This Summer, We Need You!

As you celebrate this holiday weekend with your friends and family, would you consider making a gift to support our summer ministries?

Super Summer Day Camps in Lewiston and Portland are kicking off, and we expect more than 150 children and teens to join us 4 days a week during the months of July and August. We couldn’t be more exited for this season!

Each day is packed with fun and learning, field trips and games as kids and teens work, play grow and gather together. In each location, our team works to empower and train neighborhood teens as peer mentors during Summer Camp. Lewiston also offers Lawn Care and Common Grounds Cafe. In all, we expect more that 40 teens to participate in our work experiences in Portland and Lewiston.

Each opportunity is chance for kids to learn more about their place in God’s plan to transform their communities. Each day, the Kingdom of God is demonstrated through works of service and building close relationships focused on what it means to love God and neighbor.

Your support is what makes each of these beautiful opportunities possible. In a very literal sense - we couldn’t possibly do it with out you.

If you haven’t given yet, would you prayerfully consider making a gift today?

We are so grateful to those who have already given and have done so with such generosity. It’s an honor to be partnered with you in this work as we seek the peace of Portland and Lewiston this summer!

Grace and Peace,

Joel Furrow, Executive Director
