“We’ve been able to sell it out of here better than we have hoped,” Jenifer Marshall said. “That for us has been pretty amazing.”

For the Blossom Days Festival on March 3, the Sanger Chamber plans to announce the first-
members.
How is this possible? The book of Acts gives
us the answer. Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; you will be my witnesses both in Jerusalem (Sanger) and in all Judah (California) and Samaria (United States), indeed to the ends of the earth!”
This is all possible by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is not something we are doing for God. It is
Word of mouth remains effective, but a main avenue for consumers is social media. Jennifer Marshall frequently posts to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, promoting events and their diversity of wines.
However, the popularity wouldn’t be possible without the people that visit them, many of which hail from the Sanger community. Both Josh and Jenifer are Sanger High graduates, and their three children attend local
the continuance of Jesus’ ministry in and out of those who are yielded to God. This is not something we dreamed up. It is something the Holy Spirit inspired and is leading us to do.
It is an awesome thing to be able to set up a camera in our sanctuary, feed it through the wi-fi network and then send that signal to six different places at the same time LIVE — our website and all five major social media networks.

We are part of that. Are you? We call ourselves evangelicals. Let’s not just call ourselves evangelicals, let’s be evangelicals who care whether lost souls go to heaven or hell.
The technology we have today was not given to us so the world can produce a

When the Marshalls opened the room behind their house in November of 2016, it was game-changing.
The location offers customers a relaxing venue on the weekends, where they can sip on a variety of wine while gazing out

What would Jesus do to reach the lost masses? It is my conviction that this is a part of that. A big part of it. Especially for those of us who are new to this.

Loads of people indulge in the Marshalls’ wine and attend their several events throughout the year. That’s what is most gratifying to the owners. Well, that and the more than 300 cases of wine they produced in the past year.
And as long as locals continue to visit them and purchase their wine, the Marshalls will continue to expand the business, one bottle at a time.
