Something for Everyone at Taste of Discovery

In just two weeks, you could be enjoying delicious cuisine and bidding on stellar silent auction items at the Taste of Discovery event in Englewood. Not only is this a fun night of fellowship for the Valor community, but the funds raised help make all international, domestic, and local Discovery Experiences possible for our students.

This event sells out quickly, so get your tickets now if you want to attend! Student tickets are available in the Discovery office for $25.

Get Tickets

Contribute to the Auction

Every year, incredible auction items like this Magnolia gift package make Taste of Discovery an anticipated event. Any range of contributions like wine, tickets, signed memorabilia, or retreat packages are welcomed and help send our students to all corners of the world. For more information or to donate an item, email Aimee Davison.

Influence Through Excellence...Through Brokenness?

BY JIM KIRCHNER, CAMPUS PASTOR

If you fly over the Grand Canyon in the middle of the day, the pilot will often get on the intercom and encourage passengers to look out the window to see this incredible landmark from 35,000 feet above sea level. It's so massive that even orbiting satellites can easily photograph it. My guess is that pilots do not typically point out corn fields in Iowa, as much beauty as there is there. People certainly do not go, by the millions, to visit a wheat farm in the upper Midwest, as beautiful as it may be too.

But this year, the 100th anniversary of the Grand Canyon being designated a national park, 10 million people are expected to make the trek to Arizona to stand on a precipice and stare into a giant scar that God has tenaciously made beautiful and awe-inspiring.

This is what he does with our lives, too.
