We had such an exciting and special Celebration. We were thrilled to have visited with us, our friends from the Amish community. Before the Celebration we enjoyed Indian food and fellowship. We were happy to show them how we process our donations in the Storehouse. At the shelter they observed our Celebration evening, with a possibility of returning to do ministry as a family (they have seven beautiful children and “almost” three grandchildren). Damon Stinson joined us to lead worship! Damon is fantastic with his love for others, his servant heart and his musical talents. Michael and I LOVE singing with him! Damon’s beautiful bride-to-be, Ivory also joined us for the first time. The contribution was lovely from both of our visiting couples. As always, I couldn’t be more grateful for our fantastic team! Each member of “this body” works so well together. They are so valuable and irreplaceable.

The ladies and children were sweet, the atmosphere good and the overall evening wonderful! I am so grateful to report that Mark and Ruby wish to join us again! Next time they will join us with their family. They will lead worship singing in four part harmony and Mark will be speaking as the Holy Spirit leads. It will prove to be very special.

Let us celebrate those who publicly acknowledged their need for Jesus, Savior, Lord and King!
