Hi Everyone. Sorry it has been a week since the last blog. We have no teams right now but one will be coming in on Saturday. Kayla put on an "Open Mic Nigh" here in the coffee shop a couple of weeks ago for teenagers and young adults. It went very well and we had a lot of fun. She did a great job putting it together. Here vision is to give the teens here a place where they came come and have some fun and be safe. On open mic night you can sing, dance, do drama, whatever you want as long as it exemplifies God. Here are some pictures of some of the people that got on the stage. The first pictures are of James his two daughters and his son who are members of the church. He also volunteers his time to help cook on Sundays for the congregation. They sang as a group and sounded good. It really touched my heart to see a father and his children sing gospel songs praising the Lord. It was great.
The next picture is of Wayne a teen who sang a song but, his greater ability is dancing. We tried to get him to dance but he wouldn't do it. He does hip hop, pop and lock and jazz dancing. God has truly blessed him in that area.
The last picture is of Brett who works with Teen Challenge. He did a rap song and none of us knew he even rapped. He was awesome and blew us away. We as God's people have talent but keep it hidden and I just challenge anyone reading this blog not to hide what God has given you. Be proud and share it with others.
We are preparing to go camping this weekend. The pastors are taking us on a volunteer retreat. Allen and I are excited and it seems everyone else is excited too. It is much needed rest and relaxation with our team. Time for us to bonding as a team. I thought to my self we are pretty well bonded right now but with God there is always room for more. All we have to bring is ourselves and everything else will be provided. I was told that I will not be cooking, now imagine that me not in the kitchen. I am going to try not to intervene and just relax and get what the Lord has for me. There will be a time of worship and praying together so I know God will have something to tell me. He always does no matter where I am. Don't you just love the Lord for that? He is always showing us things even when we are having fun. I will have some pictures of the trip when we get back.
If anyone has a prayer request please email it to me and we will pray for you. Until next time we love you all... Allen and Dovie
