Overland Park, Kansas—On Monday, June 18, one of Stonecroft's new interns, Elizabeth, attended a health and beauty fair, hosted by the Overland Park After Five. "It was really fun!" commented Elizabeth. "You could walk around and visit the different booths. Some people were giving hand massages and some booths had information on make-up and skin care. There was even a gym there with health information."

Fifty-five people attended the fair, including 20 first-time guests. "I loved the speaker," commented Elizabeth.

Sylvania, Ohio—Two years ago, Elizabeth Aouad's son became a Marine. As she looked forward to his eventual deployment, she gained a greater understanding of what it means to be a military family. Elizabeth, a Stonecroft Regional Administrator, decided to ask her local outreach group to consider targeting military families at one of their luncheons.
...
As it turned out, Elizabeth was not there to attend the luncheon—she was seeing her son off for his first deployment! However, the meeting was sensational, and out of it has come a military moms Bible study. Elizabeth shares that the women meet together every week, sharing both challenging and joyful experiences. Both Elizabeth and another woman in the study have both been able to celebrate their sons' safe returns from deployment.

Obviously, Elizabeth is thankful for Stonecroft and the way it has opened up new doors to outreach. She writes, "Through targeting, teamwork, and vision, lives are continuing to be touched in glorious ways through Stonecroft Ministries."

Elizabeth, from Riverside, California, will work with the Communications team, and Allie, from Richland Center, Wisconsin, will help with special events.
