Praise! The G.O. team has made it safely to Doro, South Sudan.  The trip has gone well thus far.  Even all of their bags are with them.  They are excited to begin working.  Pray for continued protection and for many opportunities to be a blessing to the people who are there.

The team (L to R): Tim, Brian, Ken, Jim

On Saturday, June 2nd, men of Glenwood enjoyed a fantastic breakfast made by Brian Ford and his team of cooks (food engineers, really, when we're talking about that much food tasting that good).  We then heard from Phil Long and Justin Swift.  Phil shared with us 3 of his spoken word poems which emphasized the importance of pointing other people to Jesus rather than ourselves.  Justin talked about the nature of leadership and what it means that Jesus leads us -- we lead others best when we are following Him.

Haitian coffee (ground and whole bean) is available for purchase at the Foyer Table Sunday morning, May 27. Bruce & Cindy McMartin (long-time GCC missionaries with Crossworld in Haiti) are working with Vision d’Antioche, a Haitian mission organization which mobilizes evangelical Haitian churches to equip, send, and sustain Haitian missionaries for world evangelism. All proceeds will go to support Vision d’Antioche.

How can a biblical worldview impact your perspective on iPhones, fossils, and forms of government?  Does how we define truth and reality really change how we talk at a neighbor's BBQ?  Does our understanding of the Trinity and God's Image affect what we think of the annoying guy in front of us at the check out line?

Invite your friends and neighbors to attend our Breakfast & Golf event to be held on Saturday, June 2 at 7:45 a.m. Begin the day at Glenwood for breakfast, followed by a message from our own Justin Swift. After breakfast, golfers then transition to Tri-Mountain golf course for a round of fun in the sun.  Sign up in the Foyer on Sunday!

This year's team has given us their intial entry in the midst of bad weather and a lack of internet.  We are grateful for modern communication technology.
