Fundraising Banquet Huge Success



The 2009 Step Team hosted a fundraiser banquet at Westhill Park Baptist Church on Sunday, Feb. 1st. There was a friendly atmosphere as friends and supporters enjoyed a delicious meal catered by Charlotte's Catering in Moose Jaw, listened to engaging speakers, and Spanish music, and enjoyed each other's company. Donovan emceed the evening, entertaining us with little known facts about Canada and Bolivia. The stage was set for travel to South America, by a special music group from Avonhurst Pentecostal Spanish Church leading us in worship in Spanish. Though the group was not from Bolivia, they helped to give us a taste of what the Spanish speaking churches in Bolivia will sound like to the team scheduled to visit from Regina in April this year.
Dale introduced the members of the 2009 Team, and we heard from several of the team members. The guest speaker for the evening was Dr. Tim Stabell, Assistant Professor of Mission at Briercrest College. Over 130 people attending this evening, and gave generously to support this project.
