In this issue:
As this newsletter is being sent out, our team in Hungary is getting some rest at the end of our first day of the Budapest Summit. For me, this has been a first introduction to a ministry with which The Springs has been connected to for 30 years. It is incredible to see what God has brought about here in that time, and humbling to realize what can happen by simply responding to the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
As we continue through this week, please keep us in prayer as we meet with and encourage the Budapest City Team and others doing mission work here. Pray that we may build up those doing the work of the Gospel here, and that our own hearts may be kindled to serve with a greater joy in the cities God has placed us.
With peace in Christ,
Pastor Rob
Pastoral Care Team || 4/23/26 - 5/4/26
April 23rd - 27th, 9 individuals from The Springs (Zach and Kristy Grell, Donnae Grimm, Lauren Sayler, Rob Keeney, Sara Iverson, Bev Dirksen, Ken and Tracy Coleman) will attend a Missions Summit in Budapest, Hungary. Prayers are greatly appreciated for safe travel, learning from and encouraging local missionaries. On April 27th, Zach and Kristy Grell and Ken and Tracy Coleman will travel to the country where the “A-Family” lives. They will spend time leading a retreat for the A-family and their co-workers. Prayers are also appreciated for this time and that it will be a great refreshment to all who attend. *If you would like to give towards the Pastoral Care Team specifically, you can do so by contacting the church office (office@thesprings.church) or by mailing a check directly to The Springs (note: Pastoral Care Team). If anyone would like more details on the A-family and the Pastoral Care team, please contact Tracy Coleman at 417-894-5233.

It's graduation season, and on Sunday, May 3rd we are looking forward to recognizing our amazing 2026 High School graduates from The Springs! We will take a few moments in both services to recognize & pray, and there will also be a "meet & greet" time from 10:10 - 10:30 AM in the lobby to allow for the church to say hello and offer them congratulations!
