MARCH MISSION OF THE MONTH is designated for Kyle and Jayne Wenig and their ministry with Athletes in Action on the campuses of UW-Madison and Edgewood College. Here’s a little brief description from the Wenigs in regard to their work: “We are so excited to be a part of what God is doing in the lives of athletes and coaches through Athletes in Action!  As college campus missionaries at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, much of our ministry is made up of leading Bible studies, pre-game chapels, one-on-one discipleship, evangelism, and growth groups. Each year, we also have the opportunity to join other college athletes as we send them around the world to use their platform through sports to share the ultimate message: Life’s greatest victory is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ!” To-date they have received $779.64

The Mission of the Month offering for April will be designated for Love INC in Sheboygan County. Love INC helps churches help people through their GAP ministries, through New Way classes and they are looking to expand their ministry by establishing a mentoring ministry—all in the name of Christ. Love INC is restructuring staff to help fulfill its mission and as part of that restructure they are seeking to hire a Director of Development.  Your giving to Love INC will be greatly appreciated.
