June has
been busy
and hot. Our
first
vacation
bible school
was such a
blessing. We
had
25
children
ages 5 to 12
and it was
wonderful to
see the
cowboy kids
minister to
them. JR
did the
horsemanship
in the round
pen, Ava
taught the
song and
dance, Angie
taught
crafts
and I was
privileged
to do the
bible study.
Thank God
for Julie
Graves! She
volunteered
to do snacks
and
photography.
We would
have died
without her.
I didn't ask
her she just
told me she
was coming
and thank
God she did.
All the
older
children
helped out
with the
little ones
and the
horses. I
realized we
needed more
helpers with
the little
ones. We
learned a
lot from
this VBS and
our next one
will be even
better.
We broke
our record
this year.
We only
taught 2
vacation
bible
schools. The
other one
was for my
home church,
Foothills
Community
Church. We
always have
a great time
there and
the cowboy
kids look
forward to
teaching the
songs and
dance.
We were
asked to be
the guest on
the TV show
"Friends and
Neighbors"
and what a
great
time we had.
The cowboy
kids were so
excited and
really
enjoyed
seeing the
TV station.
We finished
off with
lunch at
McDonald's.
I think we
are the only
people that
spend
$50.00 at
McDonald's
and we eat
off the $1
menu. It was
a great day
and the kids
really
enjoyed
getting out
of
Jerusalem.
The kids
have been
working with
the horses
and the
flags and
hopefully we
will have a
drill team
together
soon. We're
trying to
get our herd
of horses so
that they'll
all carry
flags. We
have recued
about 10
horses in
all. We try
them out to
see if their
safe for the
kids. If we
can use
them, we
keep them
and if we
can't, we
place them
with people
who
can
use them. It
is very
rewarding to
see these
horses gain
weight or
lose weight
what
ever
is the case.
The boys can
trim their
hooves and
help out in
this area.
We have
helped
a
lot of
horses and a
lot of them
we still
have.
We could
never do
this with
out the help
of our
neighbors.
They let us
use their
pastures
to place
horses in
and
Johnathan
Bennett has
been
wonderful to
provide us
with hay
when
we
need it. We
are truly
blessed as
we try to
rescue
children and
horses and
put them
together
to help each
other and it
works.
Keep us in
your prayers
as we
continue to
provide a
safe place
for boy and
girls to
come
to,
take the
church of
Jesus Christ
to the
people and
rescue God's
creatures
that need a
helping
hand.
One day
we will ride
with Him in
white...
