What an amazing morning! We are absolutely stunned by the dedication of these 4 organizations. 7More, Elijah Rising, Spring Spirit, and Yellowstone Academy blew us away with their missions and requests! Please learn more about each of these amazing ministries and visit our photo gallery to see more pictures from the event this morning.
We would like to highlight the verses that each of these organizations use as the backbone of their work:
7More: Isaiah 1:23, Matthew 7:11, Matthew 18:22
Your rulers are rebels, partners and thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow's case does not come before them. Isaiah 1:23
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! Matthew 7:11
Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times." Matthew 18:21-22
Elijah Rising: Isaiah 1:17, Malachi 4
Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow. Isaiah 1:17
"Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire," says the Lord Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-feed calves. Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act," says the Lord Almighty... Malachi 4:1-3
Spring Spirit: Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8
Yellowstone Academy: Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
