What's happening in Kentucky?

This morning I am reflecting on last weeks activities, I'm overwhelmed by the ways that God is at work around me.  And even more overwhelming is that HE is allowing the Stoll's to take part in it.  As I was spending time with the Lord this morning, I was reading about David.  2 Samuel 7:18 says King David went in and sat before the LORD, an he said: "Who am I, O Soverign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?"  I completely understand how David felt!  We are not any more special or any better equipped to serve HIM, yet here we are.  It's so amazing to me that God has brought us this far, both physically and spiritually.  Let me share some of what's been happening

We had a great week at day camp.  The kids had a ton of fun playing.  We have really had a neat opportunity to serve foster families in the area.  Several students at our camp are in foster care but because of the HUGE need for foster families, are not able to be placed together.  They can all attend our camp together and are able to see and love on each other here at Crossroads. (For privacy reasons, their pictures are not shown, but here are some of the other kids who also attend.)

 

 

Wayne has been working on adding an addition to the back of The Lord's Café.  A screened porch has been added to the back.  It will be a huge help for our different ministries.  Here's a picture of what it looks like:

 

 

 

 

Here are a few pictures of what we've been using it for: 

 

FREE hair cuts,

 

 

 

 

 

FREE car seats and installation, One grandparent told us that she was so thankful to receive a car seat, because she had just been carrying her infant grandchild in her arms while driving.  Her sweet grandbaby is now safe when traveling- Praise the Lord for providing!

 

 



 

 

AND sometimes we fill it with tables full of FREE food and clothes.

 

Wayne has also been busy gardening, planting and maintaining, a garden full of produce to give away.  He IS a professional, so he's doing pretty well with that! We are looking forward to fresh

veggies to share with the community.  IF we have extras, we may have a canning class.  Who ever thought I would teach that?! LOL

 

I've been helping at day camp and working with my Mission Friend class on Wednesday nights.  They are a fun group of kids.  We always have at least 2 (since 2 live with me!) and have had as many as 12!  Here are some pictures of them:

 

 

 

 

And when we get a chance, we explore the area with our new friends and family.  Here are some pictures of family fun:

 

 

 

 

 

Are these kids cute, or what?

 

We aren't quite as cute as the younger Stolls, but here's a picture of the adult Stolls.
