Summer is almost here!

I can't believe it, summer is almost here!  The kids will be out of school soon, and summer camps are just around the corner. We have been so busy lately.  It has been hard to sit down and get any blogging done, but I am resolved to sit here tonight until I have shared a little. 

Every day has had it's teachable moments, and every week God is proving His faithfulness to us.  We have had the privilege of family and friends visiting. Jason is finding out that every strange or seemingly meaningless job he has ever worked at, has given him unique skills that he uses every day.  For me personally God has me on a journey through His word that offers fresh revelation every time I turn the page.

This week we will be revealing the new name of our youth group, I will have to share that next week so I don't ruin the surprise. We actually have a car wash coming up this Saturday in Salt Springs if anyone is in the area.  We will be located at Bass Champions on Hwy 314.

Jason and I are enjoying being youth pastors, we have some great students.  We are constantly looking for new ways to teach them and reach them.  It is our hope to soon begin a bus ministry to several neighborhoods. We have so many students in our area that need love and acceptance.  It is also our goal to begin to raise up leaders among the students we have now.  Please keep us in prayer as we try to impart wisdom to them and encourage them to grow in their faith in Christ.

I can't tell you how much your prayers and encouragement mean.  Since we are only an hour away from Palatka it is hard sometimes for people to consider us as missionaries, but let me assure you we are.  We go through some of the same things missionaries on foreign soil go through. We work hard and minister to people that are hard to reach.  The enemy uses things like loneliness, depression, anger, discomfort, impatience, fatigue, frustration, bullies, and confusion to wear us down.  It is amazing though, when you call on the name of Jesus how quickly He will answer.

We are still in need of financial support.  I can't express to you how grateful we are to those of you who have been sending money.  Every donation has been right on time to meet a need.  We had paid our phone bill and insurance in advance to help as we moved, but we will soon need to start a regular payment plan again.  We are looking for 20 people, this includes (individuals, Sunday school classes, businesses, church groups, etc.) who can support us at $25 dollars a month.  This will cover our bills and other monthly expenses such as clothing, gas, etc.  However, any amount no matter how big or small is appreciated and blesses us very much.
