During the week of Valentines, the Mother's Who Care Prayer Group for Mandarin HS put 250 bags of candy together for all of the teachers and faculty. The Servant Team helped put them in each mailbox as you see pictured.

Teen Challenge offers Hope to Drug Addicts

Jay, from Teen Challenge, came to share his testimony this week with the students at Mandarin HS. It was incredible to hear how God set him free from 15 years of drug abuse. He has been clean for 9 months and is already being used by the Lord to bring hope and healing to others. The love and forgiveness he received from his family and from the Lord Jesus Christ who saved him, has made him a new man! He gives all the glory to God. Psalm 31 was instrumental in his transformation.

THE VIEW sharing HOT TOPICS with my panel of four lovely young ladies: Katrina, Lauren, Christine and Jessica!

Our two guests join us for some insight into the males perspective on dating, boundaries, and other details we need to know! Justin and Evan did a great job and we had many laughs with them!

Here is our regular SV Thursday Night group meeting after the Fastbreak! Love these students for sharing their hearts and lives with us and letting us be apart of God making them into the young adults He wants them to be. The unity in this group is so contagious and welcoming. It's truly the Spirit of God at work in their lives that has made them such a family. I love seeing the Body of Christ alive in these young people! Please pray for them and stay tuned to all the great things God is going to do on their campuses!

November Student Venture

Students from Bartram Trails and Creekside HS came to our weekly SV meeting last week to learn about how to share their faith with others. Going over the Gospel reminded me of how I came to Christ almost 17 years ago! Because of Karen sharing that little booklet with me on campus at UCF during my senior year, the Lord opened my eyes and heart to receive the free Gift of grace He offers to those who believe in His Son Jesus Christ.

Karen continued to disciple me for months after and even became my roommate in 1997 when I reported to staff and worked with SV at Cypress Creek HS in Kissimmee. She then moved to Paris for five years to reach people for Christ. On November 1,2009 I was able to see Karen on her wedding day marry her best friend, Tim Crebbs. It was a beautiful answer to many years of prayer!
