Manhattan Christian College Alumni Newsletter May-June 2009

 Dear MCC Alums,
It's quiet around the MCC campus - the students were finished with finals by May 15 and joyfully taking road trips home or to an assortment of internships and mission trips. Remember those days? You might be in the midst of hitting the bleachers at the ball fields, or finding your favorite place at the kiddie pools and parks. You may be busily preparing for VBS at your church, or you may be working, and planning a short get-away to see family over the 4th. Whatever it is you are or will be doing, we pray that you will continue to be reminded of how much the Lord delights in you! (Jeremiah 9:24)

Economics Class Project
Blankets for Sudanese People
 During Mr. Dale Levering's Spring 2009 Micro-Economics class, he offered his class an outreach opportunity in lieu of a final. Through the missions organization Voice of the Martyrs, the class raffled tickets for a donated computer and printer in order to raise money for a ministry called "Blankets and a Bible". Between funds from the raffle and donations from the class, enough money was raised to buy 20 new queen sized blankets. On May 7, they were delivered to Bartlesville, OK, the donation center for VOM. Way to go, students! |
