God Delivers!

Good Morning to all! I hope you have had a wonderful week, I have. For the first time in all the years of working with the youth, and attending Falls Creek I have never been so excited about the first time that all of my family would be there. David and I as sponsors, and youth staff and Ashley attending her 4 year and Kaylee her very first Youth Falls Creek. Kaylee has been going to Falls Creek for many years but never to Youth Camp, just Kids Camp (which are different). This years Falls Creek week was no different than the years in the past. God had plans for each one of us, to speak to us all and draw closer to each one of us. He spoke and we listened. Many decisions were made and a couple of "Echo" groups as well. "Echo" groups are 2 or 3 students getting together to meet every week and worship the Lord, pray, study and serve in the church, school and communities and spreading the gospel to all. I am very excited about their plans and love for each other.

We had wonderful cooks, and sponsors. Our pastor and camp director was awesome and all of them served with all their hearts. Already missing the laid back feel of Falls Creek.

Our Sunday Falls Creek program went really well. We had 5 Baptisms and almost all of the students shared with our church what God had done for them personally. Looking forward to seeing all the students staying with their commitments to the Lord.

On news for our adoption process: Our Dossier was sent to China on Friday, and we are praying for a shared special needs list to come out soon. We will keep you posted!!!!!!

Ashley and two wonderful friends she made at camp.

One of them they have formed a
"Echo Group" together along with another student. I am very excited about the friendship and accountability they will offer to each other.

Ashley and a group of the girls in our cabin. Very strong bonds were made this year between the girls. So excited about what God did.

Was so excited as well when David joined us on Wednesday. They students were asking for him as well. He was a great help, helping in the kitchen after part of the kitchen help left.
