Mid July we had our quarterly family celebration of birthdays. This is Jackson and his cousins, on my side, enjoying Ma's garden. Jase and Evie are two peas in a pod. They take care of their younger cousin! We are looking forward to the new addition to Jase's family, a baby girl from China!
Also just wanted to say thanks to those of you that were praying for Mark and the mens group from church that served in the inner city of Chicago. For those of you that did not know, Mark and two other youth leaders took four middle school boys to the South side of Chicago to help repair a house and volunteer at Sunshine Gospel Ministries. God was so good. Not only did He provide protection, but the guys felt as though His hand was guiding them and providing divine appointments on a daily basis. This was a great trip for ministering to many and tons of spiritual growth!
Here are the leaders and youth that took the trip with Mark.
front row-Parker, Brody, Hank, Patton

Here are some the kiddos that they met at Sunshine ministries.
This is Shataria and her little brother. Shataria lives in Chicago, but she is like a daughter to our youth pastor and his family, not to mention very precious to us. Pray for her and her family. She will be flying to GA in August to spend a year with Tyson and his family so that she can attend school while experiencing a loving, Christ-centered family environment.
