“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”  Matthew 5:16

In April of 2021, more than 5,000 people participated in our very first statewide servant event. The number grew to 8,000 participants in April of 2022, and 10,000 in 2023. And we are excited to report that once again, over 10,000 joined together in service!

Also, this year SHINE! spread across four states. In addition to the Missouri District, our friends in the Northern Illinois District served with us again as well as newcomers from Nebraska District and a church in Virginia. God has truly blessed SHINE! over the years, and we can’t wait to see what He does in 2025. Shine on, Missouri District!

Thank you so much for your groups' services to neighbors, shining Jesus' light to so many all across Missouri!
