnerably with everyone. Some confessed sin, others confessed deep pain from their past/present that they were struggling with, and others shared testimonies of God's deliverance and grace in their lives.
After each guy shared, their respective cabin leader prayed for them along with all the other guys in the room. I noticed quickly that there was a tangible shift in the atmosphere of the room. God's presence was tangibly there and was meeting our high school guys through their vulnerability. I saw firsthand how vulnerability is the gateway to intimacy with God and with one another. I felt faith rise up in the room as we closed out in prayer and heard the voices of high school boys agreeing as we prayed, which is something that hadn't happened before. The impact of that night has carried over into deeper conversation and more vulnerability throughout this school year at our Rock Mid-week gatherings. This all started with one high school guy sharing vulnerably about his struggles as prompted by the Holy Spirit. The result was freedom for many!

BAPTISMS

Baptisms across locations
I came to know Christ through the supportive community at Mclean Bible/Young Adult Ministry. The community here has singlehandedly saved my life...God has given me so much peace! The enemy wants us more than anything to follow the status quo of superficial faith, I want to get baptized as a declaration of the love I have for God. The joy and peace that he has given me is something that the world never provided.

Countries/regions impacted because of MBC workers, partner work
Pastoral Training happened in...
- Central Asia (pastoral interns)
- Pakistan (pastoral equipping resources)
- Arabian Peninsula (20+ pastors trained at equipping conference)
- Kenya (50 pastoral residents trained in yearlong program)
- South Asia (40 pastoral residents trained in two-yearlong program)
- Middle East (in four countries, 25+ women trained in biblical teaching)
This internship program has changed my view of ecclesiology and missions. The preaching of the word and biblical books on ecclesiology have helped me to see God’s plan for His church. This program also helped me to be discipled by other brothers in the church and at the same time to have good fellowship and healthy relationships with brethren in the church. Now I am convinced that the mission of the church is to make and mature the disciples of Jesus Christ by planting churches that then plant other churches. I am hoping to learn more about God and His church and prepare myself for the church planting ministry here.

He came into foster care when he was 12 and has been in residential facilities for six years. He does not have a single person in his support system who wants to be there and isn't paid to be there and he has started losing hope. He has started to hang out with bad influences, experimenting with drugs and alcohol and had his first run in with the police. In a letter to his social worker where he was asked to share about his future goals he said "Why even try, no one loves me, no one will ever love me, I might as well be in jail or homeless." The week after David Platt’s sermon (on foster care), his housing situation unexpectedly ended and we were given two hours to find a place for him to stay temporarily to give the social workers time to find a more permanent solution.
One MBC family immediately agreed. Two hours later he was at their home. Their small group and church pastors provided wrap-around support with check-ins, meals and all showed up to play soccer. Four days later I was with him and out of nowhere he asked me if I could help him get back into high school so that he could become a mechanic. He also asked if he could go to church. He started his first day of his senior year of high school today. More importantly, because of your sermon and because of the MBC family, he has hope. And he knows he is loved, by the MBC family and by God.
FOSTER CARE OUTREACH
- More than 1,500 people responded to David Platt’s sermon on supporting foster care, and approximately 200 have attended an interest meeting in person.
