Day: June 14, 2016

In Promiseland on Sunday, the kids made 200 hygiene kits for the refugees that are stranded in Los Chiles, Costa Rica. The kids packed the bags with a washcloth, soap, toothbrush and toothpaste. They also put in cards that said “Know that you are loved!” on the front. Each card was also personalized by the kids with a note or coloring. Thank you to all the kids and volunteers that helped spread the love of Jesus Christ with this meaningful project for people in need.

We welcome home three returning mission teams today and celebrate their service: The Rebuilding Hope team led by Steve Schaal worked on building accessibility ramps, installing water lines and plumbing fixtures, and painting in Dalton, GA.  The Impact Singers served and sang their way to Key West and back at places like senior centers, botanical gardens and a wildlife refuge.  Locally, Student Ministry served at South Street all week by providing day camp and working on projects around that community.  Yesterday, our first Costa Rica team left for Agua Viva Serves.  They are led by Kent Akins, and will work to provide clean water and build relationships through offering VBS in Los Chiles this week.  Please keep them in your prayers.  Our church is practicing being the hands and feet of Jesus this summer all over the world!
