April Stories
As we wrap up an incredible school year of ministry, I want to personally thank you for the vital role you’ve played in helping us reach teens across western North Dakota and eastern Montana with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. Your faithful generosity has allowed us to be present in schools, at community events, and in the lives of students who are searching for hope, purpose, and love. Because of you, we’ve seen real transformation in hearts and lives—and I can’t thank you enough. We're especially grateful for your support during our recent banquet season—Williston’s banquet raised $112,000 and Tioga brought in $28,000! We’re excited for Dickinson’s upcoming banquet in May, and we're praying for another impactful evening.
The ministry continues to grow into new communities, and it’s humbling to watch God open doors that we could have never opened on our own. As we look ahead, we’re gearing up for some amazing end-of-school-year activities, summer outreach events, and, of course, summer camp—always a highlight for our team and the kids we serve. These moments often become milestones in a teen’s faith journey. Thank you for standing with us as we chase after lost and hurting teens with the love of Jesus. It’s an honor to partner with you—and we’re just getting started!
Building meaningful relationships with teens takes time and intentional investment—but those connections are where transformation begins.
On Easter Sunday, our middle school girls’ group chat lit up with “Happy Easter” messages, and one girl even said, “Happy Resurrection Day.” In a culture that often misses the meaning of the holiday, it was an encouraging moment that these girls are beginning to understand who Jesus is.
Just a few weeks earlier, we took that same group on an overnight trip to Minot over spring break. It was full of fun, laughter, and conversations about faith. One girl even reached out afterward to ask for photos to post on her social media—proof that the trip meant something. Moments like these are only possible because of your generous support. Thank you for investing in the lives of teens who need the hope of Christ.
