Missions Rock! Sunday - July 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): At Northwestern Michigan College, Campus Minister Patrick Hill shared that students at the NMC His House are experiencing what it really means to have community and to know God. Through a weekly rhythm known as “checking in,” students have deepened their relationships with each other and begun praying together. Many have also decided to check in daily with a partner for prayer and accountability. Through their small groups and through another rhythm called “listening,” students have been experiencing God by recognizing his leading and his love for their lives.

Great Lakes Christian College (www.glcc.edu): The college is hosting a “BOOST” conference in July for ministers to encourage those who have committed their lives to ministry in the local church. This retreat is a restful, safe, and inspirational three days of learning, sharing ideas, and the afternoons offer free-time for golf, fishing, disc golf, swimming in Nugents’ pool, and axe throwing. Additionally, the college is hosting its annual Crusaders Golf Classic on August 10 to raise funds for the sports program. This event will connect you with the GLCC mission and the mission of the Athletic Department. It will be featuring the Athletic Department, players and coaches. Go to their website to sign up your team.
