THIS YEAR WE RAISED OVER...
20-25
THAT EQUALS:
SCHOLARSHIPS FOR CURRENT &
NEW STUDENTS IN CAMBODIA
Wow! How do we begin to say
“thank you”? This year God
surpassed all of our expectations
and we were able to raise
$21,000. 100% of the money
raised will help Cambodian
teens stay out of sex trafficking
and allow them to receive an
education. That will allow for
20-25 scholarships for current
and new students in Cambodia!
Thank you, thank you, thank you
to all who supported, donated
and prayed for this mission. Talk
about the impact this will have
on Restoring Our Broken World.

We often hear the phrase “Perception is everything” – it’s true. But in
our self-absorbed culture it’s not so much about ‘perception’ as it is
‘perspective.’ Many of us struggle with ‘navel-gazing’. This condition
can affect so much of our day-to-day perspective of everything
from breakfast, to traffic, to the simple act of saying ‘thanks’. Join
us Thanksgiving weekend to explore how we can best adjust our
perspective with God’s wisdom and help.

sermon? No worries! You can
listen to them anytime online at

Explore the Meaning of Life. This class will discuss questions that even seasoned Christians struggle with, but
never have had the opportunity to ask in a non-threatening environment. For those who are investigating
Christianity for the first time and for those who are new beginners in the faith, they will find this to be a very
good class to understand the basics as well the deeper aspects of Christianity.
