CAMP, BABY!!!

He just can't control it.

It oozes from his soul and flows from his head to his toes.

Truth is, my child looooooves to dance.

Just the other night I was rocking Josiah to sleep on the porch since the lights were out. He was ALMOST asleep! Until the ice-cream truck, with its distinct music, came driving down our street.

He literally jumped out of my lap! He had to get his groove on! His feet, his head, his hands... everything had to move to the music!

Truth is, there is something that gets us going!

Sports, music, art... 

For us, it's working with young people.

Although they also get on my last nerves too, there is something that makes us want to get up and DANCE when seeing a teen's heart changed for the glory of GOD.

We had the blessing of seeing many of our local teens and others from surrounding churches come to a saving knowledge of CHRIST and rededicating their lives to the LORD. What a thrill to see young men and women being trained up for HIS glory!!!

About 275 arrived at camp on Tuesday, rearing and ready to go! With the help of the program team, the counselors and the Highlands staff we had an AMAZING week.

The games, the songs, the messages. All pulled together with the theme "I AM THIRD." for an incredible time. So much so that many young people went home in tears. 

Pray for those that had made decisions. Many don't live in a home that supports and encourages them in their mission to live godly lives. Pray that they will link up with a solid, Bible preaching church and that they might GROW!

Speaking of growing...

In case you haven't heard. My belly is growing. And although the food at camp was ON POINT, it wasn't the rice and beans... IT'S A BABY.

We're thrilled to announce our addition and we look forward to meeting him/her in February.

It appears we're already trying to fill our new-to-us van already, with our very own home-grown baseball team :)

Just kidding! But we are truly grateful for the van and how it has already been used in our ministry. We're currently looking for a trailer to store the baseball equipment on the back, but we'll post when that becomes available.

It seats about 15-20 and the interior was re-covered with material that wouldn't absorb the sweat of nasty baseball players. Heehee.

So now you're all up-to-date. And we'll have plenty more to share this coming week as we continue to serve alongside some precious friends and mission teams. SO STAY TUNED!!!
