 Fishing for Christ
LIYM Summer trips are strategic times to provide fun actives for kids who other- wise see little more than hot apart-ments and dangerous streets. These are the summer highlights that ‘our children’ write about when teachers asks them what they did over the summer. These are the outings that frame their childhood memories. Summer trips give fatherless children an opportunity to experience God’s creation while building relationships with His people. Help us on a fishing trip where life’s lessons were not taught but caught. SEE THE VIDEO |

In second grade, where there once had been a third it felt better to go up when the blue jays were called. Everyone still knew .... Click here for story!
A Year in the Life
By Lynn Wohland,
East End Area Director
As I looked across the meeting table at Julie*, I was praising the Lord in my heart for what He had done; not only in this past year by bringing her through one of the most challenging years of her young life, but in the past five years, through the friendship with her mentor, Susan*.
