of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus." Philippians 2:4-5 (NIV)
Looking forward to seeing Him work through you.

THE VISION
On Saturday, October 9th at WILD RIVERS WATERPARK in Irvine, STM will host a benefit outreach event. We have full use of the waterpark on this day and have the entire park to ourselves and the people you invite to attend. We hope to draw youth and families from all over the San Diego, Riverside, Los Angeles, and Orange County areas, making it the largest Christian outreach event of its kind ever to take place at a Southern California waterpark. We have amazing bands and speakers that will be on stage inside the waterpark the entire day, prayer and baptism venues, optional 5K WetNWild Run/Walk event, and a ministry fair where folks can learn about and get involved with over 30 local and Baja Mexico children's ministries and organizations. The vision (besides providing a great day of fun) is to (1) present the Gospel, (2) connect the community to the local churches, and (3) encourage all to engage in some
form of service whether it be locally or in Mexico.
HOW YOU CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE:
Purchase Your Ticket or become part of the ticket selling effort. The waterpark holds 8,000 and we have stepped out in faith that we can sell a minimum of 1,200 tickets to cover expenses for the event. This is a great opportunity for youth pastors, entire church families, schools, universities, and youth organizations to gather for a potential "life changing" day
and a great cause. For discounted group tickets or to sell tickets as a fundraiser contact Gesa at
gesa@strongtowerministries.info .
Volunteer. We already have churches, youth ministries, universities, and various children's organizations that have stepped up with volunteers to help with both the 5K and Living Waters Event, but with over 200 Volunteers needed, we still need your help. To sign up contact Kari at
karebare1@cox.net ,
Pray. This event cannot be successful without the constant prayers from countless people. We have an entire team committed to praying for all aspects of the event. If you would like to be a part of the prayer effort, we encourage you to email Carolyn at
carolynwalkingbyfaith@yahoo.com .
Sponsor a child or make a donation. For those who cannot attend, we are looking for donations to cover expenses or to sponsor a child that otherwise couldn't afford to attend the event.
Spread the word. We have posters (like the ones pictured below) that need to go up at schools, churches, colleges, companies, and businesses all over the Southland. If you have a spot or can help deliver and post them please contact Jim at
jim@strongtowerministries.info and be sure to leave a number that you can be reached at.
