The Reveal Continues

Learn to do good.
Seek justice.
Help the oppressed.
Defend the cause of orphans.
Fight for the rights of widows
- - - Isaiah 1:17
 

On September 30th, 2007, Hillcrest revealed several initiatives designed for Hillcresters to communicate the practical love of Jesus to the Sioux Falls Community. As each new year begins, the Reveal continues, as we celebrate the goals we have met and continue to strive for those not yet realized. Funds for The Reveal are separate from Hillcrest’s budget. The monies came from Hillcrest’s sale of land in 2008 and were committed to being given away to local and global missions. We'll keep you updated of what's happening so far with the Reveal's initiatives, how successful Hillcrest has been with each opportunity, and the ongoing ways you can partner with the Reveal.
