The past seven days the compassion and justice ministries of Our Saviour's have held the pedal to the metal; speeding ahead to develop strong missions in line with Vision 2012.
- Monday - The golf outing with close to 100 participants grossed an estimated $15,000
(and some have suggested that number could go even higher) for local
and global missions.
- Tuesday - With the communication team working hard to get everything done by the first week of June, TheAfricaSummit.org website successfully launched on Tuesday ready to receive conference attendees looking to take their first step into Africa ministries.
- Wednesday - The Africa Summit conference team met; continuing to firm up plans for the upcoming summit.
- Thursday - Thursday I was able to sit down with Bohdan Hrobon from the Center for Christian Education and dream about how Our Saviour's and the school will walk side by side in mission; helping to develop Christian leaders to lead in post communism Slovakia.
- Friday and Saturday, despite the economic challenges that face our community, the Garage Sale with over 265 volunteers working over 2100 hours grossed over $32,000 beating last years record and gave away over $7000 worth of items to people in need.
- Sunday - The Africa Team with the help of 100's of volunteers. Transformed 8,000 pieces of clothes and baby essentials into 420 layettes that will be shipped around the world to under-resourced pregnant women. For the women to receive all the contents of the layette, they must return to the health center for their well baby visit.
To quote one of my favorite pastors Bill Hybels, "Only God!" Only God could stir the hearts of so many people to serve and respond!
What a fantastic week! Who can imagine how far the love shared will travel?! Thanks! Jan Dusek
