The start of a new school year seems to come faster and faster every year. As much as I hated to go back to school when I was growing up, the Summers seemed to last forever. They say the older you get, the faster time flies. I do not know about that, but the relative value of three months does decrease!
We are excited about back to school time this year because there are so many opportunities out there and we are working hard to take advantage of them by seeking out what God would have us do this Fall.
First, we are working with churches to try and schedule as many volunteer workshops as possible for the Fall semester. That means that we will be contacting many of our old friends to try and solidify dates as well as meeting many new guys and developing relationships with them.
Second, we are also planning our Lead ’07 Area-wide back-to-school events. Last year, we were able to hold Lead events from August until December. We are prayerful that we will be able to impact new churches and students thought these events this year.
Third, we are getting ready for our favorite and most successful support-raising event of the year, the Legacy Ministries Dove Shoot at Cedarcrest Farms in Faunsdale, Alabama. This will be our third year to do this event and it just gets bigger and better every year. We are looking for ward to being with some old friends and meeting many new one as we enjoy a day of good fellowship, good food and (Lord willing) a ton of birds.
Finally, we are always working on building partnerships with ministers, churches and ministries. There have been many interesting and exciting possibilities come our way this Summer and we are looking forward to seeing how God will use some of them to impact Legacy.
We are thankful to those of you who prayerfully and financially support us. The Summer months are always hard, but your faithfulness is a blessing to us and to the Kingdom of Christ through Legacy Ministries.
I am particularly thankful to those of you who prayed for Rayanne and baby Zachariah during their stays in the hospital. They are both healthy, home and happy. The Lord is exceedingly good!
