This is a bittersweet week for those of us at Evidence. We celebrated the graduations of three of our own (Brittney, Janna, and Brina) this past weekend and said goodbye to Nicole at the same time. Nicole is an exchange student from Germany who has been with us for the past year. She goes home this week and has already left Illinois. We've learned so much from you Nicole about how a small portion of the world sees the United States and about how Germans see themselves. It's sad to lose your unique perspective on things, but most of all it's sad to lose you, our friend and sister. Don't forget practicing French with me (thank you), meeting at Cool Beans to pray and study the Bible together last summer, walking at Relay for Life and playing cards in the tent when it rained, playing keep away in Tommy's pool, and all the times you had to explain the differences between how things are in the United States to how they are in Germany. Please, don't forget us. We already miss you and will love you always.
Bye

What is Evidence
Evidence was originally supposed to be a Bible study of five or six people. Those people invited more people. Then worship and dinner was added. We stopped moving house to house every week and are now permanently located at the Koch's (who are kind enough to open up their home to 20-30 high school/college students each week). What was originally supposed to be a few week Bible study has turned into a faith community that's going on it's fifth year. People have come and gone.
We eat good food and play frisbee and touch football. We worship and study the Bible. We raise money for Relay for Life, make sandwiches for the homeless, hold food and clothing drives. We support and teach each other. We're family, one with open doors. Really want to know what we're about? In the words of Mother Theresa "Come and See."
