Acts 3:17-26 ESV

“And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18 But what God foretold by

the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled. 19 Repent therefore, and turn

back, that your sins may be blotted out, 20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, 21 whom heaven must receive until the time for

restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago. 22 Moses said,

‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever

he tells you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the

people.’ 24 And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also

proclaimed these days. 25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your

fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’ 26 God, having

raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.”

Forest View Ministry Testimony | Itasca

December 12, 2025
The Orchard Itasca shared the following testimony about how they are ministering at Forest View Nursing Home. A man named Christian is a resident at the Forest View Nursing Home where our people go to minister quarterly. He likely has some form of Parkinson’s Disease and because of this has lost most of the function in his hands and feet. Some of our people have visited with Christian on previous trips. At our July visit, a couple from our church Mike and Deb Marunde went to his room. Since it had been a few months since our last visit, they didn’t think he would remember them. However, when they introduced themselves, Christian looked up and said “Mike!” He remembered! He looked at Mike and said, “I miss you.”

David Althoff Testimony | Barrington

September 5, 2025
David Althoff from The Orchard Barrington shared the following testimony about how he has seen God work in his life at his baptism. For most of my life, I carried the weight of the world on my shoulders. I believed in Jesus, but only in an intellectual way, shaped more by church tradition than by a personal relationship with Him. I thought my success, security, and happiness depended entirely on my own efforts. I worked tirelessly to provide for my family, to control outcomes, and to fix every challenge that came my way. Sin wasn’t something I thought about because I measured life by my own standards, not God’s.

Ninhursag Avakian from The Orchard North Shore shared the following testimony about how she has seen God work in her life by calling her to serve. I serve with the middle school girls and the young adults both at the North Shore campus and at the all church gatherings. I have been so blessed to be serving in all three ministries and have been able to grow in each role. With the middle school girls, I have been blessed to see a student give her life to the Lord and get the honor of walking alongside her in her journey with Christ as her leader.
