Eastern Caribbean Cruise 2008

Stan and I returned last night from an incredible 7 day cruise to the Eastern Caribbean. We visited some of the most beautiful ports: Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Maarten. While on our cruise we ate, read (yes, even Stan!), shopped, slept late, laid out in the sun, and made some new friends!

Stopped Escalator

MS Camp '08

1 amazing speaker (Freddy T) + 1 incredible youth minister (my hubby) + 250 middle school students + 20 awesome leaders = Unbelievable MS Camp

This week at Horn's Creek was absolutely incredible! Many students and leaders made decisions to surrender all to the Lord! Lots of students made the decision to rededicate their lives to Christ. And, some students made decisions to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior for the very first time! The most amazing thing to see is this group of Middle School students worship their God! It is like nothing that you have ever seen before.  The students arrived at Horn's Creek on Monday and expected God to show up...and boy did He show up!!! Please be in prayer for the students as they have all now returned to their everyday lives to remember what they learned at camp and the decisions they made.

Here are a few fun pictures from the week!

The entire group!

Stan Is Home!!!

Praise the Lord...Stan returned late on Saturday night from his 11 day mission trip to Thailand! I must say I was one happy wife on Saturday...I missed my hubby! 

I am constantly amazed by how Stan allows God to use him to reach students here and far away. Please be in prayer for him as he recovers from major jet lag and also finishes preparations for one of the biggest weeks of our year...CAMP! We leave on Monday and are sooooo excited! This year we are taking 250 students and are anxiously awaiting to see God work in the lives of our students during camp!

I love this cute picture from the trip!
