Youth Teams Return

God's work in Rosebud...
  • Escape 22 took 18 students to the Rosebud Reservation with a goal of each student making one long lasting contact with a Rosebud teenager.
  • 28 Rosebud teenagers are connected! They will be discipled via email and Facebook on a longterm basis, and followed up personally when Cornerstone again travels to Rosebud.
  • This is a vital ministry at a critical time in their lives - the average age that children begin to consume alcohol on the reservation is 11 years old. Pray for God's work in these 28.
  • Westwind also sent a team that shared at a rehab center in Rosebud. One of the men on the Westwind team, thinking he had come to help build with a hammer in hand, was used by God to instill hope at the rehab center as he shared his own story of God's deliverance from alcohol and drugs. Hope is a precious commodity at Rosebud. Pray that the God of all Hope will invade their lives.

180 Student Life Campers...

  • 50 junior high students from Cornerstone went to the Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri to grow in their walk with God.
  • the camp speaker, an Iranian Christian, shared on the cost of following Christ, and what it means to walk in authenticity and unity as believers.
  • 9 students gave their lives to Christ!
  • pray that the students will continue to live out the reality of their faith in authenticity and unity for His glory.

A Global Church...

Take a look at how God is working globally through Cornerstone:
  • Jeff Dodge is in Zambia, having just returned from 4 days away from the Hope Center. Check out the latest on the Hope Center blog: http://hopechildrenscenter.blogspot.com/ .
  • Tim Lubinus has just returned from Central Asia where he has been networking with believing nationals from other Central Asian countries who can more easily penetrate the culture of these unreached groups with the gospel.
  • Cornerstone is in a series of meetings with the leadership of the International Mission Board to discuss ways to more effectively reach the nations for Christ.
  • Pray for God's continued blessing in each of these areas!
