A Bigger Story

Well, the big night is now behind us! Thank you to all of you who came out on Saturday night to the Cheney Place! We were blown away by the love and support we felt that night. We had so much help from family, friends and church members. Here are some pictures from our evening:

News From Here and There

News from here in Michigan: 

The kids are on Mid-Winter break for two days - enjoying the sledding and winter fun that Michigan has to offer.

Our event, "A Bigger Story" is this week-end! We hope to see you all there! It is going to be a great night of ministry update, mingling and munching!  Check out our sidebar for more information. It's not too late to sign up!

We continue to be thankful for our church and all the wonderful resources we can plug into this year. Last night we had praise service. One and a half hours of pure worship. I could feel tears welling up at times at just the beauty of worshiping in Spirit and in Truth. I love our church family.

We see our RVA kids in the area about once a month. We had them over again last week. It is such a joy to laugh together! We are so pleased to see them transitioning well to college life and plugging into church, school and friends so well.


News from over there in Kenya:

The father of one of our RVA students passed away this past week from an unexpected illness. This is a child's greatest fear - losing a parent. Not only is this dear family grieving deeply, but it raises a new anxiety among the student body. Please pray for this family - a mom and 6 children.

Kenya's elections are coming up in March. Four years ago this time proved to be one of tragedy and unrest. No one wants to see that story repeat itself.  Please pray for peace.
