Sing-a-long and school supplies

We sang, decorated folders, played movie title charades, had root beer floats and a packed house. In total we had 29 teens and 8 grown-ups! The house was busting at the seams and we all had a great time. Thanks to everyone who made this possible; Germantown Hope, West Highland Baptist, Highland House, and World Impact Chester. We can not wait for our next mixed event!

Back to School High School Musical sing-a-long

So this coming friday night we are having a sing-a-long with Germantown Hope, a church plant in Germantown Philadelphia. We are really excited, yesterday Jasmine, one of my co-leaders, Vera, one of my student leaders and I packed bags full of back to school supplies for the party. Not only will there be hanging out, laughing, and singing, every teen will leave with notebooks, folders, pens, pencils, and so much more! A GIANT thank you to West Highland Baptist Church of Highland, MI, for the supplies and the hand colored stamp in every notebook.

Peaches and Greens- Detroit

So, many of you know that some day I would love to be doing ministry in Detroit, but for right now I am where God wants me. My boss sent me this news clip and it is rocking. The woman featured is Lisa Johanon, she is a friend of World Impact and her husband is the Site Coordinator for The Urban Ministry Institute (TUMI) Detroit. She has a community garden, a fresh grocery store and a produce on wheels truck. She is now one of my heroes. My goal is to meet her when I am in Detroit in October.

update on violence

the young man shot, died last night, he was 23. Please pray for non-violent solutions. This young man was caught in cross fire, pray that guns are not answers and that the Prince of Peace will be preside in the hearts of the angry and volatile.

On Monday night there was a ton of commotion at 10th and Booth, in Chester. I used to live on this corner and a hand full of my co-laborers still do, please pray and check out the Delco Times article.
