THANK YOU | Our fiscal year has ended and IMS would like to thank all
of our supporting churches, those that support IMS through their congregations,
and especially those that have chosen to go beyond this commitment and give
directly to IMS. Without your collective dedication to the mission of IMS, we
wouldn't be able to provide the IMS experience for our students. We truly
appreciate the significant level of support we receive year after year
from our generous community. We also want to thank all of you who participated
in our Save Room For Pie fundraiser. Together we raised over $96,000!
And together we look forward to a new year filled with many new and exciting
things; things that will make the future of IMS bright!
Central Plains
Conference
▪ Central Plains
Mennonite Conference Prayer Request:
Please pray today for the transitions
that are facing Central Plains Mennonite Conference in the coming months. We
pray especially for Tim Detweiler as his time at CPMC has officially ended (He
retired at the end of April, but graciously agreed to continue half-time
through June), and for Susan Janzen as she has ended her time at Cedar Falls
Mennonite Church in preparation to come aboard the CPMC team in August. We pray
that these transitions would be times of peace and joy and renewed vision.
▪ Mennonite
Mission Network Prayer Request: Anne Garber Kompaoré of
Mennonite Mission Network travels around the world as a Bible-translation
consultant. She is based in Burkina Faso, where she and her husband, Daniel,
provide leadership for congregations and schools. Pray for an end to
persecution against Christians and to terrorist attacks in the country.
