Shine!

Calling All sponsors for the “Shine” 20-year Celebration!

by Jarrett Meek, Founder/Pastor/Executive Director

Twenty years of work in one community, the perseverance, the fruit, the hardships, and the grace of God; all of it together is worthy of a celebration!  And celebrate we will!  On September 18th, we’ll host our first ever gala event at Children’s Mercy Park to commemorate 20 years of loving people from all places.  We are currently seeking sponsors for the event, both individuals and businesses, who would like to help us celebrate well. By sponsoring this landmark event, you will help propel Mission Adelante into the coming years as a ministry that is loving individuals and families from places all over the world. In its first 20 years, Mission Adelante has grown into a vital part of the Kansas City community. God’s favor has been plentiful. Yet, there is so much more to be done. We invite you to be a significant part of celebrating our past and igniting our future!

We have designed several different sponsorship levels, each with its own set of included benefits. Whether you’re a business seeking to invest in the community or an individual who loves what Mission Adelante stands for, there is a spot for you! We invite you to learn more at www.shinegala.com!

Let me close by telling you why I’m so excited about this event!

  • Who? We’ll include EVERYONE! Donors, volunteers, partners, ministry participants. This party is for people from all places!

  • Where? The venue is AMAZING! We’ve reserved the two best event spaces at Sporting KC’s Stadium. One walks has access to player locker rooms, media room and walks out to the pitch!

  • Who (again)? We’ll have some very special guests at the event. Dan Deeble, who is a long-time friend of Mission Adelante and a dynamic speaker will serve as our Emcee. Brad Gregory and his jazz group will be playing for us. And, Daniel Salloi, starting forward and Team Captain for Sporting KC will be there to share his own immigration story and mingle with guests.

  • Why? Because God is faithful! There are times to put our heads down and work, and then there are times to stop, reflect, and celebrate what God has done. Twenty years is one of those times!
