Campus Updates

Happy summer,  ministry friends, ☀️

A big 'thank you' to our supporters who purchased recreation equipment for the students. They are enjoying Wednesday recreation night with many options to get physically active which is so important in recovery. We appreciate your support.

We had a great Father’s Day for students and their families. We BBQ’d and hiked at Silver Creek Falls and ended the day with three men being baptized. Praise God for the work He is doing through this ministry.

We have lots of activities and ways to get involved with what God is doing at the Willamette Valley Men’s Campus.  Be sure to connect with Krista if you are interested in any of the opportunities you see on this newsletter.  As always, we are very thankful for each of you!

God bless,

Troy Cunningham

Executive Director

Williams Reality & Truths

Reality is… growing up with five siblings and parents who were unemployed, uneducated and using drugs to cope with childhood trauma.

Reality is… losing everything because of extensive drug use and being homeless for over 10 years.

Reality is… having no idea who you are or your purpose.

How do I know that's reality, because that WAS my reality!

But the truth is… God made a way for me to attend church and hear His word as a child, and my addiction was used to draw me near to God.

But the truth is…  losing everything gave me the drive to seek Him in everything.

But the truth is… I am a child of God, and my purpose is to glorify Him and share the Gospel.

The Book of Truth says in Isaiah 26:3 “You, Lord, give true peace to those who depend on You, because they trust You.” That's the truth!

Men of Character

Each week, the students are studying a different character quality rooted in Biblical principles and Godly character. Men who are displaying these qualities are nominated for an award and taken out for lunch as a group to celebrate what God is doing in their lives.

Prayer Request

Would you please join us in prayer to fill ALL the beds at the Willamette Valley Men’s Campus? We have spots available and a ministry team dedicated to walking with these students in Discipleship, Vocational Training, Life Renewal and Outreach.

Lord, please bring us your lost sheep.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Campus Needs

Would you consider a very tangible way of blessing our campus? We are in need of a monthly subscription of toilet paper, paper towels for our restroom dispensers and napkins.
