Spanish Springs Missions

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’” –Romans 10:14–15

Living Stones Sparks Church is engaged in missions locally and globally.  While we are a community seeking a fundamental shift in the spiritual climate of Northern Nevada, we are also a part of the bigger story that is God's plan to bring redemption to all peoples.  As members of Living Stones Sparks, we are inviting outsiders to become insiders, disciples to make disciples, unified in diversity, in the city for the city, and a church planting churches.  These identifying values drive us to go out into the world to tell the good news and dignify others that were created in His image.

Guatemala

In the fall of 2022, LS Sparks sent a team of 8 people to travel to Antigua, Guatemala and surrounding areas on behalf of Sparks, Nevada - and ultimately Jesus Christ. The goal was to serve the people in the areas of education, repair, and health while showing dignity and sharing the gospel.  This ranges from building a small home to training in basic first aid.  It was not just another short term trip, it was the first in what is being envisioned as a long and active relationship between Guatemala and Sparks!
Did you know that our member, Angela has been living in Guatemala since 2017?  Check out Holistic Hope here. Did you know that more half of all people in Guatemala live in extreme poverty, and the poverty rate rises to nearly 80 percent for indigenous people, who make up more than 40 percent of the country's population?  Did you know that there are people in Guatemala who have not heard the Gospel?
We are dedicated to a relationship with Guatemala that is sustainable, scalable, and responsible.  For more information on the plans for the mission to Guatemala, please read this article.
There will be more opportunities to serve Guatemala soon!
For any questions about the trip, or our relationship with Guatemala in general, or ways to get involved, please email sean@lschurches.com

Ireland

It's hard to believe that the Republic of Ireland is the reached by the Gospel less than any other English speaking country in the world.  In response to this, LS Sparks is engaged in church planting in Ireland right now!

Not only are we assisting financially, but also through resources, shepherding, and of course prayer.

Freedom in Faith

Freedom in Faith is a local ministry committed to bringing hope and transformation to inmates in our city. Through community groups, spiritual discipleship classes, and the gift of Bibles, they offer encouragement and faith to those seeking a fresh start behind bars.

Foster The City

There are more children entering into foster care than there are foster families ready to open their hearts and homes.

Every day, in our cities, children are being removed from their biological families due to allegations of abuse or neglect. In addition to this harsh reality, many of these kids are shuffled around and displaced from their communities due to a shortage of loving and supported foster homes.

We believe that the church is uniquely positioned and called to answer this need. Together, we’re working towards a day when there will be a waiting list of families, rather than a waiting list of children in need of a home.

Scarlet Hope

Share Hope + Bring Love
A gospel response to exploited and trafficked women.

Our model of outreach stems from The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) when Jesus told his disciples to GO. We cannot wait for the lost to come into the doors of our churches, we must go to them, in their own environment, and share the hope and love of Jesus. Our efforts to engage women in the adult entertainment industry looks a little different in each city, but these are all of the ways God has allowed us to reach women across the nation with His love!

Holistic Hope/Esperanza Integral

Holistic Hope is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities throughout Guatemala. We do this by providing tools and resources that encourage people to learn, grow, and develop full and healthy lives. Our work is rooted in sharing the love of JESUS in all we do.
