GOD HAS PROVIDED NEW DANCE TEACHER!  We have been praying for seven months for someone who has a heart for children and the skill to teach gospel praise dance.  Praise God He has provided once again!  One of our volunteers, Connie Caldwell, will be officially taking over the position starting August 9^th.  We are extremely thankful for her, and the children are so excited about learning new dances for Jesus.

It is very powerful to see the children dancing for Jesus.  They all love to dance, and what better outlet for them than to use their talent to reach the lost.   This month the Lord poured out such blessings upon us as we joined Calvary Revival Church in an outreach to Portsmouth.   It was such a thrill for the United In Him dance team to participate in this event where many people received Jesus for the first time, and many others re-dedicated their lives to Him.  The children also learned the power of God to overcome their fears and how great it is to use your gifts for Jesus.

 GOD HAS ANSWERED OUR PRAYERS!  From the time United In Him was established, we have had the desire to have a full-scale tutoring program equipped with high-speed internet, advanced software programs, and an interactive website where supporters can write to the children sending them their prayer requests. 

Well, last month one of our volunteers, Susan Baroody, talked to her college professors about becoming United In Him’s first intern where she would earn college credit for establishing a website, networking all of our computers, and refurbishing all of our old computers.  Therefore, we are elated to announce that you can find us at www.unitedinhim.org beginning the second week in August.

Higher Learning, the full-scale tutoring program, is also celebrating its success after only a month of inception.  This program is literally transforming the children’s self imagine and how they see their future.  Many of the children who are in the program will be repeating the 4^th grade next year, which left them feeling frustrated, unintelligent, and wanting to give up.  But now they are excited about learning and are seeing their true potential.  We wish all of you could experience the excitement of seeing their eyes light up when they finally understand a very difficult concept.  They now realize that they are capable of achieving anything, and that all they must do is focus on Jesus first and then listen closely to what the teacher is saying.

Higher Learning begins each class with prayer and a Bible lesson, as we believe that true wisdom comes only through His Word that He will enable them to succeed in all areas of their lives.  The children learn Math, Reading and Writing in the morning, followed by an enrichment class where higher level math, science, anatomy, and Spanish are introduced. 

Higher Learning has taught them that in Christ they can do all things.  The children now believe that they will not only pass the 4^th grade, but be Honor Roll students for the rest of their lives. United In Him is committed to helping them achieve this goal as they will receive weekly homework assistance as well as additional training throughout the school year.

The Leadership Team prepared all month to honor their mothers at the Mother/Daughter party.  The children made cards, plants, and homemade sugar and chocolate chip cookies.  During the month we focused on ways in which to bless their mothers at home, as well as how to more effectively pray for their mothers physically, spiritually, and emotionally.  The children have learned that there is a lot more responsibility that comes when you know that God has made you a leader.

The party began with the children praying for their mothers, a Bible lesson on Jabez, and then a Bible trivia challenge.  The mothers got actively involved and were excited to see how much their children have learned.  While enjoying all the snacks their children had made, together they painted picture frames and made bracelets.  At the close of the party, United In Him blessed the mothers with the book, The Prayer of Jabez, a United In Him T-Shirt, and a Bible.  What a wonderful miracle!
