Summary

Strong giving in January and March allowed us to save money while launching multiple discipleship opportunities.

Ministry Highlights

• We sent 4 church members as missionaries to Warren, Germany, to serve for 10 days. (Yeng Thao & Jerry Yang, Rick & Kirstin Wallace)

• You donated a whopping $6,876 for the HLUB youth conference. Thank you for this incredible generosity!

• We bought a new soundboard. The one at the St. Paul campus was failing and is no longer supported by the manufacturer.

• After some repairs, we have working snowblowers on both campuses. This has helped cut snow removal costs at the end of the winter season.

• At the Brooklyn Park campus, a nearby mosque has been using the parking lot for Ramadan celebrations. This has been an ongoing and very positive interfaith relationship.

• We have received another shipment of 5,000 Bombas to distribute.

Attendance

• Overall, steady attendance.

• Quarterly average: 234. This is a 5% growth over last quarter.
