Summer Beach Day for our students in Haiti
Each summer the students who have graduated to the next grade level in Haiti are blessed to go to the beach for the day! This day is the most special day for all of them! Living in a country that continues to be in extreme turmoil and unrest, a day at the beach for them is like a month at Disney for most children in America. Most students are the first in their family to attend school. This beach day helps to keep them focused throughout the year to do well in school and make the most of their education. The cost for these students to go by bus to a local beach and have a cold drink to go along with the bagged lunch that they bring with them is about $1000. Each year there is about 100 students that go, along with adults who help to watch them in the water and bring them home safely.

We appreciate your help in meeting this need again this year!

Maple Leaf Ends and Atlantic City Begins!
Maple Leaf Tutoring Program – 14 years ago Step of Faith joined New City Fellowship of Atlantic City on a week long mission trip in AC. The following year, because of that trip, the Maple Leaf Tutoring Program began here in Brick. Last week we had our end of the year party for the kiddos at Maple Leaf and in doing so finished our 13th year with them. While our group of students remains around 10, the relationships and memories continues to grow! We would like to thank all the volunteers for their time, prayers and effort each week to help bring a calm, inviting, atmosphere for the students. The creative activities provided by Sue M. opened up their minds to so many new things! Thank you to Tom O. for providing the bible lesson each week that we pray the kids will remember for years to come! And thank you to Rich & Amy B. from Shore Fresh for providing the delicious meals almost every Tuesday! Together we have been able to provide a safe environment where the kids know that they are loved and can be kids. To all the volunteers… THANK YOU!! We look forward to the fall and a brand new year!
Atlantic City Mission Trip – As ML finishes, our AC Mission Trip is ready to go!! Led by Kaity & Eric P. this year, we are all looking forward to how the Lord wants to use us for the week alongside the New City crew! The months of preparation are almost complete as we are about a month away from leaving. Please pray for our team of youth and adults as we finish our preparations and go to AC from July 18 – 24 to share the love of Jesus with the communities of Atlantic City!
