Dear Friends,

Families all over the DC area are in financial need, but they’re also in need of the Gospel message of Jesus. So every year, McLean Bible Church organizes Angel Tree to share Jesus with these low-income families. As part of Angel Tree, the Internet Campus is partnering with Daybreak to help parents from Lincoln Heights purchase gifts for their families at ten cents on the dollar! This unique opportunity gives parents a sense of empowerment in providing Christmas for their families and it also becomes an open door for us to share the true meaning of Christmas with our neighbors: Jesus Christ!

This year, in order to better meet the needs of the families in Lincoln Heights, we have created gift registries at Target and Walmart with specific desired and useful items for children and adults in DayBreak’s community. Please use the following links when purchasing your gifts online:

Target
Walmart

You may purchase your gift(s) online and have them delivered by December 15 to:

DayBreak
5017 Banks Place NE
Washington, DC 20019

Thanks for partnering with us to impact our community. See you online!

The Internet Campus Team

PS: There are also volunteer opportunities to help price the gifts, setup and run the Christmas Store. Click here for more information!

Registration is currently open for our Fall class starting Thursday, Oct. 13, 2011! Click here to register.

Join us at 8 PM ET this Tuesday, Aug. 23 at churchanywhere.org for our second interactive Q&A webcast covering James 2! A panel of Frontline pastors will be answering your questions LIVE on any topic related to the chapter. To join the live event and discussion, simply go to churchanywhere.org. We’ll open the webcast 15 minutes early. Submit your questions through the chat room or on Twitter using the hash tag #FrontlineDC. You can submit your questions early by sending them to churchanywhere@mcleanbible.org.

The Internet Campus is teaming up with Daybreak to serve inner-city children in Washington, DC by donating back-to-school supplies! Here’s how you can help.

1.     Download our school supplies lists (located on pages 2, 3 and 4)

2.     Choose one of the three supply lists (K-5, 6-th Grade or High School)

3.     Purchase each item on the list. You can do this either online (Amazon.com, Target.com, etc.) or at your local store.

4.     Ship the school supplies Daybreak by August 16:

Daybreak Ministry
5017 Banks Place NE
Washington, DC 20019

That’s it! Thank you for donating to this amazing cause. If you have any questions, please contact Kim at kim.mccullough@mcleanbible.org or 703-639-2000 ext. 3308.

We hope you had a great Independence Day weekend! You can take part in our Operation Kindness outreach from wherever you are around the world! Simply purchase your donations and ship them to:

McLean Bible Church
c/o Internet Campus
8925 Leesburg Pike
Vienna, VA 22182

To make things even easier, you can purchase the items from any online retailer (Amazon, Target, etc.) and have the items shipped directly to the church. The Internet Campus team will make sure your donations are shipped off in care packages to our deployed troops. Please check out for our list of suggested items for care package donations. Operation Kindness holds packing nights each month, so there is no firm deadline for donations.

Finally, don’t forget that when you submit a “thank you” note, we will transcribe your message onto a postcard before sending it over to give it a more personal touch.

If you have additional questions on how you can support our troops, please contact churchanywhere@mcleanbible.org.

For those of you who missed Frontline’s Interactive webcast, you can now watch it from start to finish online. Thanks to everyone who logged in and participated in this pilot run for what we hope becomes a regular event! We had a lot of great questions come in and although we weren’t able to answer all of them, the panel covered a lot of content in a short period of time. Enjoy and stay tuned for more information on the James 2 Q&A Webcast!

Last month’s shipment of school supplies, clothes, and toys to the Bazaar school at Kandahar Air Field in Afghanistan went so well that we have decided to do it again! 

Last time the Brownies showed up to help pack

One of our Internet regulars, Jonathan, alerted us to a great serving opportunity:

There is a Bazaar School set up at the local market on Jonathan’s airfield in Kandahar where scores of vendors come in with their children. Prior to the start of the Bazaar, the kids attend a school the NATO community in Kandahar has set up for them. There are now almost 100 kids attending each week.

We have items to send over, and this time we need your help packing it!  We’ve teamed up with the Clothing Shop and Operation Kindness Ministry.

What: Packing care packages for children in Afghanistan
When: 7:00pm, Tuesday May 10th
Where: McLean Bible Church, 8925 Leesburg Pike, Vienna, VA 22182
Contact: Owen.Paun@mcleanbible.org
