Friends Christian School, an affiliate of Rose Drive Friends Church and Friends Church Yorba Linda, committed to give their chapel offerings from the first semester of school to our "Christmas in Quito" team to help purchase the supplies needed for the Extreme Response Christmas parties! All of the money raised has gone to buy school supplies, toiletries, and toys that will be distributed to the kids who live in the dumps at the events Nov. 26 - Dec. 4, 2012.
Thanks to FCS's students, parents, and staff, over $1800 was raised to support this ministry! What a huge blessing!! We are so thankful for our partnership with Friends Christian School and, that through prayer and offering, the FCS family is a staple part of our team!
Three of our team members - Megan Ilertsen, Mandi Pettikas, and Aaron Steiger - are FCS alumni. After the new year, our team will be speaking in chapel at Friends Christian School to share our experience with the students.

We dropped the team off at LAX at 3:30 a.m. They are on their way!
ReplyDeleteThe mission of Friends Christian School is to develop, nurture and equip students to positively impact their world for Christ. Our three alums - Mandi, Megan, and Aaron - are living that out this week in Quito!
