Impact 23 Recap
by Mary Tellis, Executive Director
Thank you for being a part of ROP's Impact story on Sunday, May 7. Your presence at the event was a delight and we're so grateful that you joined us. The event keeps playing over in my head as I reflect on the many special elements of the evening. I experienced God in an impactful way and the hard work of planning was worth it all. We hope that you enjoyed it, too!
It was my honor to acknowledge the board, staff, and volunteers who show up to meet needs, build relationships, and restore lives through Christ in our East Colfax community. I pray the history of ROP, the testimonials from participants, and hearing how God continues to show up and provide needs to meet the mission of ROP resonated deeply with you. The lovely banner that contained hand prints of kids from our SELAH ministry who have "decided to follow Jesus" was a beautiful depiction of the generational transformation that ROP is blessed to be part of in the East Colfax Community.
More than 150 guests from various ethnicities, cultures, and several countries gathered under one roof at Colorado Community Church, where we were blessed to raise $57K to help support the programs and the mission of ROP.
We extend our deepest appreciation for being part of this incredible community.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6
