Fresno, California - 2021

Located on the outskirts of Yosemite National Park and minutes away from the famous Sequoia trees, Fresno is a thriving metro-city with a large multicultural population. Based in the heart of central California, agricultural and industry play a large part in the economy and make it an exciting place to live. With a metro population of over 1 million people, the opportunity for revival and harvest is great. Come partner with Bro. Sones, former missionary to Spain, to share the gospel across cultures and impact a city for the kingdom!

Testimonials

AYC Montana renewed my passion for being used in the Kingdom as I was able to serve and enjoy the presence of God. I’m so thankful I was able to feel God’s presence impact and refresh me in a way I haven’t felt in a long time.
