Youth Ministry Grows

180 Junior High Ministry Retreat looked like this:

• 2 busloads
• 110 students
• an awesome speaker
• 15 new believers in the Kingdom!

Fall Kicks Off!

God is growing each ministry at Cornerstone...

• D6 began this year with 350 children, up from 260 last year! As a result, we are literally breaking down walls in the children's wing to create enough space for the next one.
• The annual IFC hayride had 500 participants this year!
• 180, our junior high ministry, had 147 students
• Westwind, our Waukee church plant, kicked off their first service with 160 people

What about the individual? Look at this one snapshot to see how God is at work:

Jack Owens related this story, "Ben, a new Chinese believer, met Shay, a Nigerian believer on Cyride. Ben invited Shay to the IFC hayride. Shay shared the gospel with an unbelieving Chinese man named Tim. Tim received Christ at the hayride! When I met Tim on Sunday, he told me of his decision and said he would like an English Bible to study."
