ICM 2008 Coming This May
Does
your ministry to kids seem routine, ordinary, ho-hum, and perhaps even

change that will inspire, encourage, compel and transform the lives of
the kids you serve. Read more about ICM by clicking here.

Project Guatemala
The greatest need any child has is Jesus. But it is difficult to listen to the "Good News" when you're hungry, surviving in poor living conditions and with no one to help you. Approximately 1,500 miles due south of Memphis, Tennessee in the city of Teculatan, Guatemala children and their families sift through the trash at the landfill to find food to eat. The workers at Esperanza de Vida (Hope of Life) share the "Good News" of Jesus with these boys and girls. They also help provide school supplies and clothing as well as feeding 300 children, 3 times each week during the school year. Read more about our partnership to feed the children of Guatamala and find out how your church can help by clicking here.
