SO TRUE!!

Beyond Borders

What is Beyond Borders??

Beyond Borders a group consisting of 3 different churches of 3 different denominations that have put their differences in beliefs aside for one purpose The Children. We all believe theres one way to Heaven and thats through Jesus Christ Gods Son. Every Wednesday Night We come together to Worship. Children of all ages come We have a live band after worship We head to class for our bible lesson after that dinner is provided. Then the children are taken home. It is a wonderful feeling to know We can put our differences aside and come together in unity for the children. Satan will try in every way to destroy this your prayers are greatly appreciated.

Last Friday night We had a night just for our youth We had music and testimonies as well as pizza and games These pictures were taken that friday.

Food Bank!!!!

 Every month on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday We volunteer at a food Bank that is held in Martin City at there Head Start building. Here are some pictures. This is a awesome way to help those in need!!

A Challenge

 Just today I learned October 15th is Baby Loss Awareness Day. I have never lost a child but I have friends who have and I think this is Awesome. They do different things each year to honor and remember the babies. This year this is what they did  

	October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day across the world. We would like to invite you to take part in the global 'Wave of Light'. Simply light a candle at 7pm and leave it burning for at least 1 hour to join us in remembering all babies that have died during pregnancy, at, during or after birth.
	This can be done individually or in a group, at home or in a communal space. Wherever you do this, you will be joining a global wave of light in memory of all the babies who lit up our lives for such a short time.

 I challenge each of you to pray for those who have lost a baby whether recently or years ago and next October check out this website and if its lighting a candle again for 1 hour I challenge you to participate and take that time to pray for the families.

Surprise Surprise Surprise!!

October is Pastor Appreciation Month. So I decided we should have a meal after church for Lee. I asked the woman suggestions on when or if they had any other ideas. They said that sounded great. Then Becky said can we do it next week because Me and Steve will be gone after that (they leave for the winter). So thats how we got our date it was settled October 9th it was.  We needed to let him know we were having a meal so he wouldnt think anything was up when he saw us carrying in food. So we told him We were having a dinner for Becky and Steves last sunday. Everything worked out perfect. He was very surprised and We had a very emotional service. Many people spoke and of course I think We all Cried. The children were already planning on singing So some of the pictures were of that.  We are so lucky to have Lee and Joy and there kids here with us. They do so much and it felt great to in just a small way give a little back. All in all the day it  was a GREAT success Everyone left full and happy. Keeping a secret and planning a event in a short amount of time is and was very stressful but it was so worth it. I will definitely do it again :)

My Sunday School Class

When we got here Joy asked me while she was gone (on vacation)  to teach her sunday school class. When Joy came back she asked me if I would like to keep teaching it. I said ok but to be honest I was not the least bit excited. Now after 3 months Im not sure I'd give it back. Those kids have helped me so much. Whether its seeing them learn stories that they couldnt tell me when I first started or just if im having a bad morning making me laugh. It feels good to know that you are planting seeds that will hopefully change their lives one day. I have learned each childs personality in such a short time, and I love each of them. Who knew stories I have known my whole life and simply little activities Would change my life. I pray that  the simply  things I plan each week are making a difference in those 6 little lives.
