Starbucks and Students



Over the next 6 weeks our High School Pastor, Jonathan Gray, is challenging our High School students to raise money in their small groups to help those less fortunate in countries all around the world. He's partnering with Harvest of Hope in hopes that our students can demonstrate God's love in a way that one person, who they may never meet, will never forget. The small groups will raise money to purchase families a well for drinking water, Bibles for those who have none, and seeds for farmers in a 3rd world countries so they can feed their families.

The challenge is simple - we're asking or students to give up their weekly Starbucks run, Wendy's frosty, or a new pair of jeans in order to practice compassion for others and selflessness for ourself. I can't wait to see how God will use this creative and challenging idea, I can't wait to see many of our students get involved, and I'm so grateful to work with such a gifted leader as Jonathan.

hoping for a harvest,
Brian
