The second was to provide the CCS community the long-overdue opportunity to fellowship and witness God’s vision for His school district. The first was to help raise funds toward the new junior high building and athletic fields, to make room for all the growth God has brought CCS. The 2022 IMPACT Auction had dual purposes. a moving fund-a-need through which families displayed their faith in God’s plan.the rapid-fire bidding wars for amazing getaways and experiences, and.the most competitive runners in dessert dash history,.the miraculous number of items procured,.You and your CCS community helped raise a record-breaking $385,000! This was accomplished through: From this posture of gratitude, the CCS community proceeded to outpour immense generosity and kindness. Ken Friesen, opened in prayer by giving tribute to our military, police officers, firefighters, healthcare workers, and all other first responders. In addition to honoring our very own Calata family, our superintendent, Dr. On Saturday, March 19, at the Hotel Murano, I had the pleasure of seeing the CCS community beaming beautiful smiles, embracing one another, and laughing in celebration as they came together for the first auction in three years. Hilarious generosity … this is the phrase God gave our team while we were praying over the 2022 IMPACT Auction. I am humbled that God chose Cascade Christian to be a witness to “Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth.” I am overcome with emotion as I recall the Lord’s goodness and faithfulness in showing up every year. We have surpassed well over 100 students, alumni, and parents who have made this journey to the tip of Africa.
Personally, I am preparing to lead an I-Term missions trip to South Africa on what will be our 10-year anniversary traveling there. We will have high school students serving at our elementary campuses, serving Pierce County Conservation, working with Care Net, staying overnight at Sambica Christian camp, and much more!
We have a large array of local overnight and day-trip service projects. Also, our junior high students will be taking their annual trip to Washington, DC. This year we have trips going to Orlando, Florida Zion National Park in Utah and Cape Town, South Africa. Through our I-Term program, students are given the opportunity to attend both domestic and international trips. We spent time in our recent I-Term Commissioning Chapel reflecting on Acts 1:8 (NIV): “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” We discussed what it means to serve Jesus both near, middle, and far.

We are incredibly blessed as a community to reserve a full week (sometimes more) to go out into our schools, communities, and beyond.
As I reflect on the two years since we have run a full I-Term program, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Our I-Term program is one of the things that make us uniquely Cascade Christian. Please partner with us by praying for these projects and for our students as they serve! If you feel led to give, let us know and we can get you a link!įrom Sammy Bratz, Student Life Director, HS I-Term Our 8th grade advisories are working with Food for the Hungry to raise money for specific projects, like buying oxen, farm animals, mosquito nets, a chicken farm, plows, a donkey and cart, and classroom upgrades for kids in areas of Africa. Globally, our 7th grade advisories are continuing to support Water for South Sudan by fundraising to build wells. The local projects involve such things as making food and toiletry bags for homeless people, serving at the food bank, writing letters for soldiers, serving foster care families and making Easter baskets, doing cleaning projects at school, and helping a family with their yard work. Our junior high students have teamed up through their advisory classes and will be serving in both local and global projects. This year we have been focusing on Acts 1:8 (NIV): “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” We want students to see and experience how they can serve close to home (their “Jerusalem”) and outside their local area (their “Judea/Samaria and the ends of the earth”). I-Term is our week of service when we focus on how we can become the “hands and feet” of Jesus in people’s everyday lives. I-Term is here! As we focus in April on Unshakeable Faith, we believe that nothing builds faith like serving others. From Brian Wilson, Dean of Students, JH I-Term
