from "I can't" to "How can I?"

Wow! the week is over and it went great.  How fun to do an outreach before we even launch Hope Church!  Lately, instead of saying "I can't do that"- (we have no facilities or church volunteers) the Lord has been challenging me to rephrase my language to "How can we do that?"  We serve a creative God who can easily answer that question!  And boy did He!  With the use of about 30 volunteers in town for the A/G Youth Convention & Fine Arts competition, I had plenty of volunteers, then the theater management was willing to let us use the facilities! Then a sponsor came along for the finances!  Goals were set up on the back parking lot, snacks brought in, fun openings and the camp began.  Before we knew it we had 60 kids learning basketball skills & cheerleading and praying during small groups all at the movie theater.  Each child was taught daily about determination and that God was determined to love them! The kids were all from lower income households, we also had several foster care kids.  What blessed me most was to know that most of these boys and girls would not have been able to attend a sports camp this summer without a program like this. Thank you Lord for letting me be  a part of giving "Hope" to the Charlotte community!
