Community Day!!!

Come out and join us for a Great day!

Preparing for THE KING!

We had a wonderful day for our girls ages 10-17. We shared in a time of teaching and dedication to Jesus. Our ladies taught our girls about Hygiene and Self worth. Then we had a wonderful time of re dedication after Sis. Holley taught an incredible message. She taught on Esther and also the POWER we have within us! WOW I have never heard some of what she taught it was amazing! God meet us there and we had a time of prayer and dedication. Then we went off to pampering ourselves. We hand manicures and fixed our hair. Then we got dressed to have our special dinner with our dads! It was a magical day that won't soon be forgotten. Thanks Sis. Priscilla for wanting to host this awesome event! We can't wait to do it again! I know MANY ladies took this day to be a servant to our young girls....I thank you for this!

Happy Birthday!!!

Lauren I hope you have a wonderful birthday today!!!

Crusader Camp!

Crusader camp was great! We had so much fun visiting with old friends and family. Mason had a great first year. Madison well this was her 3rd year and she had a blast. We took 17 of our Life Tab kids to camp. Only 5 had not been filled with the Holy Spirit and well 4 of them were filled!!! The 5th one was soooooo close! All of the children received great blessings from the Lord! There were 577 campers total and I think at least 40 were filled with the spirit for the first time! I took over 100 pictures with my iPhone. I loved being with the kids and getting to know them all a little better!

Look out Lufkin here we come!

Look out Lufkin here we come!!!!!

Madison's Post

Madison wrote a poem for her friend Howie. Howie has the chicken pox and she wanted to write him a get well letter. It was to cute so I am retyping this to share with you all


Dear Howie,
I heard that you have Chicken Pox. I am very sorry about that.
Here is a poem to cheer you up!
Your Sick
Lying in your bed
with bumps on your head
you have red dots
like a dog with spots
You have been sick for awhile
nothing can make you smile
all except, a friend that's the key

Written by Madison Shahan
