A few months ago our leaders completed dream boards filled with things they want to see happen in their lives. This past Monday we pulled them back out and shared with their core friends to creat goals to make these dreams become reality!

Lorie shared a quote at the beginning of the activity that fits perfectly:
“ A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action becomes reality”.

We can’t wait to see our leader’s dreams become reality ❤️❤️

The data is in and the results continue to speak for themselves!!

Since launching Core in Alta Vista in 2023 we’ve had:
* 31 graduates- 11 from Class 3
* $14,250 increase in monthly income
* $101,001 paid off in debt
* 9 participants moved out of poverty (3 adults and 6 kids)

In the last 6 months alone, our leaders have increased their monthly income by $2,348 and paid off $27,708 in debt, and these numbers are only part of the story!

While financial achievements are easy to measure, our leaders are also making great strides in other resources like transportation, support systems, emotional health, education, and community involvement.

These accomplishments are the result of hard work, an open mind, and a community willing to walk alongside one another. Congratulations to our awesome leaders, and thank you to our Core Friends, volunteers, and community partners for your part in making these victories possible!

Today we commemorate the brave men and women who have served for our freedom! Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸 💙❤️

We are so incredibly proud to give a shoutout to Aleah as she walks across the stage this weekend! 💛 💙

As part of one of our Core families, it has been such a gift to watch her growth, hard work, and determination pay off! From her many accomplishments to being named Valedictorian, she has truly worked so hard for this moment and it shows.

As she begins this next chapter pursuing her dream of becoming a teacher, we know she is going to make such a positive impact on the lives of so many students.

Congratulations, graduate! Your Core family is cheering you on, and we can’t wait to see all the incredible things ahead for you. This is only the beginning! 💜🍎 🎉

This past weekend, the men in our Core program partnered with the deacons of First Baptist Council Grove to build a deck for another leader’s family. It was one of those “you just had to be there” kind of days in the best way.

It was a beautiful reminder of what Core is truly about. Not charity, not “saving” people, but simply people loving people well right where they are.

From the moment the tools came out, so did the personality. These men showed up with generosity, skill, and a whole lot of laughter. There was steady work happening… but also some antics. 😂 The best part was the worship music blasting the entire time, because when the crew shows up, so does the soundtrack of praise!

Watching them serve was genuinely moving. They gave their time, their energy, and their hearts to support a family in a very practical way, and they did it with joy that was impossible to miss.

At Core, we believe community means walking alongside each other. Sometimes we give help, sometimes we receive it, and sometimes we do both. ❤️This day didn’t just impact the leader and her family, it impacted the men who came to serve as well. There’s something powerful about showing up for others, working side by side, laughing through the chaos, and being part of something bigger than yourself.

We truly believe the Lord blesses this kind of love and service, and the glory and praise of this project goes to Him! ❤️

Thank you boys for being people who love others SO well!

Another fantastic Monday evening came and went! We want to send a huge thank you to Council Grove Pizza Hut for providing a wonderful dinner! (Nathan Bolieu)

We had a great group discussion over Chapters 5&6 in our book “The Mountain is You”. The theme of these chapters was to examine how childhood wounds, trauma responses, and emotional patterns shape our adult behavior.
The author, Wiest, explains how we "inherit" emotional programming from our families, and how to begin returning what was never ours to carry. We spent time identifying generation “mountains” or lies that have taken over and worked to find the truth of them.

These conversations bring so much healing, a deeper connection, and understanding for everyone at the table. Core provides a space for us to think out loud and share even when we haven’t yet found an answer. ❤️‍🩹

After class, we went over to check our gardens. We must say they are doing great! We enjoyed some baby carrots while thinning, another beautiful salad, and a great harvest of snow peas! 🫛

We want to appreciate the Community Garden’s green thumb, Laura Armbrust, for caring for our gardens each day and sharing her wealth of knowledge with us! 😁
