On the weekend of March 13th, 10 students and 4 leaders headed to Spring Hill Camp in Evart, Michigan for the middle school winter retreat. We had a great time together creating memories that will last a lifetime. We worshiped together, grew more in our faith, and formed some great community within the group. Students had a blast doing adventure activities, playing in a 3 on 3 tournament, as well as tubing down a huge snow hill. We celebrate and thank everyone
for the prayers and financial contributions that provide great opportunities for our middle school students to grow in Christ here at EGM.
We are blessed beyond measure to spend ten short days in Mexico. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again for your prayers, for your financial support, and for caring for us and what God is doing through us. There were two verses that really encouraged us through the week. The first is from Psalm 24:1 "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein." And the second is from Isaiah 6:3, "And one called to another and said, 'Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory."..
.We saw children who would otherwise be on the streets who instead have been given a chance to grow, learn, and praise the God who created them.
The service project crew returned tired but encouraged last week after 10 days at Colima and Esperanza, Mexico. They completed the brick wall in Esperanza and began laying brick on the second floor of the orphanage. Thanks for your prayers for them and your generosity. The money you provided paid for materials and will nearly finish the 2nd story. Thanks again for your help.
Those who have served our country in the military were honored in a special way a few weeks ago. Our W.A.Y. kids and their leaders, along with many parents, spent one of their lesson nights doing just that. They drove out to the Veteran's Facility in Grand Rapids and brought with them smiles, excitement, snacks, and bingo prizes. Some handed out prizes, some helped with snacks. At the end of the night the kids got in their cars and told us "we had fun!" And while we had fun, the veterans felt honored that our W.A.Y. kids took some time out to spend with them. We celebrate
the prayers and financial support we have here at EverGreen that make this type of ministry possible!
