Men & Ladies of Honor
Michigan, USA
Look what's happening right here in our own communities! Men of Honor and Ladies of Honor are opportunities to bring the love of Jesus Christ right into the public schools. The young men and women who choose to participate in these programs are being taught their worth and value according to what the Word of God says about them, not what the world says. They get to dive as deep as they choose into the journey to discover who they are created to be.
Operation Christmas Child
Global
We get to put the love of Jesus in a BOX!!! Operation Christmas Child is a ministry that allows people to pack a shoebox full of gifts, school supplies, and hygiene items to be distributed to children ages 2-14 around the world. Every child who receives a box is given a Greatest Journey book and hears the gospel story. In addition, he/she has the opportunity to attend a 12 week discipleship program. A new Bible (in their own language) is rewarded at graduation for those who complete the program. Visit our Amazon Wish List or contact our Project Leader to get involved.
