| “The Abundant Life Ministries (ALM) partnership has been a tremendous blessing to our ministry. We have always been prone to giving money in times of need to many worthy causes but to be able to become personally involved with the people has really opened our eyes. Instead of just talking about helping the poor the opportunity has been provided for our congregation to do it. The tutoring relationship at Dickinson Elementary School is just one example of getting involved. There is a high level of excitement among our membership that has transformed our Christian witness. Deacons are asking questions they didn’t ask before. Our worlds have been broadening through this relationship. It is easy to loose sight of what is really important being inwardly focused on issues within our own organization. We have as much to learn as we have to give and we have learned a tremendous amount from each other through the relationship with ALM. For S. Grandville, our partnership has been a positive bridge building relationship. Multiculturalism has become a reality.”
Dan Mouw, Pastor South Grandville Christian Reformed Church
