By the way... if you take the time to leave a note I am copying them and sharing them with the group so I encourage you, if you have a minute, to send some love! Blessings...
Hello From MN! It sounds like you are having a wonderful trip and God is at work within the group and on the streets of Chicago. I am reminded of a song from my young group days, and I hope that you make an adult sing it to you because I know someone knows this catchy tune. It is from I John 4:7-8 and it goes like this: Beloved, let us love one another for love is of God and everyone who loveth is born of God and knoweth God. He that loveth not (clap, clap, clap) knoweth not God for God is love. Beloved, let us love one another I John 4:7-8. Your trip is all about the love of Jesus for all of us and your love for others. God Bless all of you!! The Brooks Family
Hi everyone! We love reading Kelli's updates and the kids' testimonies every day and hearing about the awesome work you're doing to spread God's amazing love! The people of Chicago are blessed by your loving, giving hearts and we can tell that you are blessed by the Chicago people as well. This verse is for you: "All my prayers for you are full of praise to God! When I pray for you, my heart is full of joy because of all your wonderful help in making known the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now." Philippians 1:3 We are so proud of all of you. Nicole Fogarty, WE LOVE YOU!!!!! Love, The Fogarty Family
Hello! Thanks, Kelli, for your update and pictures It's so exciting that you have the opportunity to join God where He's at work.
II. Peter 1:5-8- "For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ."
It's a marathon, not a sprint. Praying you will stay the course and finish strong. You are loved...most of all by the Father, Himself!

P.S.- Cam, Chris and Jared- Your soccer team lost Monday's game 3-0. Casey's mom said with 3 of you starting players gone they couldn't build up any momentum. They were on the defensive all game. They are trying to bring up players for tomorrow night's game. Let's hope for a better outcome!
Happy birthday, Drew! We will miss you on June 23rd, but what a blessing to celebrate your 17th birthday serving and learning from the people at SGM and in the surrounding neighborhood. We are praying that you have eyes to see and ears to hear God's wisdom from Micah 6:8: Act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God. We love you! Your Family :)

Hi Ashley,(and all you servants of Christ) Just a quick note to let you know that I love you, miss you, am praying for you, and am so proud of you. What a wonderful opportunity to be able to be God's vessel/servant in loving those that are poor. Here is a cool verse I read: Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker, those who help the poor honor him. - Proverbs 14:29 How wonderful to be involved in honoring our Lord and Saviour.
Sophomores from Wooddale Senior High head to the south side of Chicago to serve with Sunshine Gospel Ministries and learn about God's heart for the poor and racial reconciliation.
