Dear Partners in Ministry,

This summer has been different, yet successful. I’d like to update you on what God is doing in our lives and in ministry:

Church: We are in a season of transition as some staff and interns are moving on from His House CMU, others are changing roles, and new staff and interns are beginning their ministry.  Despite these changes, people are responding to the Gospel of Christ nearly every week!  A student named Tony responded to the Gospel and said, “It’s time I start living my life for Christ and giving Him my all.” Tony and other individuals are now connecting and growing in our LifeGroups as they experience what a relationship with Jesus is all about. We’re also very busy preparing for thousands of students to invade Mt. Pleasant as they do every year. We’re excited about the opportunity we will have to minister to this campus and city.

Family Update:  Last week we returned from vacation. We had a wonderful time catching up with old friends and His House Alumni Tony and Jessie Boscarino in Nebraska, as well as spending a week at Gull Lake Family Camp. We received a scholarship for the camp a few years back and finally decided to take them up on the offer. The entire vacation was very refreshing and encouraging as we experienced great fun, fellowship, and biblical teaching.  Wendi's pregnancy has continued along very smoothly, and baby Titus will be here in late October! 

Support Update: Once again we’re out support raising and asking you to partner with us in ministry. God continues to provide through many different people who are excited about the work we are doing. However, we need your financial support in order to continue to reach the students of CMU. Like each staff member, I am responsible to raise funds so I can be devoted to full-time ministry. Your support over the past seven years has been a huge blessing, and we’ve seen much fruit from our work at His House. You’ve helped reach thousands of students with the Gospel. Will you continue to invest in what God is doing at CMU? Will you continue to support the ministry God has called us to?

For many the easiest way to give is on-line at hhcf.org/give. I’ve included a support card to fill out if you’d prefer to mail in you gifts. Thank you!!!

Joyfully Serving Christ on Campus!
