Ministering to Abandoned and Abused Children

On Wednesday night we heard from our missionaries who are giving their lives to rescue abused, neglected, enslaved and exploited children in the Philippines. Alex & Marissa Coriell (and their young sons, Jonathan and Josiah) are the founders of http://www.unbrokeninternational.org/. They are making a diiference in the lives of these precious young people. Marissa is the daughter of IGC missionaries to China (Christine & Ray Sharpe) and was part of our own children's church as a child. You can visit their website to find out more.

Missions Accomplished . . .

Our Missions Teams are home from their summer ministry assignments! Our So. Dakota Team (8 youth and 5 adults) gave their report to the congregation on Wednesday eve. Everyone was on the edge of their seats recounted the horrible results of Meth abuse among the teens on the reservation - and then demonstrated how their dancing, original skits and service made an inroad with the other teens (and everyone else who attended the services). This wasn't an easy trip (note the van - full of supplies to minister love as well as serve as our team's food rations!

Also, Bishop LaDonna and her team (Deac. Cory Nickerson, Rev. Harry Jackson &Rev. Jennifer Yeager) returned from their 7 weeks in Indonesia with countless stories of the many miracles - proof of God's Love for people! You can read more about those events at http://www.osbornministries.blogspot.com/.
