Every card in the packet includes the Main Point, Big Picture Question, Christ Connection, and Key Passage for each lesson of the quarter. New packets of The Big Picture Cards for Families will be available for each quarter. The suggested donation to defray their costs is $3 for one pack and $2.50 each for two packs or more. You’ll find a donation canister next to the basket of cards.

By the end of the day the Haitian workers made a good start on the 3rd story while the G.O. team worked on the 1st floor and the basement. Much progress was made on interior doors and trim. Last night we saw the moon and a few stars, and the sun was out quite a bit today. Please continue to keep the team in your prayers as we wrap up the week. Also remember the Haitians in the south who are dealing with the loss of loved ones, homes and livelihoods in the wake of Hurricane Matthew.

Glenwood’s outreach strategy is to be involved in sending those called to serve on a long term basis, to assist the development of national missionaries and leaders and to send short term Global Outreach (GO) Teams to these areas. Glenwood has been involved in Haiti for many years and is eager to support ministry in any number of ways. A team of nine have gone to Port-au-Prince this last week to minister in a number of ways, especially in doing finish work on a construction project on the STEP campus. Check back for team updates as we receive them.
