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.

Thank you to all who contributed to and prayed for the biggest LifeBUILDERS Day Camp ever. The title this year was Jesus Christ- the True Superhero. Each and every one of 80+ kids felt the love of God, from all their counselors, and our amazing volunteers. Our director, Leslie Hoek, did a fantastic job; she teaches at Ann Arbor Christian and is a member of Grace Church of Ann Arbor. She and Brooke Ballard gave these young children all they had to give during this four week period. The morning was spent with Bible stories, skits, and music. After a great lunch, the kids had spa, crafts, gym, playground, board games, science lab, nature exploration, color guard, and yoga. There was even a talent show and a field day put on by the Evangelical Lutheran Churches of America (ELCA). Needless to say, camp was a huge success! Many of these young children will be part of our youth program beginning in September. Praise the Lord!
