CHRISTMAS gifts

High school students raised $474 and are sending a dairy cow to a family in need.

This gift will change a family's life and generations to come. Amazing

Between the Christmas Scavenger Hunt and matrifold's fundraising efforts, in total we donated $769.40 worth of life-giving animals to families in need this Christmas.

SUMMER MISSION
 
 
Can't say thank you enough for a job well done. Amanda and the Potter's Wheel, Donna and Angie at Ark, the Evansville Rescue Mission, St. Mary's, Kim and all the staff at Lincoln took the time to open our eyes and make this mission possible.

Our students did an AMAZING job serving joyfully and indiscriminately.

Thanks to Linda Murphy, Mike and Carol Fehr, our bodyguards Greg, Mike, and Mike.

And my sincere admiration and thanks to our team, who prayerfully and passionately began the journey many months ago and gave much for the goal of helping students understand Jesus' heart for the poor: Lisa and Larry, PDave, and Kelsey. You guys are amazing!

 
 
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, 
because he has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to release the oppressed
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” 
Luke 4:18-19
