Pathfinder Bible Experience testing is on the book of John this year. The Lansing Capital teams both have earned First Places at each of the 3 levels of testing so far: the Area level, Conference level and Union level. Of the 32 teams tested at the union level from Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Lake Region, only about 17 teams will be traveling to Tampa, Florida, in April for the Division level testing.
PBE is in need of funds to help offset the travel cost for these families. if you would like to support them through giving of funds, please mark your tithe envelope PBE. Thank you – every amount is a blessing!
