A Growing Audience

We had the opportunity to share our virtual “Be the Story” event with 1000+ partners, who were encouraged by the stories of our students. In addition, we multiplied our outreach in exciting ways by launching a Social Media team. This team posts new content each day that reaches partners all around the world!

Going to Camp!

We are so excited to announce that our generous partners and friends at Parma Heights Baptist Church have offered to host our students for a 4-Day Summer Camp experience. This Camp experience will give us the opportunity to share the Gospel in an immersive experience, while providing food, fun, and friends. You can become a part of this dynamic experience by contributing to our camp scholarship fund. Your enclosed contribution could be the first step in a student’s life, leading them to an everlasting relationship with Christ.
