Our youth department had a visit from a former student that came to the Vanderberg Youth Center during our after school program. He is graduating high school next week and he took time to read with one of our younger students during our education time! We were so happy to see him and love staying connected with those that have been part of the VYC.

Open
On Monday evenings, the guests at our L. Minor Care Center attend a life recovery group. Then, on Tuesday mornings, we touch base to search for ways to find the joy in all circumstances and journeys. Rejoice always, pray continually and give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16

Their next visits in May will help us prepare for our school uniform campaign and then get us fully prepped for our Ladies Bible Study Camp.

Open
The youth choir from 4th Baptist Church from Plymouth, MN came to the Kansas City area to perform with their beautiful voices and handbells. They sang songs about the goodness of God and the precious gift of Salvation through Jesus Christ. They even sang a song in Latin! This group of 75 very energetic high schoolers performed a concert for guests at our Men's Center on the first evening and our Women & Family Center the next night. They brought a lot of hope, joy and fun into the lives of those we serve. So beautifully done. Such an amazing ministry they have!
