100 x 100

Whether you share our stories with your friends, or faithfully pray for our work, or support us financially, we are so thankful for you. You’re part of our PKF family, and as this family looks toward 2019, we believe our best is yet to come.

We’ve set a goal to raise $10,000 in these last few days of 2018, and we’re asking 100 people to give $100 to send us into the new year. When you support PKF financially this season, you can also give in honor of a loved one. We've created a certificate that you can print at home, and give to the person you’ve given in honor of, letting them know that together, you’re changing the world and providing a better future for students.

Every dollar you give is multiplied into something greater. Whether your dollar sends a kid to camp or makes sure that the everyone in the IDADEE community continues to have access to health care and safe water. In everything, you’re ensuring that the love of Christ continues to reach people and change lives in Pittsburgh and Haiti. Help us make 10,000 times the impact in 2019!

Meet Our Students: Michaelson

We serve some pretty extraordinary kids in Pittsburgh and in Haiti. We’d love to introduce you to all of them, but that would make for a really long blog post! In this post, we’re introducing you to Michaelson!

Michaelson lives and attends school at EBAC, where he is in 10th grade. His favorite thing to do in his free time is drawing, and he’s become quite an incredible artist. He’s working and studying hard to become a doctor in the future. You can meet all of our kids here

Meet The Staff: Alyssa

The staff experience at Laurelville can be summed up in one word. Busy. Alyssa served as the Staff Counselor on our Laurelville team. She led Bible studies and created intentional environments where our team could slow down and grow in their own relationships with God while serving at camp. Read about her Laurelville experience below.

My name is Alyssa Tyson, and I was on the PKF team for Laurelville. My role was to help create a healthy, God-centered, and unified staff culture. I thought this would be a way for me to pour into the staff, but I was so much more filled and poured into while being there. The joy and depth of every staff member were inspiring. We were able to laugh, pray, cry out, have fun, and rejoice with each other. So many people from different backgrounds and situations yet brought together as a family because we all have the same Father. The friendships and relationships that I’ve built are such blessings. Hearing from people even after camp is over has been so encouraging. Each person came into Laurelville with such specific gifts, and when paired with everyone else’s gifts, God was able to flow through his body of people and students came to know him. I saw the blessings of God on this camp, and I believe it is because his followers were obeying His call on their lives. I have been challenged by the staff, speakers, and students to live freely in the life God has given us and to trust that he will take our faithful obedience and will work miracles. I didn’t know where God was taking me next in my adult life journey, but after Laurelville, I’ve been reminded that I don’t need to know all the answers, I just need to follow the One who does have the answers. His promises go with me wherever I will go.
