Same career, different country?
Scatter Global is an organization whose mission is that you don’t have to choose between your career and missions. Are you a doctor? A teacher? Maybe becoming a missionary isn’t in your plans, but you could continue to be a doctor, teacher, etc. on mission in a part of the world where Jesus is not known. Scatter Global will be at Five Oaks this weekend. Stop by their table in the commons before or after services! Questions? Email Dave Baar.

Make a difference in the life of a child this summer
We Minnesotans know that summer is short and glorious, and we try to pack as much into the warm months as possible. Because of increased travel, we need more volunteers to step in and help out in Five Oaks Kids during the summer. Summer is a great time to try serving in the cutest wing of our church, even if it’s just once a month! Interested? Email Kelly Bauman. (Anyone middle school-aged or older is welcome to volunteer!) As always, we promise adorable children, delicious coffee and the chance to spread the love of Jesus.
Help the world read God’s Word: Sign up for the 12-Verse Challenge
What would your life look like if you didn’t have access to a Bible? For over 3800 language groups across the globe, this is their daily reality. Through the 12VC initiative, 11 of the leading Bible translation agencies are working together to translate and deliver scriptures to all people. The end of this effort is in sight and Five Oaks is partnering with 12VC to accelerate the timeline. To learn more about how you can help, take a card on your way out after the service this weekend! You also can help us reach our Five Oaks goal of funding 286 verses here.
