Thursday Cornelia and I attended the Unite meeting. Unite is a gathering of evangelical Church's' combining for one common goal; to share the gospel with the lost.
Chip Sweeney of Perimeter Church heads up Unite. This month we were discussing Compassion in Action Weekend which happens in October. It will be one of the largest outreach events of the year in Metro Atlanta
We always enjoy learning and hearing what other Christian believers are doing in various denominations and organization's. It was good to see our partner Matt Johns there as well.
Last Saturday we tried to have an end of the school year party. Unfortunately due to heavy rain the kids just did not turn out. Mama was probably not to crazy about the lighting associated with the rain.
We did manage to have a small turnout. That's not a bad thing in our eyes. It gives us time to get closer to the kids that did come.Please pray as we begin to transition into our summer program. We are seeing a lot of new kids begin to move in, but sadly some of our regulars are moving out of Villa Nueva and on to various other places.
We have been meeting with various churches in our area and plan to combine forces to run three consecutive weeks of back-yard-bible clubs beginning in two weeks. We are very proud to be partnering with the new Rockbridge Baptist Church. Our goal is to reach the community as co- partners with one common effort.
Sadly we had to say good by to a very good and faithful friend. Sam, our one year old retriever mix, suddenly became ill and passed away last Saturday just after we arrived home from the mission. We are not really sure what was wrong with him and it happened so fast that we did not have time to take him to the emergency hospital.
He was a good dog and we sure are going to miss him!
We Love You All!!!
