updated 6/17/25 "Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. - 2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT" Many issues face our county every day, every year and every moment. For the next month, we will focus our prayers on people groups, ministry groups, economic issues, health issues, crime focus, economic issues and military as these make up San Bernardino County. Prayerlessness | Prayer Podcast How many times in the Bible did a group face what seemed insurmountable challenges yet when they sought the Lord for help and advice, they saw God move in miraculous, protective and successful ways? Our greatest issue facing our County is not the problems themselves, but how we react to them? Shall we give into fear, complaining or adding to the paranoia and hype? OR can we seek the Lord for divine intervention? AND seek to pray with others about the concern? Every time the people of God sought His hand and advice, He gave specific orders.  Sometimes it required fasting, repenting, confessing their sins and turning to God.  Sometimes it required worship, reading the Word and long times of prayer. In every case, it required a reliance on God and not their human understanding or effort to fix it. Please carefully look over the 2025 Homeland Threat Assessment - all possibilities based on their data collection.  These are real concerns that they made known to the public.  We can worry or do what the Bible says, worry about nothing and pray about everything, bring your requests to God with thanksgiving.  Then we can walk in His peace that will guard our hearts and minds.  Just think you can be a HISTORY maker by petitioning God about the threats.  It only took one man to pray for rain that Israel had not seen for awhile.  But how much more when we pray together!

Opioids are a class of drugs that include the illegal drug heroin, synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, and pain relievers available legally by prescription, such as oxycodone (OxyContin), hydrocodone (Vicodin), codeine, morphine, and many others. Half the overdoses are from fentanyl. The appeal is economic. Relatively easy to manufacture and inexpensive.  But it’s poison. It can be diluted and made to mimic pills that people are looking for.

updated 05/19/25 Trona City Web Site Location : It is an unincorporated community off of State Route 395; the community sits at the western edge of Searles Lake which is a dry lakebed in Searles Valley southwest of Death Valley. The community got its name from the mineral trona which is abundant in the lakebed. It's approximately 170 miles from Los Angeles on State Route 178. It is isolated and desolate as well as the nearby trona pinnacles ; the high school football team plays on a dirt field because the searing heat and high saline soil kills grass. Searles Valley is next to it. Demographics ; estimated population [2024] 1,822 Trona; 1698 Searles Valley; 62% Hispanic; 37% white; average family size 3; 36% own; 27% rent; 36% vacant; average home value $80K; $52 average income. Map of Trona Location of Trona in SBC History | Desert News | History Video In the late 1880’s the mining industry set up around the Searles Dry Lake area to mine borax; Trona was officially established in 1913 as a self-contained company town operated by its resident mining company to house employees who were paid in company scrip instead of cash. The company also built a library, a scrip-accepting grocery store, a school, basic housing and minimal recreation facilities. The Trona Railroad was built in 1913-14 to provide the town with rail connection to the Southern Pacific Railroad (now called Union Pacific Railroad) lines at Searles; the railway is still in operation today. Trona’s most notable boom occurred during World War I when Trona was the only reliable American source of potash (an element used in the making of gun powder); Trona also served as a headquarters and base of operations for the Trona Railway which is a short-line railroad. Trona is a seismically active area which was heavily damaged by the 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquake; the community is located in the Eastern California Shear Zone which is a seismically active zone that accommodates approximately 25% of the fault movement between the Pacific and North American Plates. Trona Unified School District operates 2 schools: Trona Elementary and Trona High School. The high school football field is known as “the pit” and has received National attention from the New York Times, Good Morning America and the Los Angeles Times as the only dirt field in the United States. Numerous Hollywood films have been shot in Trona and the surrounding area including Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, and Planet of the Apes; at the start of the 21st Century, other films such as Trona, Just Add Water, and Lost Lake were also shot in or near Trona. A live concert was also held in the Trona Pinnacles by Toro y Moi who traveled to the area to record his concert called Toro y Moi – Live from Trona. The town is, the last stop for supplies before climbing over the Slate Range Pass and dropping into the hostile environment of deep and desolate natural troughs named Panamint, Eureka, Saline and finally Death Valley. In most cases, the turn around the mountain into Trona and Searles Valley is preceded by the pungent smell like rotting eggs from sulfur and other chemicals. Trona sits on the edge of the lake named for John Searles, who established mining around the dry lake in the 1870s. The plant workers unionized long ago and led strikes in 1941 for better housing, wages and an end to racial discrimination. Newsreel footage of the time shows the strike ended July 29, 1941, but ill feelings among townsfolk (some workers crossed the picket line) lasted decades. The workers walked out again in 1970 resulting in the shooting of a striker by a guard. In 1981 another strike led to numerous arson fires in town and death threats against the “upper management” personnel. Molotov cocktails were hurled at the homes of the bosses. "Home of the famous Pit - the only dirt football field in America." Specific Prayer Points Spiritual: intercessors to pray for economic growth, new ideas to draw tourists back, churches to grow, gospel to be preached with boldness, revival to break out; lives transformed, people set free from drugs, Bible studies that help people be accountable, churches offer courses on how to be free from addictions Governed by: San Bernardino County 1st District ; San Bernardino County Special Districts - A Division of the Department of Public Works [County Service Area 82 Searless Valley] Schools: Trona Elementary & High School & Trona Joint Unified School District Points of interest: Trona Pinnacles, Museum in town, Salt Wells Canyon [Poison Canyon]; Indian Joe's canyon; Valley Wells, Great Falls Canyon Environmental: earthquakes [ Earthquake Video & Football ] | 2020 update after earthquake ; The largest earthquake within 30 miles of Trona, CA was a 7.1 Magnitude in 2019.

It is derived from the Guachama dialect and means "wet or marshy land".1 Pah is the Shoshonean term for water, and the Guachama Indians spoke a Serrano dialect of Shoshonean. Yucaipa first became noticed in California history as the site of one of the ranchos or outposts of the San Gabriel Mission. In 1843, Don Diego Sepulveda started to build his adobe home in Yucaipa, thereby starting extensive litigation with Ygnacio Palomares. Up until the time construction began, Palomares believed he could place his cattle in Yucaipa, and had petitioned the local authorities for this right. Unfortunately for him, the Governor of California was related to the Lugos, who owned the Rancho San Bernardino. The Governor, to whom the case was ultimately appealed, decided in favor of Sepulveda and the Lugos. The Sepulveda Adobe has been restored and is under the supervision of the San Bernardino County Museum. A caretaker resides there, and it is open to the public. It is located at the corner of Dunlap and Kentucky and is visible from the freeway. Yucaipa Valley is a mountain-locked mesa, varying in altitude from 2,000 to 3,000 feet.

updated 05/19/25 Pioneer Town City | Visitor Information Location: an unincorporated community of the Morongo Basin region of San Bernardino's High Desert. The historical town was originally incorporated in 1946. It became a part of San Bernardino County in the late 1960s. The winding, 4-mile drive northwest to Pioneertown from Yucca Valley has been designated a California Scenic Drive and the area is now surrounded by privately and federally protected lands.

Map of Pioneer Town Location of Pioneer Town in SBC History In 1946 when Dick Curtis shared his dream for a "Living Breathing Movie Set". Shortly after, 17 investors including Curtis, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, The Sons Of The Pioneers, Russell Hayden, Frank McDonald, Tommy Carr, Terry Frost, and Bud Abbott each invested $500 and incorporated. The company purchased 32,ooo Acres of land which would soon be known as Pioneertown. The goal was to create a place where they could work (and play) with friends, family and co-workers. It became a filming location, vacation destination & permanent residence for people working in the entertainment industry, ranchers and desert lovers alike. Originally, to be called "Rogersville" a member wrote a catchy tune recorded the song the following year. It was that catchy tune which gave birth to the name "Pioneertown". Broke ground in 1946. The San Bernardino County Sun ran a full-page ad on March 25th, 1947 which invited people to invest in Pioneertown along with Dale Evans, Roy Rogers & The Sons Of The Pioneers. The first structures established were fully functional businesses which included White’s Grocery, the Townhouse Motel, the Red Dog Saloon, the Golden Stallion Restaurant, Maggie’s Feed Barn, Nell’s Ice Cream Palace, Pioneertown Likker, the Klip ‘N’ Kurl Beauty Shop, Pioneer Bowl, Trigger Bill’s Shooting Gallery & the Pioneertown Gazette; just to name a few. More than 5o films & serials were filmed in Pioneertown during the 194o's and 195o's. There have been over 2oo productions in town - the total number is unknown as entertainment production records were not as well documented as they are these days. All of the Gene Autry Flying A television productions through the 195o’s were shot here; the Pioneertown Bowling Alley being a favorite filming location of Autry's. Some other local titles were “Cisco Kid”, “The Range Rider”, “Annie Oakley”, “Cody of the Pony Express”, “The Adventures of Judge Roy Bean” and “Buffalo Bill Jr.” As it sits on a movie set; the Pioneertown Post Office is said to be the most photographed PO in the USA! A lack of safe water kept it from growth. As the golden age of western films came to an end, so too did the abundant production work in town. Over the years businesses have dwindled and thrived, back and forth. But the die-hard community has always remained committed to keeping Pioneertown alive. The town is still a fully functioning production set where movies, independent films, music videos and commercials are filmed every month. Nowadays, the town maintains that old charm by keeping up the main street that has all of the buildings on it and running shot em up reenactment groups on specific weekends to harness the style of the town for future generations. “A peaceful hideaway to spend a lazy day out in Pioneertown - Out in Pioneertown by Tim Spencer."

Gold mining operations began shortly after. During the early 1900's, a cement factory was built, which still runs today. As it turned out, the official name of the district was inconsequential, because a new mine was located, called the Oro Grande, whose name eclipsed that of Silver Mountain. The Oro Grande was recorded on August 30, 1880, just a few days after the Oro Fino, located about one-half mile away. These mines were to become two of the biggest producers of the district. Their names translate to the mining terms of "coarse gold" and "fine gold," and the name Oro Grande was so pleasing to the prospectors, and to everyone else for that matter, that it almost immediately supplanted the name of Silver Mountain. The two mines, along with others recently located in the district, became part of the newly-formed Oro Grande Mining Company. By early 1881 there was a bustling little community by the side of the Mojave River , consisting of Ed Johnson's general merchandise store, two butcher shops, a hotel managed by Mrs. Wilson, a lodging house, several small residences, and the mining company's assay office, general office, and mill.
