Winners of the Class Gift Competition were the Class of 1958 for raising the most money on auction day ($1,830), and the Class of 1974 for turning in the most money pre-auction ($1,250) and also for having the most creative gift (Pendleton Vacation Package).

Thank you to the businesses, alumni and supporters who donated, bought items, and prayed for the event. We would also like to thank the many volunteers who helped make the event another success.

Special Project: Gravel Road Repair

Thanks to those who gave to the special project for repairing gravel roads on the WMS campus. Cal Emmert ’56 and his crew began scraping, grading and graveling the following week after the auction. Thank you Liberty Rock Products of Sweet Home for your great work and for improving the quality of our campus roads!

Last year, Nick worked at a refugee camp just outside of Vienna where about half of the people are Muslim. “The Oasis” camp he worked at serves meals, tea and coffee to the refugees to meet their physical needs while sharing the gospel. During his time there, he also worked at an academy teaching soccer, enjoying his time working with the young kids and impacting their lives for Christ.

This year, Nick will have the opportunity to go to Kosovo and be a part of the SOS ministry for one week. While there the team will partner with a local church to do soccer camps, using the time as outreach to meet and build relationships in the community. He will also be supporting the full time Surge International staff in their on-going ministries with refugees, Bible studies, soccer and English camps, and reaching out to the people. Surge International is a Christian organization using soccer, the world’s most popular sport, to break down social barriers and provide opportunities to share the Christian message of hope around the world.

Nick asks for prayers as he continues to seek God’s leading.

Come tonight for the opening of our musical production at 7pm. See other dates and times.
