We have so much to give to give to God over these past two months. Not only do we have requests and needs to give to Him, but, more than anything, we have thanks and praise to give Him.

We thank and praise God so much that Kids Camp 2025 happened! (Scroll past pictures for story)

With just barely getting all the money for camp the morning of the day we left, Kids Camp 2025 was a success with a total of 76 kids and staff! Crazy competitions were had, awesome memories were made, but, most importantly, the Holy Spirit moved in everyone's lives. Both nights of service, the Holy Spirit moved so much in the kids that I had to unfortunately end the service to be able to continue on and then get the kids to bed! It was amazing to see how the Holy Spirit moved in everyone and also seeing the effects afterward. A mom and her son came for the very first time, and they were impacted by what the Holy Spirit did during all of camp. Our first Kids Church after camp, that same boy came up for prayer at an alter call about coming back to God and having Him take control. A boy that never would respond to prayer was now seeking God for himself! These are the huge wins that Kids Camp creates, so thank you to all who sponsored kids for camp. A HUGE thank you to Von & On for their huge financial support and help in Kids Camp!

Our Teens Small Group is growing and making an impact!

After having Teens Camp back in July, we've been meeting with the teens every 1st and 3rd Saturday, with the 4th Saturday being a "serve day." We gave a challenge to the teens to have accountability partners to keep each other on track to grow closer to Christ and to get rid of all bad habits and sin in their life. Although not all have stuck with it, a few of them have, and as we talked about their progress, they said that it really has helped them remember to spend time with Jesus. We thank God for the advancement that He is doing in the teens' lives, and we pray that He continues to do the same in all of them!

We thank God for special moments with our kids!

During summer break, we had an amazing day at the park with our soccer team, thanks to Von & On! We were able to bless the kids with grilled hamburgers, snacks, and a day just to have fun! Days like this may not seem like much, but too many of our kids don't ever get to have times like this, and it's a great way to show them not only how much we care about them, but how much God loves them and looks out even for their small wishes. It's also a time for us to get to know them more and be able to build trust with them. During this day, I was able to talk with one of the kids about how he had just lost a loved one, and it was affecting him a lot. I was able to share with him about how much I cared about him and that we are here for him when he needs it. The trust and connection that was made that day with him and his mom really makes days like these so special and essential.

As a ministry, we are really in need of several things at the moment:

someone to be the sponsor of our vehicle (for oil changes, maintenance, tune-ups, repairs)
monthly sponsors for our Safe Home program
sponsors for a new home to have more room for ministry. Got quoted yesterday to build a 4 bed/2 bath home for $67,000 USD that will be used for our Safe Home and our Teens Small Group. This isn't the big building we are praying for just yet, but this is a new design to help us have a better living space for now.

"Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully." - 2 Corinthians 9:6-7
