Tidal wave auction
Tidal Wave Auction is back after a short 5 year hiatus! We are excited to be able to help those in need, not only in Goshen and Elkhart County, but around the world. Join us for an evening of fun as we raise funds for CCW’s ongoing ministries, local nonprofit First Light Mission, and international nonprofit Hopeful Heart.
FIRST LIGHT MISSION (formerly known as IHN – Interfaith Hospitality Network)
OUR MISSION
First Light Mission is devoted to providing a place of refuge and fresh starts for the homeless in crisis by providing resources and temporary shelter in partnership with congregations and the community.
OUR VISION
To empower and equip singles and families experiencing homelessness to find stability through sustainable housing solutions and life skills that allow them to thrive in all areas of life.
WHO WE SERVE
We serve anyone with minor age children (single parent, both parents, grandparent raising children) and single females.In 2018, First Light Mission was proud to serve 109 guests, with 20 guests served per night on average.
HOW WE SERVE
Guests that are homeless enter the program for a 30 day period. They will set obtainable goals and every 30 days they receive a review, and as long as they are making progress in obtaining their goals and making progress to a substainable life, they may submit a written request to extend their stay.The key requirement is for us to see our guests working on the root of the problem that brought them to FLM in the first place.
HOPEFUL HEART
Derrick and Katie Allen – Church planters in Corocito, Dominican Republic
In Corocito we share Christ through trades programs, a baseball program and most importantly a church. We feel that the trades program is a great way to meet people in the community and share with them one-on-one. We are so grateful for our church building, so that we can have a place were they can meet with other believers to worship our Lord and King Jesus Christ.
