Quick Updates

Internship-Mission Adelante is planning a summer internship for emerging leaders in cross-cultural ministry. Megan McDermott (left), a current volunteer, is the first to sign up. The program will require interns to live in the neighborhood for the summer and will include ministry training and practical experience. Please consider making a financial contribution to help us cover the costs of the internship! Funds are needed to cover the costs of housing, ministry and training expenses, and a modest stipend for each intern.

Building Remodel-The scope of our building remodel project has increased significantly. We are working with an architect and a general contractor on a plan that will include a combination of professional contractors, plus skilled and unskilled volunteers. Contact Seth Sears (seths@missionadelante.org) to sign up for a Saturday workday this year or to offer your skills!

Compelling Compassion-Graciela's English class prayed for her husband to get a job, God answered this prayer through one of our prayers and two weeks later Graciela and her husband were visiting our worship celebration. Compassion in the name of Christ is compelling!

Multiplying Leaders-Some preliminary evidences of fruit are suggesting that God is accomplishing the full cycle of our mission, "Serving Hispanic Immigrants to Christ and Mobilizing them to Serve." Leticia, who received Christ two years ago through Mission Adelante, is now discipling two new Hispanic women. Elaine, another recent convert is nearly finished with her basic discipleship study and is preparing to teach it to a friend whom she invited to our worship celebration last Sunday!
