Children play on the Rancho 3M school grounds
The second mission trip of 2012 to Rancho 3M Christian Orphanage and School in Guadalupe, Mexico, is planned for November 10-17. The work project for the team is constructing a roof overhang for the middle school to provide shade, and a trash enclosure.
If you have experience in construction, especially masonry, or are just willing to work hard and get your hands dirty, you are invited to apply to join the team. Cost per person will be approximately $700. E-mail or call .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) at the church office by September 18.
Covenant Life Church has been serving and partnering with Rancho 3M now for several years. Last summer (2011) work was completed on a home for orphaned babies.
Coffee and Tea: A Team Effort

Discovery Land Needs You!
August 20 2012 at 5:16 pm 0 CommentsDiscovery Land, the children’s ministry here at Covenant Life, needs your help for the upcoming school year. Are you curious to know what it would be like if there were no Discovery Land volunteers? Find out in the “breaking news report” video above! Special thanks to Caleb Barker for his hard work on this.
Would you please consider serving here and also pray that God would provide workers?
Discovery Land is a wonderful way to not only serve the dear families of this church, but also fulfill the command of Psalm 78:4: “Tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.” We want Covenant Life’s children to come to faith in Christ, and what better way to be part of that than to come alongside parents on Sunday mornings to help teach their kids the gospel?
A couple quick items to consider:
- The need for classroom volunteers is great. But there are also many other ways to serve in Discovery Land, including caring for children in classrooms, welcoming guests, hallway security, singing, teaching and more. Whatever your gifting and interests, there’s probably a place for you!
- If your family is planning to benefit from Discovery Land in 2012-13, we ask that at least one parent serve at least once a month. Please keep in mind that this is the minimum requirement. If you can serve more, that would greatly helps us.
- We love champions! A champion is someone who serves each week for a whole year. It’s a big commitment, but it’s well worth the investment.
- Our annual volunteer training night is on Aug. 26 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the main auditorium. We ask that all volunteers attend, regardless of how long you’ve been serving in the ministry.
- If you’d like to fill out an application form or ask more questions, contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) at the church office.
Thank you for considering this important ministry!
Rancho 3M Baby Home: Complete!
November 13 2011 at 6:14 pm 1 Comments
This coming Sunday we’ll be celebrating the completion of the baby home at Rancho 3M Orphanage and School in Gaudalupe, Mexico. Covenant Life has been partnering with Director Dean Adamek and the Rancho 3M Ministry since 2005. Completion of construction on the baby home this summer was the culmination of seven Covenant Life missions trips over a two-year period and 6000 man hours of work.
Working hand in hand with the appropriate governmental authorities, Rancho 3M plans to take in orphaned babies from the community while seeking adoptive homes for them.
The video (top) and slideshow (bottom) above provide a look at the construction process, the Covenant Life members involved, and the some of the children and staff of Rancho 3M. Thank you, Covenant Life Church for praying, believing, and giving to make the baby home possible.
Outreach to Area Neighborhoods Coming This Month
July 1 2011 at 6:24 pm 0 CommentsYouth from Covenant Life are putting “feet to their faith” July 11-15 by offering a week of Christian day camps in communities close to the church. The goal is to love our neighbors through serving, developing friendships, and sharing biblical truth as we combine service projects with intensive, relational ministry.
Todd Keeler is leading the initiative called simply “Local Missions 2011” (see above for photos from last year), with the support and help of Family Life pastor Matt Maka and the 10:31 youth ministry. Participants will be primarily 10:31 youth and their parents, including other Covenant Life adults who have already been serving faithfully in these communities.
Youth and parents will fan out to several local neighborhoods each day to lead day camps for children with games, singing, Bible teaching, Scripture memory, arts and crafts, snacks, and miscellaneous fun. At the end of the week, each team hopes to host a cookout for the children and their parents right in their neighborhood.
Todd sees the week of camps as “another step into the community with the gospel, following in the footsteps of Mark Mitchell (Outreach Pastor), Drew Garfield (Community Outreach and Missions Coordinator), and others who have been getting to know and love our neighbors.”
It is tremendously exciting to think of the possibilities as God directs more and more people from Covenant Life to serve in practical ways and build relationships with members of these communities. We hope that this week will play a small part. Let’s pray that God will continue to fan into flame his gifts at work in us as we befriend our neighbors with the love and truth of Christ.
