HAITI CHILDREN PROJECT ORPHANAGE UPDATE
After 32 months of construction, dozens of teams, hundreds of missioners, and countless donations, the building is not only done, it is occupied! On Friday, July 16th the first 29 kids moved into the new building. A team from Mt. Horeb helped make the transition for the kids a great one with lots of love, crafts, and VBS! They enjoyed "real" beds and many took a shower for the first time in their lives. Thanks to every one of you! Help is needed with school fees. It costs $240 per child per year for books, tuition, and uniforms. If you can help with one child or if 10 persons give $24 it will bring us closer to having them all in school. You can also help sponsor a child for $29 per month by going to their website at www.haitichildrenproject.org/donation

CHRIST CARING FOR PEOPLE THROUGH PEOPLE
That's the motto of Stephen Ministry. The Stephen Minister's role is to bring God's love into the lives of people who are going through a difficult time or are experiencing a crisis. What do Stephen Ministers do? They listen to you, care for you, support and encourage you, and pray with and for you. And in the midst of this confidential, one-to-one, caring relationship, God's healing love comes pouring through. If you, or someone you know, is facing a crisis - large or small - and could benefit from the caring presence of a Stephen Minister, talk to one of our Stephen Leaders: Gary Goodman at 600-7739 or Valli Johnson at 261-7212. Our Stephen Ministers are ready to care for you!
