Reaching out, meeting needs

Reaching out...
  • Cody Cline took several Escape 22 leaders and students to Jordan Creek Mall to prayerfully share the gospel with anyone God allowed them to engage in conversation with
  • Joel Vint shared a Bible overview with internationals at IFC - internationals who have begun discipling other internationals because they know God is calling them to reach out
  • Freshman Group ministry has begun a Theology of the Gospel class comprised only of international students

Meeting needs...

  • Jeff Dodge was able to purchase 15+ acres in Zambia with Cornerstone's Global Outreach funds to begin establishing a self-sustaining orphanage
  • This land has fertile soil, is bordered by a stream that flows even during the dry season, is near a school for the children, and already has an apple orchard!
  • In the future, they are planning to add fish ponds, and plant beans, corn, and melons to feed the children.
  • Jeff was also given the opportunity "to weep with those who weep" as he prayed for a pastor's son who was dying of AIDS
  • and then, within half an hour, "to rejoice with those who rejoice" as he prayed with another man to receive Christ.
