The Great Pumpkin Give Away ~ October 9, 2010

God blessed us with beautiful weather last Saturday for our Great Pumpkin Give Away at Irons' Fruit Farm. We partnered with Bill and Beth Irons by giving away mini-pumpkins, popcorn, Challenge Newspaper, and sharing our awesome bounce-house for the kids.

In addition, Derrick Dye who attends Urbancrest was our on-site juggler. He used to be a clown for Barnum & Bailey Circus. He did a great job sharing the gospel while performing some awesome feats like juggling knives over his niece and juggling fire sticks!

Clint Otto and his family made balloon animals and gave them to kids which opened the door to share the gospel.

Many thanks to Cathy Dwire who coordinated the 28 UBC volunteers who served from 10AM-4PM. In addition, Eric Whitmer coordinated the distribution of Challenge Newspapers. We were able to plant the gospel seed. Now, pray that God brings the increase!

Huge Banana Split at La Luz ~ September 23, 2010

The Gathering at La Luz partnered with Keith Ray, Student Venture, to create our monthly connection event with residents at La Luz on Thursday, September 23rd.

Residents of all ages worked as a team to help set up our 80 ft. sundae across the basketball court! While everyone enjoyed the fruits of their labor by eating the banana split, Keith shared the good news of the gospel. Pray that God continues to work in the lives of the residents at La Luz to bring more into the Kingdom and to make Christ-like disciples.
