mid project banquet (otherwise known as photofest 2009)

tonight--thursday--is our first project meeting without the staff. they drove away yesterday morning, a surreal goodbye when i think i might not see some of them ever again...weird. monday night we had our mid-project banquet, a celebration of the work that has happened here in the first 5 weeks of project and a farewell to the staff that has tought and trained us. it also turned in to a major photo shoot :) here are a few choice ones... and here's to the new season ahead of us! i'm trusting the Lord to do even greater things here than we've yet seen!

my family group! finally, i have a photo of us all together! L to R: Abby, Sasha, Glenn, Leo, Jessica, Brittany, Erin and me!

student leadership team...it's the new staff. :) L to R: my co-director AJ, me, Brandon, Katie, Kayla and Wilson

last d-group photo with Shannon! Erin (to the right of me) is our new leader; she is doing an excellent job!

AJ and me with Earle and Becky, our staff project directors. they have provided this project with excellent leadership, wisdom and teaching.

naturally, the dance party that ensued :)

a cool visual...the fruit of our project: leaves=spiritual conversations/gospel presentations; apples=people who have come to know the Lord. awesome! (i'll post an updated version at the end of project, too :) )
