Elevate

1. Serving among those who are different from us in culture and life experience.  This stretches our understanding, empathy, and compassion. In other words, get beyond your church walls!

2. One-time service impacts faith way less than building long-term relationships as we serve.

3. Serving that places us into situations that are beyond us, where we have to depend on God’s help and provision.

4. Both preparing beforehand and taking time to debrief and reflect on experiences afterward as a family are important to faith growth.

This week our students have been serving Mission Adelante, a cross-cultural ministry aimed at living with, serving, and encouraging the Hispanic immigrants and Bhutanese refugees that have localized in KCK. If you missed out, here are some ways your family can get involved and keep the partnership we have with them alive year-round. Just click here and scroll down to “needs” to find out how.
