Stepping Out of Africa

As a church we just completed our hosting of the World Vision Experience: AIDS (www.worldvisionexperience.org). I must say that while I'm exhausted, I'm also thrilled. I am proud of our church, the leadership, and the community for rallying around this important issue with a commitment to learn and to act. This is the church being the church, and that is exciting stuff.

Totals: 1809 visitors, 161 new children sponsored (with 92 of those being Crossroadians, which brings us close to 300 sponsor children as a faith family), 270 volunteers to make the event happen, one amazing concert with Sarah Groves. God at work.

There is another team from Crossroads heading off to Swaziland in mid-June. They will get to visit our sponsor kids and see the work World Vision is doing there. If you'd like to know how you can help, or if you'd like to sponsor a child in Sithobella, Swaziland, give me a call at church and we can set you up.

Blessings!
