A big thanks to Andrew Robinson from Grace and Chris Brooks from Moody for providing men and women to minister in our community throughout the year. These new partnerships will bring passionate men and women committed to the Lord Jesus to our community to pray, encourage youth and families, join meetings, etc. We are thankful.
From July 4th-11th LifeBUILDERS was the feature mission organization at Maranatha located in Muskegon on beautiful Lake Michigan. We presented LifeBUILDERS ten times in five days. We asked Maranatha to support us by generously giving to the redevelopment of the community center and they responded by giving beyond our expectations!! We are overwhelmed with gratitude for their generous giving. Thank you to all of those who came to support us: Mike & Belinda Agrusa, Kevin Marshall, Brooke Ballard, Dymond Holoman, Destiny Brace, Sheila Jackson, Mona Harris, Karla Chambers, Vonte Dillard, Queisha Smith-Hale, Aaron & Labretta Marsh, Taquala Johnson, Roger & Susanne Ulmer, Dre & Leah Bracey, John & Kathy Loudon, and the family of Aaron Robinson. We are thankful. 
Starting July 16th, the Evangelical Lutheran Churches of America (ELCA) started their “Rise Up” campaign where thousands of volunteers worked in many areas in Detroit. LifeBUILDERS was blessed to have nearly 1100 volunteers work on many different projects, including painting a mural on our soon-to-be community center. They even painted murals on the boards that were used to board up vacant homes. Each morning, busloads of energetic volunteers came to do God’s work in the community. Thank you ELCA for rising to the challenge and for being such a great blessing to this neighborhood. Thank you Lisa Jeffries and so many others. Also, thank you John Loudon, Mike Agrusa, Kevin Marshall and Norma Foster from LifeBUILDERS.
