Give Now
Provide Encouragement Cards
We would love for churches and individuals to write encouragement cards for the students to open after they depart the MK retreat, our goal is to collect 1,000 cards of encouragement that will be divided up and sent with each MK to open through the year at college to know someone is praying for them.
If you are interested in providing cards, contact Sarah Schmitt at sarahschmitt777@gmail.com.
