Noah Wins Christian Character Award




We are so proud of Noah for winning the Christian Character award for his class. Each class had one student selected to win that award. As a parent, it is so nice to hear that our son was selected for this award.

A few weeks ago, several of the coaches at our Kids Avenue program identified Noah as someone who does the right thing in class even when his close friends in the group are acting up.

Now, no kid is perfect, but Noah continues to show a maturity and a Christian testimony that is worthy of celebrating and honoring. Some kids are leaders and some kids are followers. Noah is both--a leader among his peers and a follower of Jesus Christ.

Please pray that Noah will continue to maintain this worthy testimony before the Lord.

Also, pray for Noah and the rest of us as we prepare to take a missions trip to Guatemala. Pray for the financing to be made available and pray for our spiritual and physical safety during the trip (what with all the swine flu out there!)

GUATEMALA 2009

Coming soon! Our plea for your prayer and your financial support as we seek to--GULP--take the entire family with us on a missions trip to Guatemala this summer. Our church, GCCC, will be taking a church trip to Guatemala this summer and we will be joining them and running the program at the schools. We are also hoping to go a few days early to spend some time with Lauren and help her get prepared for the team.

Please be in prayer for our family's safety, spiritual growth, and finances as we seek to heed God's call to return to Guatemala!

Check back soon for updates about the trip and for how you can make a donation to our trip!

WORD OF GOD SPEAK!

"This is how we know what love is: JESUS CHRIST LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers...Dear children, let us NOT love with words or tongue but with ACTIONS, and in TRUTH...And this is His command: to believe in the name of His Son, JESUS CHRIST, and to LOVE one another as HE commanded us." 1 John 3:16,18,23
