It’s hard to believe that the year is over already. Graduation is always a bittersweet time, and this year especially. We are sad to see the end of an amazing year that feels like it should’ve continued. At the same time, we look back and are overjoyed by all that God has done in us and through us. And amidst all of this, there is an incredible underlying excitement for next year and all that God is going to do. We held our graduation service this past Sunday, and it was an amazing service. It is always awesome to see how God works in our lives even on the day of graduation. It was an incredible time of sharing all that God has done in our lives through the year and to celebrate that with our family and friends. It was incredible to see all of people that came out to the graduation, people that God has affected through us and people that God has used to affect us. All glory to God for an incredible year of Masters. A year of ministry, family, growth, and so much more.

This morning we had the opportunity to go with Pastor Mike to Delaware County Christian School for a morning chapel on Media and it’s influences on us and our perceptions of everything around us. We had the opportunity to talk with some of the students and hang out a little bit before we started the chapel and then Pastor Mike spoke and we did the drama ‘Overloaded’ for the students. It was a really good time to be able to talk with kids and see how they were made more aware of what was happening in the world around them and how media is so prevalent in today’s society and the impact that it can have on our views of ourselves and our interactions with others. Many students made a commitment to be more guarded in their hearts and minds by what they watched and listened to and it was a blessing for us to see young people taking a stand against what our society considers ok. Also, please pray for our GZ rally tonight for our senior high students.

Last week we left on Wednesday for Clarksburg, WV and did a rally at Family Christian Fellowship A/G, Christina’s home church. It was and amazing time, there was a great turnout and God moved in amazing ways. It was truly a blessing to be a part of all that God is doing through the youth of Family Christian Fellowship.



Then on Thursday we did two school assemblies with the Seven Project at South Harrison High School. One for the Junior High and one for the Senior High. It is always awesome to be able to work with the Seven Project and talk to students in public schools about making positive choices. Then on Friday we did two school assemblies at Bridgeport High and one at Liberty High. Then that night we did a night rally in which we presented the Gospel. There was a great turnout of students from all three schools, and there was a great altar response. It was so awesome to be a part of what God is doing in the next generation.

Tuesday of Last week we left for our Ohio and New York tour. That night we did a rally at Fuelhouse Youth Ministry. Pastor Mark, the youth Pastor there, was Nancy’s old youth pastor. It was a great group of students that were truly hungry for more of God. It was awesome to be a part of all that God is doing in and through Fuelhouse Youth Ministry. Then on Wednesday night we did a rally at The Race Youth Ministry. This was Nancy’s home church, so it felt very much like family. We had a lot of time to spend connecting with the students, and again they were a group that was hungry for all that God has for them. It’s always a blessing to be able to visit the home churches of our students.

Thursday we didn’t have any rallies, so we spent time with Nancy’s family at her house. It was awesome to be able to get to know her family and spend time with them. This was also a much needed time of refreshment for us. We then traveled to Buffalo, NY where we spent the night at Evangel Assembly of God church.



Friday night we did a rally at a church in Liverpool, NY. The church brought in several youth ministries in the area, and it was awesome to see the unity among the different churches. The students there were incredibly open and even though we didn’t know them at the beginning, it felt like we were at home and by the time we left we had built great relationship with everyone there. From there we traveled to Pleasant Valley, NY on Saturday and did a rally at my home church. It was great to be back with family, and to see all that God is doing in my church. Finally on Sunday morning we had the opportunity to do the message during the service.

This past weekend we traveled to Dundalk, Maryland, an urban community near Baltimore, to work with the Seven Project in the high school there. We helped load in and set up sound and video equipment before the assembly and did stomp and human videos during the assembly itself to help illustrate the speakers points about substance abuse, anti-violence, sexual purity, and several other topics. We spent lunch with students and even played stomp in the school cafeteria as students were eating. At the end of the assembly we invited them out to a rally that night at a local church. Over one hundred students showed up that night and enjoyed basketball and volleyball as well as X-Box and free food, and at the end of the night we shared the gospel with them. There were students who had heard about the rally at school that morning and came out just as a way to get away from home. We were able to personally pray with some of these students as they chose to accept Christ for the first time. I talked to one student who told me he had resisted believing that God existed until God changed his heart that night.
