Thank You NCS Students for Your Amazing Generosity!
December, 2006
Luke 6:38 (New Living Translation)
38 Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.”

NCS students made God look good by giving an incredible
$1050.00 for the foster children of The Arrow Project. This
amount was raised in only one week! Thank you to the students
who boldly requested the funds from their peers. Praise the Lord! This financial donation was used to purchase 70 Wal-Mart Gift Cards, which are valued at $15.00 each. These early Christmas presents were presented to the children at the Cougar Christmas Party, which was held at the Arrow Project on Saturday, December 16, 2006. Your effort certainly demonstrated what it means to
“think eternally.”
Thank you, Jesus, for the giving hearts on this campus. These students love you and showed your love by emptying their pockets for the needy and deserving children of The Arrow Project. Lord, I ask you to continue to protect this student body. Please stretch them into a greater understanding of your love and calling. Please also reveal your unconditional love to foster children everywhere. Help them know of your deep desire to adopt them as your children. In Jesus Name, Amen.
As an added incentive to give, a grand prize Christian Music Basket was assembled through the support of various popular 1960 restaurants and retailers. The festive basket contained almost 25 new Christian CD's from popular artists and gift cards/items from Jason's Deli, Grapevine Books, Panera Bread, AMC movie passes, Chick-Fil-A, Starbucks, Barnes-N-Noble, and Ben & Jerry's. Wow! God is good! Growing this jolly-filled basket was not my original plan, but God kept blessing my efforts as the basket continued to grow in value until it was worth over $300.00!
 And the winner is…Drum roll please…DIANA WALLISON! Her name was drawn by an 8th grade representative, as the 8th grade raised the most money of all the secondary grades (I already saw her sharing CD's with her classmates). May the Name of the Lord be praised!
