The School Kit Shopping List is available on the Mission Projects page of our website. Thank you for helping children succeed in school!

MISSION TRIP – The WIF4C Youth Mission Team invites your congregation and the community to our first ever JOINT post mission trip report. In the past we have given a verbal report to each congregation following our trip where the youth and adults are able to share their unique experiences and how they have grown in their faith. Over the years, our team has grown; and it is no longer feasible to travel to all 8 churches with participants. We will be giving ONE report on July 27 at 4:00 p.m. at Hickory Grove Church. An ice cream social will follow in the church fellowship hall. We hope you can join us! As a reminder, this year we are headed to Pewaukee, WI, July 19-July 26. We have 26 youth and 5 adults participating including MLC members Brooklyn Behrends, Lauren Behrends, Ayla Eggers, and Delani Sharples. We ask you to pray for the mission team that we may all come together to serve the people of Pewaukee and strengthen our own faith during our time of service. Walking in Faith 4 Christ sincerely thanks the Lord for your support, prayers, and encouragement as we prepare for the 2025 mission trip. WIF4C Mission Team Sponsors: Mike & Daleen Behrends, Nathaniel & Alecia Gerdes, and Emily Volker.
