On June 28th, middle school students will make their way to Blowout Camp! This camp provides a fun and exciting environment to learn about God and build strong friendships. Over 170 students have registered for this year's Luau-themed camp. The teaching series this year will cover the life of Joseph. Join us in praying for:
|
- Keira Williamson, Shane Coulter, Rachel Tufano, Brad DuFault, and Brian Adams, who are teaching. That they'd have great prep time, and God would be giving them a burden for the students
- Quest, Brad, Jackie, and Jes as they prepare for camp, and that all functional things will go smoothly
- God would prepare the hearts of the nonbelievers coming, and students would accept Christ
- God would grow students' spiritual interest and excitement, and would ultimately decide to give their lives to God
- For good weather and no injuries. No one would need to be sent home for any reason

Growing up with a violent father and a mother with serious mental illness, Anna concluded early on that God either didn't love her or didn't care — until a crisis at 18 and a conversation with her sister cracked everything open.

On Saturday, June 27th, Akili will be hosting its 4th annual doubles pickleball tournament. The tournament will be hosted at Paddle Taps from 2-4:30 pm. Each team must register and is responsible for raising at least $250. There will be prizes and trophies for match play. Additionally, the team that fundraises the most will receive a prize!
Your donations make a difference! Akili had an incredibly successful '25-26 school year.
|
- 100% of the class of 2026 graduated and are attending college
- 100 % of students passed the 2026 English Language Arts Ohio State Test
- Akili upperclassmen earned a total of 39 college credits through Ohio's College Credit Plus program
- 2 Students new to the school started a relationship with God
|
Akili still needs to raise $45,000 by the end of June to reach their goal. Every dollar donated through the end of June will be matched.

What Does God's Calling Actually Sound Like?
|
Abbey Merker interviews John and Ruth, who served overseas for 13 years, about recognizing and responding to God's calling. They trace how individual burdens developed from childhood through short-term trips, discussing the long waiting period between sensing a call and actually moving—including wrestling with timing, seeking counsel, and watching other couples discern different paths.

When Everything Against You is Actually for You
|
A devotional from
Ryan Lowery
|
Ryan Lowery concludes the Joseph series as Joseph goes from prisoner to Egypt's second-in-command in a single morning, then faces his brothers who unknowingly bow before him—fulfilling his dream from 20 years earlier. He contrasts Jacob's false perception that "everything is against me" with the reality that Joseph controls Egypt's food supply and will save them all.
