Lakeshore family and friends of the less fortunate,
For the past thirteen years, we’ve made a commitment to Making Waves because we believe people absolutely matter to God and they should matter to us, too. People all throughout our world—including right here in Rochester—are battling physical and, most critically, spiritual poverty. We believe that God has blessed us for the purpose of blessing others in need.
We’re making a commitment again to Making Waves 2025 to impact as many people as we can with the love and life-changing message of Jesus.
Please consider joining us in fulfilling the Great Commission and helping as many people as possible to spend eternity in Heaven with the Lord.
Warmly,
Vince & Sue DiPaola
