African Children's Choir
The African Children's Choir is going to be in Slidell on March 11th. They are performing at 7:00 p.m. at Bethany Lutheran Church (627 Gause Blvd. between 8th and 9th street). If you haven't seen them perform before, don't miss this. You will be blessed. I promise. Rob and I had the privilege of having three of the girls stay with us while they were in town. What an incredible experience. So, please join us. Admission is free.
Eva, Joyce and Ruth
These are the three sweeties that stole our hearts in 2004 and planted that seed of the plight of orphans in this world that ultimately led to our journey to Izzy. They had no idea how they impacted our lives.
The African Children's Choir is the ambassador for Africa's neediest and most vulnerable children. The choir shows the world that it's members, like the millions of abandoned and traumatized children in Africa, have beauty, dignity and unlimited potential.

5 things God uses to GROW your Faith
I want to ask everyone to look at their core relationships this week and see if there is someone that could really use a Faith Lift...if we get real about things we have to admit we could all use some enhancement in the Faith department. (is it me or is there some wacky connection to "lifts & enhancements") Seriously I hope to see you all this weekend as we start the 5 things that God uses to GROW your Faith!
Last week we did the series kickoff message talking about how God wants to blow up our faith and how he wants us to trust and have 100% confidence in him. The message centered around that point and at scripture showing the only time in the bible that Jesus was amazed at someones faith. We start this week and move through the series with:
Feb. 8th "Practical Teaching"
Feb. 15th "Providential Relationships"
Feb. 22nd "Private Disciplines"
Mar. 1st "Personal Ministry"
Mar. 8th "Pivotal Circumstances"
See you guys...on the bridge,
Rob
