In August, we shared about serinvg in downtown Washington D.C. to help clean up schools. Here is a message from Rachael Jankowsky of the DC Schools Project Team:
Dear MBC,
Over the past week the DC Schools Project team has gotten several questions as to how the outreach went and so we wanted to update you. This year we had over 450 volunteers serve at 58 schools all over The District. Our volunteers served alongside community members, teachers, administrators and students as they spruced up DC Public Schools for the start of the school year. Our volunteers were armed with promo cards advertising all MBC/FL campuses and services times, and a business-sized card used as a tool for sharing the Gospel. Our volunteers also all had the option of going through a training guide of how to be effective in sharing their faith. Thanks to everyone from all of our different campuses and from all different ministry areas for getting the word out and for helping to make this year’s DC Schools Project a success. Not only is this event preparing DC for an MBC campus and reaching out to people in the name of Jesus, it is also challenging and equipping our community at MBC to live out their faith every day! Thanks again for all of your help and support this year.
Our August-September missions project supported Operation Christmas Child. We collected/assembled 410 boxes and received $1368.50 which was used to help with buying extra supplies and paying for shipping. This week, November 16-23, Operation Christmas Child distrubution centers are collecting all the boxes to ship. While we are no longer collecting boxes in Kid’s Quest, you can click here to find the distribution center closest to you if you wish to still participate. Thank you to the 75 volunteers who helped on Assembly Day and to the Frontline Small Group who has volunteered to deliver our boxes to the distribution center. Continue to pray for the children who will receive our gifts and that the Gospel message will transform their lives.
