Six months after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake devastated Haiti, HOPE worldwide continues to help the people there. Your support and donations are helping give orphans a home and a hope.
On Sunday the Chicago Church joined the Campus disciples for a combined church service of roughly 4500. In a fantastic display of generosity and love, $22,000 was donated to Chance for Africa. Everyone involved in Chance for Africa says a big "Thank You!" to all the students and Chicago disciples who contributed. Please check back at the www.ChanceforAfrica website in a few weeks to see the photos of the children that will get to go to school because of your offering. Chance for Africa is a charity administered by the Elders and board of our ICOC Church in San Antonio (Mission Point Christian Church). It helps the children of African disciples pay their school fees so that they can get an education.
Day 2 was awesome at the Chicago Campus Conference. 2100 campus students boarded buses at dawn and rode over to Englewood to clear lots and serve the community. Mayor Daley and a host of public officials came out to thank the students for their service. Friday night the hall was full to hear Chip Mitchell, evangelist from Boston, preach about camaraderie and brotherhood. It was an incredible night.
With over 2000 campus disciples attending here in Chicago, this campus conference is perhaps our largest ever.
Tomorrow attendees at the ICOC International Campus Ministry Conference (ICMC) will join with HOPE worldwide in a Day of Service in the 16th Ward, located in the Greater Englewood community. Englewood has 2,000 vacant lots littered with trash and debris. According to Keith Calloway, Commander of the Chicago Police Department’s 7th District, this attributes to local violence. The neglected land reflects a lack of care and concern – resulting in more harmful acts in and to the community.
