Leadership Camp was AWESOME!  Almost all of the leaders completed the stringent requirements and were treated by Calvary Revival Church to a day at Busch Gardens, a local amusement  park.   Most of the  leaders  had  never  been  on a

roller coaster, so you can imagine their excitement!  They were praising God for how He had helped them to get up early, remember all of their required items, finish their bible stories, and especially to become such good leaders over the summer.

 

Additionally 3 of the older leaders were treated to a trip to Atlanta Georgia where we were able to stay in an elegant hotel due to a generous donation from Rock Church.

 

All of the girls were in awe of the glass elevator, the view of the garden, the indoor pool and the scrumptious complementary breakfast.  Many of the girls had never stayed in a hotel or traveled that far from home. 

 

It was a tremendous blessing to be able to remove many of their fears of traveling and to see the joy in their faces.   In fact, all 3 of them wanted us to drive slower coming home, as they were so happy just traveling on the road, seeing the sites, and being together.  We thought after 9 hours they would surely be ready to go home, but they insisted that they were ready to keep on driving.  J

 

School Supplies Distribution

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

A special thank you to Joy Ministries who gave out 104 backpacks filled with school supplies for the children.  Even more amazing was the individualized ministry they did while they were in Twin Canal. 

 

Joy Ministries pulled up in a huge charter bus filled with school supplies.  Then, they grouped the families into groups of 15-20 and brought them into the bus where they gave a Gospel presentation and provided small group ministry.  Many parents were touched by their generosity as well as the love that their volunteers had for Christ.  Likewise, the students were so excited about the huge selection of backpacks and were happy to model them for us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

Another special thank you to Christian Chapel who provided many additional supplies for the children as well as enabled us to meet many of the immediate needs of the children coming in from New Orleans.

 

 


 

We praise God for how many have joined together to help those who have been affected by Hurricane Katrina.  We know that this is a time for the church to demonstrate His love for others in any way possible.  Know that we stand together in prayer with everyone who has been displaced during this time, and if you know of anyone in need in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, or the surrounding areas please contact us.  We will try to assist them in any way possible.
