July 16 - 28 Outreach

This outreach team included Lisa Goodell, Lisa Rush, Zack Barnill, Emmalee Scheibe, Scott Norvell, Mckenna Rush, We enjoyed them all so much and they brought so many gifts and skills to Genesis. I am always so impress when adults (as well as youth) take a week of their vacation time to come to help us an support us here at Genesis. With skilled people like this team, it was so evident that they really had a love for God as well as a love for the special kids at Genesis. Mike Unternahrer


"I’m Lisa Goodell from Fresno, CA and I had the enormous privilege of serving at Genesis! While we were there staff and volunteers from Wellspring Camp (for kids with special needs in Georgia) came down and put on a fabulous day camp for Genesis.  Wow, what fun-filled days we had – games, singing, crafts, pool and pizza day – fun, fun, fun! It was a highlight to know that teachers and parents were getting involved in trainings to help their kids improve communication and behavior issues. Our SI team was able to squeeze in some time to organize and assess almost half the students on the motor portion of the Battelle Developmental test.  What a blessing it was to see how God is using Genesis staff & families to improve life for the precious kiddos that go to school there".


What a great time we had with the kids helping lead the worship.
