“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
Kenneth Calvin is a brand new sponsor of The Way. He is the Head of Pennyrile Fire Safety of Hopkinsville who is putting in all the fire safety features of the new building. Thank you for helping this Christian Youth Center.
The Way is so blessed to have The Village Shoppe as a “Proud Sponsor”. The Village Shoppe deals in quality antiques and nostalgic items of our heritage. Owners Dillmon and Rebecca Cunningham (pictured) not only are sponsors, but provide pizza for students twice each month and have participated in numerous fund raisers. These career educators truly love students and want to share GOD’s love with them. They understand the mission of the LORD’s Ministry at The Way and how important it is to reach Students for CHRIST during this critical time in our Nation. Their encouragement, prayers, and support are appreciated more than words can express. Thank you Brother Dillmon and Sister Rebecca.!!! You are such blessings!!!
The American Church Group (ACG) of Kentucky has been the Insurance provider for The Way for over 3 years. They have not only worked hard to meet or exceed all of The Way’s insurance needs, but they believe in the ministry the LORD has given it. Recently, they demonstrated their support by becoming a Sponsor. ACG truly understands the unique insurance needs of Churches and even a Special entity like The Way.
as a Board Member representing Cadiz United Methodist Church. Since becoming an active Board Member and Volunteer, she has been a constant encourager and witness to Students at The Way. She has also enthusiastically and successfully blessed the ministry with her fund raising efforts.. However, not only is she a fund raiser, but as are many others on The Way’s Board of Directors, she is a Proud Sponsor. When she and husband Greg celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary, they asked the numerous invited guests to give a love offering to The Way in lieu of anniversary gifts. The Way gives thanks for Sister Margaret and her Family.
The Way thanks the Young Adults Sunday School Class at Cadiz Baptist Church for its kindness and generosity in being one of our Sponsors. When this class, taught by Larry Edmundson, was given a large love offering from someone to whom the class had been a blessing, they immediately voted to give a generous portion to the LORD’s Ministry at The Way. We truly believe the LORD will bless their donation to make an eternal difference in many young lives.PROUD sp
onsors Stacey Woods and Nacy Harper stand on one of drain boxes they modified to meet state code at The Way`s new building site. Stacey says, “I am always glad to help when I can. I’m so happy to see The Way reach out to the youth now and in the future.” Nacy said, “I enjoy giving back to the community and to help get The Way started.” They both agreed that The Way will benefit the youth of Trigg County for a long time.
The Way Christian Youth Center is thankful beyond words for free labor and/or equipment usage and expertise provided by Mitchell Construction (Thomas and Stoney Mitchell and team) of Cadiz and P’pool Concrete (James P’Pool) of Louisville. These companies talked with Sister Martha Davis and wanted to give back to the Community where they live (Mirchell’s) and/or have friends (P’Pool).
The Way thanks Coldwell Banker Service 1st Realty and owners Betty and JR Ricks (pictured ) for being proud sponsors of its ministry. Coldwell Banker believes they are the ultimate resource for professional real estate information and services for both buyers and sellers in the Cadiz- Trigg County and Western Kentucky area. They also strive to be the number one source for waterfront, bacation, and retirement homes on Lake Barkley. The Way thanks Coldwell Banker for its financial sponsorship, but also Betty Ricks for her invaluable guidance and assistance in helping with property transactions and related matters. Thank you, Coldwell 1st Realty and the Rick’s Family.
Volunteers for The Way will soon contact area businesses to raise money for a new youth center behind the Trigg County school campus.
The ministry estimates it will take approximately $450,000 to build the 11,800-square-foot facility. Thanks to countless fundraisers and the generosity of individual donors and area churches, The Way has already raised $220,000.
“We’re almost halfway to our ultimate goal,” explains Martha Davis, cochairperson of the fundraising committee. “However, with another $30,000, we can secure a bank loan. We hope local businesses will help us get there – and beyond – through their sponsorships.”
Businesses donating at least $100 will be considered sponsors. A business donating $100 to $499 will be designated a bronze sponsor; $500 to $999 a silver sponsor; and $1,000 or more a gold sponsor. Each sponsor will have its company’s name etched on a bronze, silver or gold plaque to be placed on a Wall of Praise in the new facility.
Sponsors will receive other meaningful benefits. Their donations will be tax-deductible. Their business will be featured on The Way’s Facebook page, Twitter account and website. This recognition will include a photo of the owner(s), their comments about The Way, and a short bio of the company. And their business will be listed as a sponsor in a local newspaper ad at the end of the fundraising campaign.
“Few if any of us enjoy fundraising and asking for things,” observes Carl Heckmann, cofounder of The Way. “But we are doing this for the generations of youth whose only hope is Jesus Christ.”
