News from the Center

Training for four advocates in Phillips County is nearly complete, according to Executive Director Jan Loesch, following several weeks of weekly training and Bible study. The advocates will be able to counsel clients and hopefully extend the Center's ministry in the Holyoke-Haxtun area.

That was among announcements made at the monthly Board meeting of the Center. Because several board members were unable to attend, no decisions were made at the meeting.

Other news:
Jan will host a booth at a number of festivals and fairs in northeast Colorado in the next two months.
Jan is considering serving on the steering committee for Philanthropy Days to be held in Burlington in the summer of 2008, hoping to explore fundraising opportunities for the Center.
The Center will have new hours: 9-4, M-Th, 9-noon on Fridays.
Jan will speak at Grace Bible Church in Fort Morgan on July 20th.
The Center has a new banner with the logo and slogan: "We bring HOPE to you."

Summer projects

Summer is the time for placing the Center in front of the community at different festivals and fairs throughout northeast Colorado. Jan Loesch, executive director, generally sets up the booth and meets the public with educational games, brochures, and conversation. Jan hopes to raise awareness both of the Center's ministries to the public but also to the W.A.I.T. training, which is abstinence training offered to junior and senior high schools.

Another summer project is to locate prayer warriors, people who would be willing to pray for the Center and its clients. The Center would especially like to locate people who would come to the Center for group prayer once a week, but also those who would like prayer requests to privately. Contact Jan at the center of you're interesting in either of those ministries.

Some of the upcoming outreach events include:

• Fort Morgan Festival in the park, July 21-23
• Phillips Co. Fair in Holyoke, July 27-28
• Washington Co Fair in Akron, August 1-4
• Oktoberfest in Brush, Sept. 22

Come on out and say "hi!" to Jan at one of these events!
