Project A 1:8 Banquet Highlights
November 11, 2011The stats in brief…
200+ adults in attendance
73 boxes packed for Operation Christmas Child (our goal was 50)
33 people interested in Mission America: Northern Indiana
Our third annual Project A 1:8 missions banquet was a huge success! Among the missions highlights celebrated this year were two disaster relief trips to Alabama, money donated to earthquake and tsunami relief in Japan, a mission trip to Ukraine, and our continued support of ministries in Uganda and at home. This year’s theme was The Power of One: one dream, one decision, one life, one moment… People in attendance were challenged to make their lives count and live like the Good Samaritan by refusing to do nothing. Three members of Teen Challenge, a Christian discipleship program for men suffering from life-controlling addictions, spoke about Teen Challenge had changed their lives – one at a time. Watch the video below to see Alabama missionaries discuss how the Alabama trip changed their lives.
A missions opportunity that will be available this summer is Mission America: Northern Indiana, in which each Heartland campus will set aside a week in the month of June to be a blessing to its community by serving people and meeting needs in the city. The cost will be approximately $200 per person. Look for more information in here and at your campus, and pray about whether God is calling you to be a part of Mission America.
