Bug – O – Nay – Ge – Shig

School Assembly

Jesse Paul Smith
DJ – BennyK

On February 28th, our ministry brought Jesse Paul Smith to the Bug-O-Nay-Ge-Shig School in Bena, Minnesota for a school assembly.

Students starting to assemble to hear Jesse.

If there has been a time in our history when our students need hope and encouragement it is now!

Jesse has danced with some well known artists such as Justin Timberlake.

He is an amazing hip hop dancer.

He has spoken to over 100,00 kids about overcoming life obstacles.

Jesse’s message is “Dream! Then go after it!” The bulk of his presentation is filled with practical, real-life lessons on how to do just that.

Students like to talk to Jesse and ask questions after the presentation.

There is always a line waiting to take pictures with Jesse.

It is exciting when that “hope” shows up on the students faces!

DJ BennyK has a lot of fun with the students as well.

After the presentation, the superintendent informed us he wants us back this September.

This will be our fourth time back to the “Bug School!”

Jesse has worked with our ministry for over 10 years.

We thank Dale and Marge of Woodstock, Maryland for making a financial contribution towards this event.

We ask that you consider making a financial contribution today! Currently our ministry mails out about 300 newsletters every month and we need finances to help fund the supplies needed to do this. This includes, ink cartridges, paper envelopes and postage stamps.

No contribution is too small.

Please remember that all contributions to our ministry are tax deductible.

We appreciate your support.

In His service,

George and Lorraine Halama
