2010 Summer Plans

Watching the World Cup every single day!!! Haha Im really stoked for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa but thats not the only big thing going on this summer.

To let everyone know, who's interested that is, this summer I will be interning under Children's Pastor Brandon Diehl at Trinity Assembly of God in Baltimore Maryland. This is an exciting opportunity the I know God has blessed me with. It's been in the works for a couple months but it became official this week. Ill be serving from June 1 through August 15. Brandon and Trinity Kids are doing a lot of cool things this summer that I wanted to be involved in and learn from. In June were taking some 5th graders on a missions trip to The Freedom Center in Lakeland Florida. In July we'll be attending the Potomac District Kids Camp. Also in July we will possibly be taking 4th graders on a missions experience to Michigan. And to wrap up the busy, eventful, summer Trinity Kids will be doing a huge Vacation Bible School in August. I've never been involved in kids missions trips, never been to a kids camp other than the Oklahoma district (Oklahoma District will always be the best so Potomac shouldn't even try), and never been in a leadership role for a VBS. So I will learn a great deal of new things this summer. Also, I wanted to see what East Coast ministry was like compared to Midwest. I've lived in the Bible belt my whole life, so I wanted to live in an area of the United States that doesn't have a church on every corner.

Lastly, I met Brandon Diehl in 2008 when he and Christopher Strok were the Camp evangelist at Kids Kamp, we've stayed in contact every since. He actually help direct me to Clent Wells, Children's Pastor at James River Assembly, who then suggested I look into James River Leadership College where I currently go to school. (Check it out its awesome! JRLC.com) He's a phenomenal guy and I know I will be blessed to be mentored by him. The Lord is going to do great things this summer and I cant want to be used by him!
