Christmas Reflections

Sunday was a wonderful cap to an incredible year.  We had our debut for the choir robes and a very special presentation by our youth as they performed to an original song written by Jason Williams, then our children did a wonderful job of telling the story about the birth of Jesus.  I tell you I could not be more filled with pride over what this ministry has been able to do over the last year.

Here are a few hightlights from this year:

  • First Ski Trip
  • Couples Valentine Banquet
  • Largest Easter service with great results as people received Jesus as their personal Savior
  • Appreciation Lunch for teachers and staff of General George Patton School
  • Built a playground for General George Patton School (We were able to assemble over 300 volunteers with the help of Shine 89.7FM)
  • Moved into a new facility with over 32,000 square feet of ministry space
  • Large and energetic Vacation Bible School
  • Largest Kids Camp attendance
  • Backpack Giveaway (over 300 children received school supplies and individual prayer)
  • Largest Youth Convention attendance (53 young people experienced a truly moving time in the presence of the Lord)
  • Incredible Fall Fest with well over 350 children
  • Thanksgiving food basket give-away with over 50 baskets being distributed through the community
  • Several large Christmas events
All of this has led to a truly unforgettable year!  We have seen a 13% growth primarily made up of new young Christians!  Thank you for your prayers and support.

We owe many special thanks to Children’s Hunger Fund, CSX Transportation, Wal-Mart, Shine.FM, Excel Electric, Tri Excellence Transportation and the Village of South Holland!
