it or not, the name of this town is changed to “New Dublin”

Day parade and Irish festival!
Located in eastern Wisconsin and about two hours north of Milwaukee,
New London sits on both the Wolf and Embarrass Rivers.
New London has a population of around 7000, with many smaller
towns in its surrounding area containing residents who could
use a helping hand with a wheelchair ramp, drywall project or
a new paint job.

TEENSERVE WELCOMES BACK...
MIKE GUZZARDO
Mike Guzzardo was our Speaker in 2005 where we witnessed many teens who walked out of our evening programs with a renewed passion for Christ. We are pleased to announce that Mike Guzzardo will be with us again in 2010! Mike Guzzardo grew up in Northern California. After turning his back on the Lord as a young teenager, God grabbed a hold of Mike`s life after high school and began to fashion in him a heart of uncompromising commitment to His Savior. Upon graduating college with a degree in Business Administration, he spent the next six years serving full time at Teen Mania Ministries where he helped mobilize over 20,000 students and young adults for short term mission trips. During his time at Teen Mania, God also began to cultivate a gift in Mike to boldly proclaim the gospel in a variety of different forums to groups of all ages and religious backgrounds.
For the last several years Mike has dedicated the entirety of his energies to traveling the United States and the world inspiring people to a deeper commitment to Christ. Mike is a frequent speaker at conventions and conferences such as "Acquire the Fire" with over 200,000 in annual attendance. He has also proven to be a sought after speaker for retreats, camps and churches both domestically and internationally. Mike also just finished co-authoring his first book entitled "Battle Cry for My Generation" with Ron Luce.
Mike currently resides in Rockwall, Texas with his wife Alicia. His passion continues to be encouraging people to live with a whole-hearted commitment to Christ and to walk in the fullness of the potential that God has placed inside of them.
