Mobil 2011Everyone’s Going Somewhere

BLOOMING MINISTRYThis month has brought many new

and exciting things. One of the most

exciting for me personally is my foray into

photography and artwork. I have truly

enjoyed taking pictures and painting which

basically came because I was trying to find

some new ways to generate income and

find another way to minister after I am

unable to do signing.

My 42nd birthday is right around the

corner and not that I am looking to stop

performing anytime soon, I am all the more

aware that I will not be able to do it forever.

The photography and painting has been a

fun and interesting way to segway the

ministry. To a certain extent, both forms

have to do with “signs”, pictures,

expressions and more.

The Lord has allowed me to be able to

go to many places over the last 10 years

and I hope to travel to many, many more.

As I develop this new skill and ability, I

hope to share pictures and artwork that will

not only inspire but convey God’s

workmanship around the world.

I will be developing an online gallery

where people may view various types of

artistry.

God has also been blooming many

other ministries we are working with. I’ll

share about the recent Africa trip, WAVE

teams, Graduates and websites. There are

lots of wonderful things happening within

the V2H family and lots of changes

coming. We are very excited about all God

is doing and I am looking forward to the

future! Thanks for your continued prayers

and support.

Alcovy Concert

During May we were invited back to

Alcovy to share a concert with our dear

friends there. It was a wonderful evening

highlighting our WAVE Teams from the

GA area.

Graduates

This year we had at least three

graduate from High School who have

been involved with V2H in the past.

Markie Love (pictured on far left)

graduated with very high honors from

Community Christian School. She put in

more community service hours than

anyone else in the history of their school

second only to Max Coria, another

graduate who once served with V2H.

Skye Harrison, Josh Reim, and Cherish

Stephens (Salutatorian) also graduated

from CCS and worked with V2H

previously.

Zachery Kimery graduated from

Grayson High School this year. Zac grew

up with V2H for several years,

performing with his two sisters on our

Bethany Team in Snellvile, GA. Zac

was also very accomplished in

swimming within the community and

school teams.

The Youth Culture

Report

In May we were also part of

launching a very exciting and

new website that posts all

things youth. A very good

friend of V2H launched a website for

people who are looking for articles or

blogs on youth. If you need a place to

Universe: All-Stars

History of George Camps

The summer of 2002 is when “George Camps” began. The camp grew out of the outrageous sessions George used to have with students at Palmetto Bay Academy (now known as Christ Fellowship Academy) during Spiritual Emphasis Weeks.

After the second year of speaking at PBA (CF), George hosted the first George Camp and the rest is history in the making.

George Camps are all about crazy, messy, wild and fun times but also about singing, praising and learning about Jesus. During George Camps, children from 3rd grade through 6th grade learn Bible verses, have meaningful lessons, and develop life-long memories that change and shape their lives forever! Check out this link for more George Camp images and video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFE2GpN_6F0

George Camp 2011

This yearʼs theme for George Camp is UNIVERSE ALL-STARS. Our goal for camp is to help children know how they can be lights for Jesus. As we dive into this yearʼs camp, we will explore the truth about being Godʼs Light and allowing His Light to shine through us! From the way we talk to each other to the way we serve one another, we can all be stars for Jesus! Join us for a week you wonʼt forget and Be A Star in the Universe!

15 Then you will be innocent and without any wrong. You will be God's children without fault. But you are living with crooked and mean people all around you, among whom you shine like stars in the dark world. Philippians 2:15
