We are in the new Community Center!!!

Well, tonight was our first night in the new trailer. We have worked SO hard and so many of you have given to make this possible. WOW! What a great night. The kids were so excited. We had around 35 kids and there was still room for more! The place looks amazing. There will be pictures coming soon!!! I promise. God has brought us so far in the past 6 years... in spite of us, he continues to bless and kids are hearing the good news. We still have much work to do, but we now have more tools than ever to accomplish the task set before us.

We talked about PROGRESS tonight from Phil. 3:12-14. None of us are perfect... Especially me... even Paul said he wasn't there yet, but we have to press on! "We lose our way, we get back up again" as the song says. We PRESS (showing a struggle) toward the GOAL (to glorify God with our lives) for the PRIZE (it will be worth the effort)! The main point is that it is a daily fight. We work 12 years (some even more) to graduate and get our diploma. There are ups and downs, but in the end the prize is well worth the struggle. Some us us have quit pressing on... it's time to get back in the fight. (I'm talking to myself)

I'm so encouraged at where we are, where we have come from, and where we are going. God is good... so good... and we are so not!!! BUT, through him we can accomplish great things.

To the fight! Press on!
