The last few days have been amazing. What an encouragement it was to spend time with AweStar staff in Tulsa. They really blessed us. We wish we'd had time to spend with students and friends we know there as well.

The students of Mingo Valley Christian School are seeking hard after the Lord. They were very attentive to BJ's story, and at the end of the service, responded to the Lord's movement in their hearts by coming forward to take their stand as men and women of God, and taking BJ's place in serving. Glory to God for His faithfulness. And He's receiving much glory as students are seeking to put Him first in their lives. Please join me in praying for them.

Our time with AweStar staff was a time of tremendous peace in Christ. We believe the Lord is pointing us in a new direction of ministry, and will share more with you soon.


Over the weekend, BJ's friend Kelsey (tap-danced at his funeral celebration) competed in a Christian Dance competition. She donned her pink "PrayforBJ.com" t-shirt, and danced to "Praise You in the Storm" (Casting Crowns) complete with her own voice-overs, sharing BJ's testimony. She received much encouragement from judges for her inspirational means of bringing glory to our Savior. Thank you Kelsey for serving the Lord and putting Him first in your life, and pointing others to Christ.

We continue to hear wonderful testimonies of changed hearts and lives. That is what it's all about. Changing, or releasing our old selves that He might have Lordship and authority in all we do. Point someone to Christ today, by the giftedness He has placed within you!

Thank you for praying.
