Summer Harvest
The summer is generally one of our busiest seasons, and 2016 was no exception. From Rainbow Express® to revivals, to summer camps, we certainly stayed busy.
The fast-paced work of a Mission Arlington® summer demonstrates how much can done when a community comes together. It doesn’t take much inspection to see that the fruit is evident.
You can see for yourself some of the results below:
- Camps: We hosted 7 free camps for 1,377 children and youth.
- Revivals: 12 sets of revival services across our community with 1 more to go.
- Rainbow Express® 28,668 children and youth attended Rainbow Express® this year in 401 locations across our community. 736 people accepted Christ;
- Student Groups: 4,867 students from 161 different church groups came to Arlington to help with Rainbow Express® this spring and summer;
- Summer lunches: We served free lunches in five locations across Arlington for children and youth without family resources for this meal. We did this for two months over the summer;
- Summer Missionaries: 30 college students served here for the summer;
In addition to these special events, we continued to provide food, clothing, medical & dental support, sports ministries, and so much more – each and every day.
We are so grateful for the privilege of walking this journey with you. Thank you so much for everything you did this summer to volunteer, give, and pray. It truly was a sweet season.
