In our Spring Newsletter we prayerfully launched “Sponsor A Future Leader.” The long-term goal is to support 150 students who will be equipped to one day serve the Church in places like Vietnam, Cuba and Lebanon. With gratitude to God we are pleased to announce we have reached our short term goal of 50 students (some of whom are pictured below). “Thank You!” to all who have made this possible! We wanted to introduce you to some of these students!
