Golden Eagles - Tue, May. 8, 2012
Fourteen members of the Cornerstone community (Faculty, Staff, and
Students) will be leaving for Zambia today. The team is led by Chip
Huber (Dean of Spiritual Engagement) and will include Soccer Coach Mark
Bell and his wife Catherine Mueller-Bell who teaches at Grand Rapids
Theological Seminary, Matt Haller who works in Spiritual Formation, and
10 students (Alyssa Bowerman, Josh Feenstra,
Isaac Grotenhuis, Adam
Homan, Terry Huber,
Josh Rimel,
Kelley Ritsema, Emily Smeed, Riley
Steen, Abrielle Tatro, and Sarah Wheelock). They will be partnering with
Jubilee Ministries as they
engage God's vision to change the world. They will be involved with
schools and will be using sport to advance the Gospel of Christ. They
will play soccer matches and hold clinics for children along
with netball games as we use sports to help bring change in a
community…we will
participate in worship and dance and music and discussions as they
celebrate and
talk about life and faith in America and Zambia with other students.
They will
get to work and share and teach God's Word alongside and get to know and
become
brothers and sisters with those on the frontlines of God's Work in the
African
church…and they will be able to distribute life-giving bed nets that can
continue to
help respond to one of the most challenging epidemics (Malaria). Both
the men's and women's soccer team have raised money over the past two
seasons to help purchase the bed nets through a promotion called "Night
of Nets".
