Taking it Easy

A new update on our family...Hillary is doing great and we are only three weeks away from Baby Time. Last week I went to the dentist and got a Root Canal. Jaxon and Riley went to Vacation Bible School, Sunday through Thursday. The job is going very well as I continue to become closer to my students. We are currently renovating the youth room putting in a Fellowship Cafe and a Game Room. In May we will be unveiling the new Youth Name and Website we have been working on since I got here. So, things have been going very well and a lot great things are happening at our church.

I have always been a fantasy football junkee and being here is no different. In fact I am facilitating two leagues at our church for our Men's Ministry. Also, we are planning on having Men's Monday Night Bible Study at the church and then showing Monday Night Football on the big screen so we are excited about how many men we will be able to attract for that. I'm excited to be involved with some things other than just Youth Ministry.

We'll keep you updated as we get near Hillary's due date. God Bless Ya'll.

There and Back Again

I have just returned home from an amazing two weeks of life changing experiences. First I led the 15 High School youth and leaders from our church to Nashville, TN to serve with GROUP Work Camps. While there we worked with a Food Bank Ministry, Catholic Charities and also a ministry named Provision which serves the homeless and inner-city Nashville population. We grew closer to God and each other while being stretched in new ways in our faith.

Then I returned for a short two days before taking 40 students to a camp called Caswell which is located on the beach here in North Carolina. Caswell is facilitated by the Baptist Association and so there were over 950 other youth from other churches besides ours. It was a very powerful week as we learned how to trust God and raise the standards in our lives. Three youth rededicated their lives and one youth who recently graduated accepted Christ for the first time. The next day I had the honor of baptizing him in the ocean.

Now I am back in the saddle planning for the rest of the summer and fall. Hillary and the boys are doing well. Today we saw the baby doctor and everything looks great for our due date August 13th. Please continue to pray for us and also for the youth we minister to.
