Welcome Maggie Draughon!!Newest addition to the Knysna YFC Int'l Volunteers!
Maggie left her awesome parents in Nashville to spend 5 months serving the Lord in Knysna. (I know because her mom kept in touch with me through facebook waiting for her to land in George, and I listened in to her phone call to them after she arrived!!)
Not only will the week be INCREDIBLE! But the Knysna contingent chose "The Incredibles" for their team name!!
In October Nathan felt God leading him to find sponsors for 20 disadvantaged kids to spend a fun-filled week growing closer to God and each other.
As he was searching for sponsors The Rock offered to supply their own bus and some petrol for the trip... A HUGE "Thank You" for their commitment to "advancing God's Kingdom"!
Side note... Happy Birthday to The Rock this week! God has been using them in Knysna for 3 years!!
After the students lined up for the official "head count", parents prayed... and they were off to join forces with YFC-George for the rest of the trip.
In the words of one student (pictured above) in a note of thanks to his sponsor... "thank you, thank you, thank you - you have just spared me a life-changing process and I will not disappoint. Thank God we still have people with great hearts. May God continue to pour His blessing down on you!"
John 5:19 "I tell you the truth, the son can do nothing by himself, he can do only do what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does." Just as the theme verse for Youth Week says... the glory goes to the Father. Thank you to all our sponsors, you were obedient to Him and 20 students are attending Youth Week.
ALL the glory goes to the Father!!
"Do you think the volunteers were in a hurry to leave?!!"
Gotta love being hosts to the volunteers!
