Note – The Auction for “Sarah Rose” took place on Wednesday May 13 and brought $16,000!

“Sarah Rose” Is Going
To Auction!

Many of you who attended the 2014 ICOM in Columbus saw the truck “Sarah Rose” at the Rapha House booth. What you may not know is the back story. Last July, David (ICOM’s Executive Director) invited Stephanie Freed from Rapha House to share at a rally at his home church where Stephanie spoke and screened “Finding Home,” the film about the work of Rapha House in the lives of three young girls. At that rally, Jason & Carrie Smith were inspired to do ‘something.’ That something ended up being a 1952 Dodge pickup truck that they restored to show condition in just a few months for the expressed purpose of auctioning with 100% of the proceeds going to Rapha House.

The “Sarah Rose” truck is a beautiful work of restoration that mirrors the healing that God brings to the lives of Rapha House girls. The truck is up for auction TODAY, May 13th, at Mecum Auto Auction in Indianapolis and proceeds are to benefit Rapha House. We invite you to pray that this event will raise awareness about the problem of sexual exploitation and the way that God is using his people to bring about healing!

Please pray that all of the Smith family’s hard work translates into a great auction at Mecum! And look for a brand new video chronicling Jason & Carrie’s story this summer from ICOM.

Here are the details for the auction!
Auction Date: Today, Wednesday, May 13th
Auction Location: Mecum Aditorium
Auction begins at 10:00 am – no specific time given for the RH truck.

Update: Kansas City Hispanic Church Plant
In 2013, President Jair Castillo had a dream of planting an outreach that would extend the gospel to the 260,000 Hispanics in the greater Kansas City area. We are happy to announce that through all the process, a Hispanic ministry was birthed from the Legacy/Overland Park campus with 77 in attendance on Easter Sunday. Jimmy Viola, who was commissioned during one of the main sessions at ICOM, is leading this outreach under the direction of the leadership of the Legacy Christian Church. We pray that this will be a fruitful ministry for everyone.
