Summer 2007

On Wednesday, August 1, 2007 we closed out our summer by throwing a going away party for four wonderful interns. I am always amazed at how God works through the love and life of interns. Each one this summer brought their own special 'touch' to our hearts.

We remember the (1) Mystery Trip to Forida, (2) Family Bible Week, (3) AIM Day Camp, (4) Stone Mountain with the Gateway Youth Group, (5) Feeding the Homeless at a 7 AM Soup Kitchen, (6) The Magic of Uplift, (7) students sharing about their Mission Trips to Haiti, Honduras, Russia & Cozumel, (8) Campus Camp with the dynamics of a Team Building Ropes Course, (9) Feeding 120 Kids for a week during 'Project Kids Eat', (10) Devotional during 'Saturday Night Fever', (11) Six Flag Adventures, (12) Guys Night Out, (13) Girls Night Out, (14) Many Soccer Games - One lasted till midnight, (15) Atlanta Aquarium, (16) Bob Smiley, (17) The Talent Show, (18) Organizing Food at Norcross Cooperative Ministry, (19) Awesome Sunday Morning Classes, (20) Air-Soft Capture the Flag Nights, (21) Linking four X-Box games so 16 player could play together (22) Four Square Competition in the Teen Center and many other spontaneous events.

Our lives will never be the same because of the investment four college student made in this ministry and mainly because God has given us the promise that 'where ever two or three gather in my name, there I will be also!' We were drawn together by His love and grace. We have seen His face and His delight in us because we are His!

Special thanks to the Mitchells for hosting the interns farewell party! We had a blast watching 'Pirates of the Caribbean' while we attempted to throw each other into the pool! From Lou Ann's delitious meat balls & fruit salad, to Domino's pizza we enjoyed some serious eating. The cake and ice-cream finished everyone off! We were floating in the pool without any floats - full past satisfaction!

We closed out our evening by listening to student share how much they appreciated each intern and spending time by praying for them! Our God Is An Awesome God! Kin
