Celebrate with Escape 22

Last Sunday Escape 22 held their Senior/Parent banquet...

• 23 seniors and their families - 110 people honored seniors graduating this year
• many came to Christ through Cornerstone having been raised in unbelieving families
• these "spiritual orphans" were prayed for by their parents - perhaps for the first time - as Cody directed parents at each table to stand behind their children, lay their hands on them and pray out loud!

A Band of Brothers

310 men, juniors in high school to grandfathers, attended the men's Band of Brothers retreat this past weekend at Sunstream Retreat Center:

• a freshman from DMACC, an acknowledged alcoholic, heard the gospel for the first time and received Christ as Geoff Safford presented the gospel in his message
• a highschooler brought his unbelieving friend and his girlfriend's father - both came away wanting to know God more fully
• one father explained why he had begun to attend Cornerstone: "If my son is excited about coming to church, I'm coming too!"

Cornerstone Abroad

Moldova and Albania and on to Turkey...

Tim Lubinus was in Moldova and Albania this past week to meet with

• church leaders from a specific people group in Moldova called the Gagauz, who are also Turkish speakers, in order to recruit partners from Europe to reach the Turkish people for Christ
• Ylli Doci and Cornerstone Church of Tirana, Albania. Ylli has already begun to recruit students to reach the Turkish for Christ!

God supplies unexpectedly and abundantly in Zambia!

• Not only did God allow us to get the piece of land adjoining our original property, but we got it free!
• Pastor Navice from Zambia left a voice message for Jeff: "The land is ours! I have the deed right here!"
• How great to serve a God who does far more abundantly than we can ask or think!
