We are so pleased with the work you all are doing for Christ!!! The pictures showing the excitement of the kids has to be encouraging for you all. I thought about a song we sang when I was a teen (many moons ago) about turning back to that time when you first asked Jesus to be your savior and that excitement of that "First Love", and to remember to keep turning back to the "First Love". I'm sure there are a lot of firsts for you all as a team and as individuals, but think of that first love that is being found by those you are ministering to. Thank you and thank God for you all and the work you are doing.
