🎉 CELEBRATING a life empowered by HOPE in a saving relationship with Jesus Christ! This past Sunday, we celebrated Yariel Gordon’s baptism with the Steamtown Church family where he went public share about his story and faith in Jesus.

🧡 LIFE CHANGE COMMUNITY
Gordon was baptized by teammate, Josh Kiswani, who has been part of Gordon’s life since the kids program and has been a mentor to Gordon over the years. Gordon was surrounded by family, friends, and the Mission Scranton and Steamtown Church family.

🙌 LIFE CHANGE
Gordon learned he was sinner, trying to work through struggles and shame on his own, but then learned about forgiveness by grace through faith in Jesus. Gordon said, “I would constantly try to better myself by doing things myself. But I learned in Ephesians 2:8. “For you by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not in your doing; it is the gift of God.””

Gordon said, “God has changed my life in so many ways with the people that l’ve met, and the relationships I’ve developed with them.”

🔥Teen Night Student Program started this fall with a fun outdoor hangout, campfire, and life goal discussions and challenges. Shoutout to the Tierney’s for hosting our crew!

An unplanned theme of conversations with some teens that night was around peace. As we enjoyed the outdoors, campfire, and stars they commented about the peace of being out there. And as we talked about life goals, some paired their goals with finding peace and a good life. Then in small group discussions we had some discussions about the influences, distractions, and addictions that direct to a short-term sense of peace and happiness but long-term destruction and pain. Many see that Jesus is that pathway to true life and peace and we talked about the barriers that hold them back to living His way.

🚀 School Year Student Programs Underway!

🌇 This week, we ran our first kids night program at Steamtown Church that combined both the Valley View and Hilltop neighborhood kid!

💪 We kick-started our junior leadership program again with teen students from both neighborhoods help serve while getting coached. It’s encouraging for our team to watch our students grow and then come back to serve at the kids night.

🙏 Keep our team and students in prayer this season! Excited to see what God will do!

Pushing back the dark with the light!

THANK YOU everyone who was part of Mission Scranton's Annual Adult Banquet 2026! It was an incredible night of encouragement, good food, storytelling, celebrating God at work, and building momentum for our ministry.

It was a night that encouraged and inspired through storytelling of the ministry, student lives, and the story of Jesus. Aaron House with Piercing Word ministries told the story of Jesus through a one-man dramatic performance of the Gospel of Mark.

Many responded through generous giving, connecting, and on-going conversations on how to be part of what God is doing in Scranton! THANK YOU!

A special thanks to our event sponsors; Grimm Construction, Angel’s Title and Tag, and Captain & Commander. Also a special thanks to our table sponsors!

🗓️ Save the date for next year, September 24, 2027!

This is a photo of a student after he decided to trust Jesus with his life at summer camp… God’s story in Scranton, neighborhoods, and our students lives is a joy to be part of. Years of our teammates faithfully going into the neighborhoods, giving and serving, sharing life, sharing Christ, and growing together.

Then we have moments like this summer where one student came back from camp saying things like, “I came back a different person than when I left… I learned that my life belongs to Him (God).” And the joy moments of seeing many students share with their parents that they trusted Jesus to be their Lord and Savior.

God is working! And he has used so many of you to be part of His story in our students & parents lives.

We are excited to share stories of what God is doing and for you to hear from our students at our Mission Scranton's Annual Adult Banquet 2026! Let's see what God will do as we celebrate God-wins and invest in our upcoming 2027 ministry year!
