UPDATE from the Food Pantry in Northern Riley County ……

On Saturday November 17^th, 35 families were blessed with a Thanksgiving basket full of food.  The families are given a choice of either ham or turkey for their Thanksgiving meal.  Some of the other items that they get in their Thanksgiving basket is: stuffing, cranberry sauce, canned yams, canned vegetables, jello, fruit cocktail, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, pumpkin and etc.

November 3^rd, we did a record number of families – 22 with 66 individuals in those families.  Our previous record number was after the ice storm when we had 21 families with 72 individuals. We were recently given 300 pounds of venison.  God continues to bless this mission everyday even though it is getting very hard to keep food on the pantry shelves, but our baskets of blessings continue to overflow. Thank you for your food donation to the Food Pantry.

 

Missionary Update: Victory Village

Our mission is to serve as the hands and feet of Jesus.  Inspired by His gospel, we seek to make Gods amazing love and compassion real to wounded teenage girls, serving them without charge to their families by providing a clean and safe home, a good education, nutritious meals, training in life skills, outdoor and indoor activities and sports, opportunities to be involved in the ministry of helping others and an introduction to Jesus, who will love them forever. We affirm the worth of all without prejudice, partiality or intimidation.

 

Here is a list of some things the facility is needing if you feel led to give:

• New (to them) gym basketball goals
• Chair cart (for gym chairs)
• Trash bags (39, 13 & 4 gallon)
• Toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, comet, spic n span,
• liquid laundry detergent

The Flourishing Life

Flourish: to thrive, to be full, vibrant, faithful….this month over 100 Cru students and staff members from all over Kansas joined together at our Fall Getaway. We explored how to flourish, in college and in the workplace, and we learned that the measure of human flourishing is Jesus’ life!

We were all challenged to give up lifestyles of autonomy, individualism, pleasure seeking, isolation, and an “us vs. them” mentality; all of which lead to languishing.  Instead, we Christians were called to live a life of following/obeying Christ, in real, authentic communities where we can relentlessly pursue personal wholeness. And non-Christian students were invited to start living the flourishing life that comes through knowing Jesus as Lord and Savior! It was great for our students to have a weekend away from the hustle and bustle that is the status quo of college life!

 

Please pray that God will help every student from Fall Getaway to flourish; as they follow him back on campus, and as they invite their friends to join them in life changing, Christ centered community!
