Youth Ministry Project: Build an Orphanage
0 Comments
Our 10:31 youth ministry has been raising money to pay for construction of a baby orphanage (envisioned in the sketch above). Between what the ministry gave through an offering at the May 10:31 meeting and other fundraising efforts, $9,000 has been raised to date!
A little background…
Covenant Life’s 10:31 youth ministry has been serving Rancho 3M Christian Orphanage in Guadalupe, Mexico, for the last five years. Each summer the ministry sends teams to Guadalupe to lead summer Bible camp and do construction projects. This summer’s project is building a baby orphanage on the grounds. Dean Adamek, the director of Rancho3M, has a vision to take in and care for abandoned babies from the area, and then to see them adopted into families from Sovereign Grace churches at very low cost.
While Dean is working with the Mexican government and tending to the paperwork required to become an official adoption agency, the youth will be hard at work building a nursery to house these babies. The plan is to break ground the second week of July!
The youth have shown tremendous initiative in their fundraising efforts. Examples include selling Krispy Kreme donuts in the church lobby on Sundays, selling and purchasing “Rancho 3M” bracelets, giving generously of their own savings, and participating in the youth drama production of “Pilgrim.” All proceeds from concessions sold at “Pilgrim” are going towards the orphanage as well.
I am so grateful to see the ways God is being honored through the youth of Covenant Life. Please keep the teens and parents who are going to serve this summer in your prayers.
