30-Hour Famine!!

Ya know, we do a lot of things and events together. Some of them are strictly for fun, others are strictly for teaching, while still others combine the two. But I can't think of any...ANY other event that is designed to pick you up from the place you are spiritually and physically and place you in a completely DIFFERENT place spiritually and physically by the time the event is over. In a nutshell, that describes what took place from 6:00 p.m. on April 25 until 6:00 p.m. on April 26. The 30-Hour Famine took us quickly out of our comfort zones and into a "discomfort zone" that required us to look at the suffering of others who suffer more than we do, who deal with disease, illness, and yes, famine. Along that journey many of you made observations about yourself and your walk with Christ in your journals. Don't forget those commitments and comments you made to Him during that time. Those are definitely spiritual milestones where we put stakes in the ground and committed to serve Him with a whole new outlook.

Once again, a HUGE thanks to Cheryl Katrenick for your tireless labors to coordinate our activities over the course of the weekend!! It was a huge undertaking and God will undoubtedly richly bless you for your investment in our kids!!!
Here are the first 7-8 pics (out of 189) which I have been able to upload. Watch here for daily changes!!!!
