20+
Lives given to the Lord
I said it last month. And I'm going to say it again: It just keeps getting better!
Our third event of 2026 was our biggest event EVER. We served well over well 830 people and most importantly, over 20 people gave their lives to Christ.
PRAISE GOD! AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!
After the blow our community took with the tornado that struck Neenah, Menasha, and parts of Appleton, we came together and decided we needed to do something for the people who were impacted. And boy, did people every show up! Our initial idea to simply serve food, show love, and entertain with some great music quickly morphed into an opportunity to provide free haircuts, a giant bouncy-house for the kids, and a bevy of free school supplies for kids of all ages on top of the free food and entertainment.
The beauty and generosity that blossomed from such a traumatic event is nothing short of amazing. No one other than the Lord himself could orchestrate such a movement of people throughout such a large are and community. God didn't cause the destruction to happen. But, He sure used it for good.
Thank you to all the volunteers from our men's group and from Elevation Church in Green Bay, Eric/Jesse of Untapped Potential for the wonderful music, Annie from Mercy Tree Salon and all the stylists that contributed to the free haircuts, Big Guy's Handyman Service for collecting/distributing school supplies, Fran from Magical Party Rental for the kids bounce-house, Morgan and Kevin for their beautiful photography, Piggly Wiggly in Menasha for letting us completely take over their parking lot for half the day, and all of those who contributed financially to make this event possible. We could not have done this without you.
