An Awesome Summer at Urban Hope

Jason Holt from Urban Hope reports...

"We had an awesome summer working with over 200 children in our community through summer day camps. We want to say a big THANKS to all the groups who came through this summer to serve as counselors as well as our summer intern, Atanya Photikam. God used all of you to impact the lives of many children for His Kingdom.

"Over 40 children made a first time commitment to Christ. 18 children committed to the '215 Challenge' during our end of summer follow-up program. Pray for these children as they seek to share their testimony with 2 people each week, memorize 1 verse each week, and read their Bible and pray for 5 minutes each day until school starts in September."
