• GOD'S TIMING

  God's timing is not always our timing.  We had wanted to go to Kenya in August but we don't have the necessary support in order to meet that goal.  So, we are setting our sights on a new goal....January of 2009!  We currently have around 85% support, and we are going to trust God to bring in that remaining 15% very soon so that we can go in January.  Seth will go ahead and begin 8th grade at the Delsea MS in the fall.  Please keep praying that God will add to our team those who He wants to partner with us on TEAM AFRICA!!    Posted Jun 30 2008, 09:46 AM by Newell with no comments

• WE HAVE A CHAMPION!

  Seth's Little League team, the CUBS, won the championship for the 2008 series!  We are so proud of him and his teammates!  Seth even hit his first home run this season.  Way to go, Seth!!  A photo of the Cubs and their trophies is posted at the photo gallery on our weblog...check it out!  Seth went on a local missions trip last week with his middle school youth group from FBC, Clayton.  They did work at our church and at Camp Edge, where they stayed for the week.  They also helped at a soup kitchen in the Vineland area and in Philadelphia at Philabundance & Hands of Hope.  He had a full week of learning what it is to serve others and to give a helping hand to those in need.  He also had a great time bonding with his buddies!  :-)    Posted Jun 30 2008, 09:37 AM by Newell with no comments

• ITEMS FOR SALE
