Ashli, Mary, and Cassy go to Chicago!

This afternoon, I get to take Ashli, Mary, and Cassy to the airport so they can fly to Chicago for three days. They are going to a training to learn how to run a God-centered afterschool program that will probably be beginning next week every Tuesday and Thursday. What an awesome opportunity! It's really exciting, too, because it will be Mary's first time on an airplane. She is nervous, but still very excited. Mary's two daughters, Shayla and Abee, are on the right of this picture. Pray that Mary would trust God and her boyfriend to take care of the girls and their brothers while she is gone. She's nervous about leaving them for sure. But God is definitely able to take care of them while she's gone!
Last Sunday, Jason spoke about the spiritual world at Celebration and it got a lot of people's attention. Pray that our church would put on our armor today and be ready for Satan's attacks. He is working hard in our neighborhood, but our God is way bigger!
My husband Ryan, Judah, and I went to Penn Valley Church on Sunday morning to share a little about Urban Hope in the service. We were so welcomed and loved while we were there. They have been a big encouragment to our church through sending helpers monthly for Kingdom Kids and giving us tons of prayer and financial support. It was really refreshing to get to meet some older, wiser believers. Please pray for older believers to move to Urban Hope to mentor the leaders here. We need it!
