Step Up Testimonials

Just had to share the Lord?s work with you all. I mentioned at the last pow wow that I was planning on taking my mentee to Mammoth for his first snowboarding experience. The social worker and the mentor coordinator really came through. Actually I know it was answered prayer and the lord just used them as tools to make it happen, but in just 4 days they managed to get a court order to let me take him, provided me with a new sweater, a $50 AMEX gift card, some cash and hope of additional items upon return. Then I called Mammoth and played the Mentor/Foster Youth card and it sounds like they are going to comp me at least two lift tickets ($71/day) for my mentee. Yeah baby! My Mentee has never even been to the snow and he is so excited about getting the chance to go snowboarding!!! I would ask that you pray for my Mentee and ask the Lord to keep him safe as he tumbles down the mountain. Who?s the Man? JESUS!!!

 We had a birthday party for my mentee today and it was awesome. The staff at the group home said he has probably never had anything like it. We got to meet his brother and my husbands dad came in from Arizona to be a clown for the party. The kids loved it and my mentee had a great time. He was begging us for "Heelys", the shoes with wheels on them. I was very hesistant to get them for him because, as you saw, his skating abilities are nil, and the shoes are very expensive. However, how can I turn down that beautiful face? So I got them. He was so happy and excited! He put them on, fell down a couple of times, and that was it. The shoes came off. Oh well. Kids, what are you gonna do?

Ladies … I just wanted to tell you how amazing the sailing / foster youth event was on Saturday.  Everyone had a great time and it was so well organized and FUN!  I have had the privilege of working alongside each of you as you setup your ministry and hearing the vision that God gave you individually.  Your ministries have really blossomed and are making a big impact in San Diego.  And to see the two ministries come together, to do something larger, is truly living the vision of the Rock.  
We are continually praying for each of you and your ministries.  Please let us know if there is something we can do to support you.  God Bless!
