NEWS & EVENTS

We hope you will consider making Jesus the center of your Christmas Celebration by participating in our Christmas Gift for Jesus offering. This year’s offering will go to support Compassion Network, American Educational Development in Sri Lanka, Real Options Clinic, and Iglesias del Oeste. You can learn more about each ministry below:

Compassion Network’s specialty is connecting volunteers and resources from 50+ local congregations with needs in the community. They depend on their network of willing volunteers to provide free services for over 29,000 requests a year. www.compassionnetwork.org

 
American Educational Development – Tim and Vanessa Ekno

Tim and Vanessa Ekno have a heart for serving people with leprosy in Sri Lanka. Without access to clean water and a reliable source of food, those with leprosy have great difficulty surviving. This year’s offering will help provide for the basic necessities of life by digging them a well for clean water and helping them plant a garden for food. Each livelihood project costs $1,500 and helps provide necessities for many, many years to come. Your generosity opens the door for an introduction to Jesus and how much He loves even those that society casts out. www.americaned.net.

They are dedicated to the highest standard of medical care in a comforting, supportive, Christ-centered atmosphere. Thousands of women, men, students, and children rely on them each year.
