Recently a friend from Zimbabwe, Tatenda Gunguwo, visited Mercy Hill Church, our sister congregation in Munster. Tatenda leads Eternal Word Ministries, a network of churches in Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Mozambique. During his visit he made us aware of the cholera crisis in Zimbabwe’s capital city of Harare. Cholera is a severe and often fatal disease that is spread through human waste and contaminated drinking water. At this time, the municipal water supply in the capital city is part of the contamination, and thousands and thousands of people are sick. As David shared with us on Sunday, we can do something about this by drilling a well at Tatenda’s church property that can provide clean drinking water for the surrounding community in the Kuwadzana neighborhood of Harare. We are sharing the cost with Mercy Hill Church. Tatenda’s network of churches is also contributing from within Zimbabwe. We expect the total cost to be about $8,000, and the Zimbabwean believers have already raised $300 cash and $700 in pledges. Now it is our turn: the need is urgent, and we can help stop the spread of cholera in this part of the city by acting promptly. We’re inviting you to come this Sunday with your contribution towards this project. To donate online visit our webpage at Crosspoint.family. Thanks so much for your participation!

As news broke of Jill Douglas’ passing early this morning our elders have been reflecting on the impact of her life. John Leitzel’s thoughts summed it up perfectly, "Jill’s story has been a story of victory—not in occasional spectacular ministry/faith events (though her trip to India was certainly a highlight), but rather of victory in the everyday battles of faith. Jill had victory in the daily battle for joy, in the daily battle against bitterness & unforgiveness, in the daily battle for courage instead of fear, in the daily battle to consider others more important than ourselves, and so forth. Hers is the testimony of innumerable daily victories and now she’s entered into rest. We’re going to miss her so much, but I’m so thankful that now even in death she has the final victory: “He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.” (John 11:25-26)" Please continue to pray for Jill's precious family during this time of loss. A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, August 12 at 6:30pm at CrossPoint with a visitation to follow with light refreshments.

LifeLink picnic tomorrow, July 1 after church at Redar Park in Schererville. Don’t forget to bring lawn chairs!
