Rally in the Valley 2008

This year's Rally was in typical fashion an amazing blessing!!! The day was gorgeous and the atmosphere was one of excitement and fun! We had about 1,000 register and 100 staff!!! God is good He brought everyone out safely and kept everyone safe throughout the day! (that's always a big prayer for these kinds of events) :)

There were 2 preaching services where Evangelist Bryan Samms gave the gospel. We are happy to report that 43 souls were won to the Lord and 26 other commitment decisions were made!
It was so much fun spending time with the Rally team as well,they have such an infectious joy and they are a hard working bunch! We miss them when they leave and cant wait to see them next year!

I cant believe how fast time flys. It feels like just yesterday that I was blogging about Rally 2007!! Justin was able to enjoy it so much more this year even though I must admit it was a lot harder running registration with an active 17 month old! :) I think I'm gonna have to hire a baby sitter for next year! :D

Thanks to all of you who prayed and helped out that day!!

I'll be posting more pics of the Rally on our album site later! :)

So Much in March!! :)

So far it has been a busy month!! We've had groups at the camp, a couple of Birthday parties, and a Livestock Show!! This year the Camp was able to showcase a booth where we passed out brochures and talked to people about the great opportunity to send their kiddos to a Christian Summer camp. There were many that knew of the camp and had been there years ago. There were also others that had never heard of it, so it was a great opportunity. We had a tremendous response from everyone we talked to. Many volunteers from our church made it out to the show grounds to help run the booth and for them we are thankful!!! It started on the 6th and just ended yesterday so it was a long but Fun 10 days!!!
One of the nights we went just for fun and attended the RODEO!!! I love the rodeo!!! it was a blast! and Justin really enjoyed the Horses! Last year we went when Justin was only 4 months old and to go back this year...its amazing to see what a difference a year makes! He was able to enjoy it so much more!! :)
This week we'll be making the final preparations for our Annual Rally in the Valley!!! Its on Saturday the 22nd...keep that day in your prayers as it has rendered many new lives to Christ in years past.
My next endevour is selling stuff on Ebay...I have so much that i could just get rid of and I would love to make $$$ in the process...so if there are any experienced Ebayers out there let me know how its been?? (and of course I'll also donate to good causes ;) After Rally we'll be Spring Cleaning at our house so thats where i plan to find my "junk" and try to sell it...:)
