We are making disciples who make disciples. |

Missions Rock! Sunday - April 28
Here are updates from the three missions we work with. Thank you for making a difference to His House Campus Ministry, Great Lakes Christian College, and Rock Lake Christian Assembly, and all of the people they influence for the cause of Christ.
His House Christian Fellowship (www.hhcf.org): In their spring newsletter, Julia Gabrysh, Associate Campus Minister at U of M, shared how God has been changing hearts through their dining room table ministry at the U of M campus house. For example, at one of their Sunday Bible-Potlucks, Julia asked the group of students, “What has God taught you this past year around this table?” One of the guys said, “At this table, I learned what it means to be a Christian.” He had previously identified as a Buddhist, but during one of his first meals, he said, “There’s something so different about this community…you all have a joy that can’t be taken away from you.” After a month of exploring who Jesus is for himself and hearing the Gospel, he knew that he wanted to follow Jesus too. He now was sitting at the table feeling the same joy from Jesus for himself. Through their hospitality, His House offers a place where Jesus can sit with students.

Great Lakes Christian College (www.glcc.edu): In their thank-you letter to our church for our recent financial contribution, GLCC Vice-President of Institutional Advancement, Phil Beavers, writes: We continue to do what we are doing today because we know that we have opportunity to change lives. One alumni said, “GLCC helped to mold me and strengthen me as a Christian. GLCC was my foundation through personal and educational growth.” Thank you for partnering with us in changing the lives of the next generation of Christian leaders.
