SOS

(Summer of Service)
This years SOS had over 30
churches represented, 650
people, many of whom went out
and served on one of 42 different
work teams throughout Michiana.
The work/ministry sites included
South Bend, Elkhart, Mishawaka,
Goshen all in Indiana and Union
Michigan. Teams visited 26
nursing homes, conducted 8
neighborhood block parties, and
6 locations for car washes. There
were projects at Hope Ministries,
the Kroc Center, the YMCA, local
food pantries, Faith Mission,
Servants of the Streets, and 5
Stars new ranch.
FCC was hugely represented
with around 65 people serving
through the events duration. Not
only were people in the
community impacted, but our
congregation.
Several months ago, FCC
missionaries Gabo & Emily asked
if we would like to host a student
from Mexico City who has been
involved in their student ministry,
Vida Estudiantil. So, Andrs
arrived for a month beginning the
end of May. Four different
families where able to spend time
with him in their homes, not to
mention the church as a whole and
SOSers. His boldness in sharing
the gospel in his former high
school (he has graduated) led to
the formation of 2 Bible studies
(one at another high school) that
included around 25 students each.
Andrs even shared the gospel (in
English) with a resident at a
nursing home.

CASSIE - She worked on many of the
behind the scene logistics that allowed
things to run smoothly during the day
LAURI & LEXI - Lexi was challenged
to step out of her comfort zone and
prayed with people waiting for a car wash
ANDRS - He was very impressed with
SOS and participated fully, although
English is a second language for him
