Send Network church plant meets needs in aftermath of L.A. fires

PASADENA, Calif. – When Trenton Mueller moved from Tennessee to Southern California to begin the church planting process, he never would have imagined his journey would intersect with one of the greatest tragedies Los Angeles would ever face.

Mueller was attending his grandmother’s birthday celebration in Albuquerque when fire evacuation notices started going out in L.A. Then, he received word that key members of his new church plant, Christopher and Lauren Fordinal, lost their home to the flames.
