Day 5 - Thursday

2009-06-04T20:41:00.000-07:00

Today was a great day! We did our usual Morning ministry - VBS and Construction!
In the early afternoon, we had the opportunity to sing at the Sterling House assisted living complex. What a joy! We sang, shared and visited with the residents there!

Tonight we had a great time at our Thrift Store Formal! It was a super way to end our time here in Columbia!

Day 3 and 4!

2009-06-04T04:34:00.000-07:00

Needless to say - we have been very busy and are having a great time doing it. Tuesday and Wednesday brought 2 more days of VBS and construction projects. On Tuesday evening we sang and shared at a local homeless shelter. What an experience for our students!
Wednesday evening we were able to sing at Kilbourne Park Baptist Church. We presented "WHO AM I?" What a great time with the sweet people of this church. They have been observing our students all week in VBS - so I think it meant a lot to get to see them leading in worship!

Last night was an AMAZING time of worship as we entered into a service that I called "The Underground Church experience."
Please ask your students about it. I almost cannot describe to you what happened with words. In fact, I just really cannot articulate what took place......
The Holy Spirit blew all over that place. Repentance. Crying out to God. Praise. Scripture. Prayer. Silence. Lord's Supper. Reconciliation. Conviction.
I asked that you pray that some of the kids would be 'marked' for Christ -- well I am here to tell you that HE DID!!!!

We are refreshed. We are ready, Lord, for revival. We accept the pruning. We are ready to follow you.....

Day 2

2009-06-01T20:11:00.000-07:00

Great 1st day in VBS and Construction!! I think we had 75+ kids in VBS - our kids did great with all the little ones. Hannah Starr gets a star - along with Ian.... ( very energetic 4 year old class!!)
The construction team had a great day, got a lot done and got kinda dirty! They worked very hard!!
Tomorrow we do VBS and construction again as well as sing at a local homeless shelter. The drama team will present the Lifehouse "Everything" skit. Very impactful!!

We met and had a brief rehearsal alongside several of the students at Kilbourne Park BC - where the new minister of music is casting the vision for a student choir ministry. We hope they enjoyed singing with us.

I could not be prouder of YOUR students. Stay tuned for more pics!!

Thank you FBCJ for supporting these students. Your investment will count for eternity!!

Tomorrow I look forward to my husband JOHN coming to join us along with ROGER -- the finest Middle School dude in all the land! ( you two behave on the ride up!!)

Day 1 - Arrival in Columbia

2009-05-31T20:27:00.000-07:00

Here we are! We had a great day of travel! We presented "Who Am I?" at St. Andrews Baptist tonight. It was awesome. The choir did a great job and were very well received. Tomorrow is a big day - so we are all bedding down kind of early. ( yeah, right!!)
Please keep us in your prayers this week!

The Countdown begins!!

2009-05-27T14:33:00.000-07:00

Well, here we go! Mission '09! Find that blue polo - dust off that white t-shirt!!
Sleep now. I'm just sayin'!

New beginnings - I love them!! Make the best of it in areas that you know need attention. Priority one - are you walking in fellowship with the Lord? What do you need to 'rid' yourself of in order that you may hear clearly from God?

I love you guys!!

You are L and A !! ( secret code for members only....)

Home Sweet Home

2008-06-14T10:52:00.000-07:00

We are all home - safe and sound! Please know how much I appreciate the fact that you shared your students with us for a whole week.

Sunday night we will share a song in the service and show our highlight DVD. I hope you will all be there to hear from Mel and Gina Blackaby. These are exciting days.

THANKS to all my adult leaders who gave, unselfishly, to be with Frontline this week. Your investment and dedication is amazing. I am overwhelmed with gratitude.

Julie

Wow - again and 43 in 11,000.

2008-06-12T06:13:00.000-07:00

Last night we sang at Mission of Hope drug and alcohol rehab center. The men there were very responsive - they even sang a song for us when we were done with the service. After that is when we all got hit right between the eyes. I had asked a couple of the residents ( actually the pastor there chose the certain ones) to share their testimonies with our kids. All I can say is that it really made an impact on our students!! God moved in a big way. Please pray for us, as I really want this week to be a marker for these kids spiritually. We talk a lot about choices and staying under God's umbrella of protection -- called obedience.

The resident shared that the greatest testimony in the world is one where a young life would be totally yielded to the Lord and not go down that wayward road that he has experienced.

Many of our kids are at a crossroads. If the Lord lays a student on your heart to pray for or minister to - please do it!! The Lord impressed our Senior Adult Minister ( 2 years ago) to go see my grandparents about their walk with him -- they both prayed to receive Christ at 88 years of age. ALL that to say - be obedient when God whispers to your heart to intercede on another's behalf.

Following our last day of ministry in the bayou - a full time volunteer there said the following about our kids. "We have had over 11,000 volunteers that were teenagers - yours is by far the hardest working and most respectful group!"

WOW - WOW - WOW!! I am so proud. They even gave us a big 'ole bag of crawfish to try. ( No, Michelle Griffin - I did not eat any!)

Late last night we had a LARGE time at the Thrift Store Formal! I think we started a tradition!

More later!

Julie

Thursday am~~Some of us went to the beach....a few of us went with Joy & Al to visit the USS Alabama! Two opportunities to witness in singing this afternoon & evening! Check back later!

Wednesday am CRAWFISH!

2008-06-11T11:36:00.000-07:00

Tuesday

2008-06-11T06:56:00.000-07:00

After a long day of working at the Bayou area, food bank and the retreat center - we sang at the International Seaman Center service for the men who are ministered to there by our NAMB ( North American Mission Board) missionaries and their staff. It is nice for the kids to see their cooperative program dollars at work! Most of these kids are former GA's and RA's - so this was very interesting to them.

Come to think of it.....where we are staying reminds me of Camp Pinnacle. Several of my female leaders are former GA's who also went to Camp. ( A certain adult leader here tells us that her Mom made her go to GA camp as a consequence for poor grades.....ha ha!) I loved GA camp. I remember how excited I got to meet a 'real live missionary!'

You would be so proud of how hard our FBC/J kids are working. They are putting in long hours without complaint. This week we have asked them to give more than they take - and they have done just that! We have asked them to serve each other. Again, they have exceeded expectation!

Today we will do the same projects during the day and then sing at another alcohol and drug rehab center tonight. Please pray for us as we minister - but please pray also that our kids will be open and receptive to what God wants to tell them this week.

Last night we had " Senior Night" -- it was a blast! I love these great kids and am so thrilled and honored to have had this time with them. Sweet memories are made and treasured.

Please enjoy all the pictures. Your students will have much to share with you when we return.
They will most likely sleep for 24 hours straight before you get much out of them, though.

Thanks again for your prayer support!

Wow!!

2008-06-10T07:47:00.001-07:00

I will have to say that I have never experienced anything like what we experienced last night at Wings of Life Drug and Alcohol Rehab center. According to Brent Yeargin, "We had Church!!" It was a very celebrative and eye-opening service. This Christian organization assists those who have wound up - through a lifestyle of poor choices - addicted to drugs and alcohol. Our students were very moved by their passion for God. Why? They saw - firsthand - how desperate these people were for God. They truly hunger and thirst for HIM! Do we?? It sparked much discussion last night among all the students. Two of the residents shared their stories with us - basically telling the kids how to avoid these pitfalls that the enemy carefully crafts.

We are in warfare. I am not overstating this in the least....I wish it were so - but it is not. I told the students last night "The same God who delivered these two can KEEP you from this same fate!" His umbrella of protection ( this umbrella has a name -- it is obedience!) is there for our own good - not to rob us of fun and adventure. This is what the world wants ut to believe. All lies.

The drama team has been so awesome. The Wings of Life residents stood and cheered when Jesus freed the young girl ( played by Chelsea Lyle) from the bondage of the various sins. It is a beautiful picture of the One who stands on our behalf!!

Your students are working hard. At the moment - there are many students sanding, painting, clearing off a lot -- all for those who suffered from Katrina. Several more are working at a local food bank -- unboxing food and organizing things there. Still others are painting at the retreat center and re-sanding the volleyball court.
( Yes, we are forcing water in this heat!!)

You will be happy to know that the boys are going to have a seminar called " How to wash your own clothes 101" Randy Drummond will be leading this seminar!
We will also offer another one called " How to take a shower in under 3o minutes!"
Ha ha!

Al Collier,a member of the pastoral search team, shared with the whole group about our prospective pastor. We are THRILLED! May God be praised!

Stay tuned for more pictures. Joy Drummond and Mark Turner are posting pics of the various events.We hope you enjoy them!

PLEASE pray - GOD is moving in the lives of the students.

It is a great joy to serve your students as their director. I love them and I thank you for sharing them with us.

Hudson Greer is singing " The twelve days of Christmas" while working. He's on 12 now - it will be over soon. I need to correct him on one line - it is NOT "8 milks a mateing....." Mmmm - we will work on those lyrics later. ( :

Roger Allen - you would be proud. We are working hard....as John says " this is Roger's kind of trip!"
Thank you for always modeling for the kids what servant leadership is. They see in you what the Bible says about leadership - to be a servant first. No Bible lesson can compare with what is seen and observed in another life. ( Roger may kill me for saying all this - I'll take my chances though.....)

More later!!

Julie

Monday~~ Our Mission begins!

2008-06-09T10:54:00.000-07:00

We have three groups divided up for missions. A team of guys is refurbishing the sand volleyball pit...(very very hard work in the sun) We have a group of girls at the food bank and another group to the bayou to work...more about them later!! Randy washed all of our Frontline shirts for tonights concert at the drug rehab center. Check back tonight for more!!! Pray pray pray!

Weopons???

2008-06-09T09:55:00.000-07:00

Have any of you noticed the funny looking pink things in some of our pictures? Well since the parent meeting, if you were there you would remember...WEOPONS do exist, and have mysteriously appeared on our mission trip! We first noticed one on Julie's shoulder before the bus left the church...now they have fast multiplied to about four and are growing in numbers!! We googled to see who and what they were:
Weopons are small creatures much like tribles. They will invade any space theya re given and like to be part of all the activity around them. Weopons mulitply daily and will take over any space they are allowed to occupy. Weopons must not be put down, they must be held at all times or they will cause mischief. They might seem cold and prickly, however they are cute and cuddly. They must be fed junk food or they will get ill. Weopons love to be tossed in air from person to person. They originated from the WES They are from a tiny village north of Limbic, which is easy to find. All weopons are loveable and are very attracted to students who are graduating high school. Weopons love to be photographed and feel left out if they are not part of the group.
Weopons are hard workers and will be happy to be part of any assignment given to them. They are grateful for all they have been given, they do all tasks without arguing or complaining. They seek first the Kingdom of God and find it amazing that all else seems to be given to them. They consistently put others before their own and find it rewarding that when they die to self they find blessings beyond measure. Although Weopons are small they find that their strength comes from the Lord. We will enjoy the time we have with the weopons, because we never know when they will be called home!

Sunday at Dauphin Island

2008-06-08T19:35:00.000-07:00

We had to be dressed for breakfast by 7am this morning! We had a home cooked breakfast of all sorts of goodies before we left for West Mobile Baptist Church. We sang at the student rally and boy did they have a cool student bldg. It was called the Hangar (sound familiar?) We had been to early church...

After a quick fast food meal some of us were back at the beach and lots of us were taking a NAP....It is HOTTT here!

In the late afternoon we were back at the bus to head out to the Dauphin Island Campground for a full performance including the drama. A team had gone ahead of us and invited all of the people at the grounds. Of course the sound crew always goes ahead and works very hard! KUDOS to them!

Some of our wonderful chaperones had been cooking hot dogs, hamburgers, and all the fixin's when we returned. After playing sand volleyball, basketball or hanging out....we had a meeting about our missions tomorrow and finally an ICE CREAM SOCIAL!
yes! and good night! (joy)

2008-06-08T13:57:00.000-07:00

Frontline arrives at Dauphin Island!
Our gentlemen helped all the ladies get their bags in! Soon we hit the beach and boy was it hot! After our dip in the ocean we all loaded the bus again for Barnacle Bill's Seafood restaurant where we had a blast!!
This morning we had the finest chef's in the south prepare a feast for us in our private kitchen!

2007-09-22T14:01:00.000-07:00

We are coming home! We cannot wait to tell you all about our mission trip in Slovakia. We had a great week and worked very hard. Our host IMB folks were very gracious and took great care of us. I wish that we could have kept up with the updates - but the internet was not available very much. Once we all get over jet lag - we will tell you all about it. We spent the day in Vienna today -- and had a great time. We are coming home tired!

We look forward to seeing you all at the airport at 6:15 pm at Delta baggage claim.

Greetings from Lucenec

2007-09-18T03:16:00.000-07:00

Today we arrived in Lucenec and gave a concert for the students from the local high school.They really seemed to enjoy New Covenant, especially the up beat music.After lunch we will hand out fliers about our evening concert. We will be staying in homes again tonight. We really enjoyed this in the last town, and had fun experiences to share with everyone. I am sure that you will hear about it...

We are having a great time. Thank you all for your prayers.

The students are all well and rested today. More to come.....

We are here~

2007-09-17T02:21:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone. We arrived safely on Saturday morning.
We spent the day in Bratislava with our IMB friends mostly just trying to stay awake. After a good night
of sleep, we were up early to sing at the Baptist church there. We sang about six songs and Gilbert preached. The church there sang some hymns and choruses that we know,so we sang along in English. In the afternoon we drove to Klenovec which was about four hours away. Most of the kids took a well deserved nap so that we arrived refreshed to have dinner and meet our host families. How exciting for them to stay in the homes of the Slovakian people. Our particular home did not speak a lot of English, so we did a lot of sign language....
This is just day one of being in the schools and I coud not be prouder.Your studnets are doing an outstanding job~
They are teaching English classes, allowing the students here an opportunity to use their conversational English skills.
Later today we will give a concert outside and have been asked to share a testimony.
In the evening, we will have dinner and spend some more time with some of the students here at the school.
I will post pictures as soon as I can.
Phone access is very,very limited but Gini in the music office should have the cell number by now if you need to speak with me. I will hopefully be able to get the kids to an internet cafe in the next day or two so that they can all email you.
Please continue to pray. It is amazing....beautiful country and beautiful and gracious people. You would be very proud.God is good.My prayer is that none of us would ever be the same again.

New Covenant goes to Slovakia

2007-08-30T05:06:00.000-07:00

Day 6. VA Hospital, Senior night out

2007-06-11T22:14:00.000-07:00

The students met and sang for folks at the VA Hospital. It is the nicest nursing home I have ever seen! We had a chance to say THANK YOU in person to these men and women who served faithfully in the armed forces. The picture of Ellen is with a POW who served in WW 2! He sang a song for us " My Buddy" which tells of the loyalty between they guys who served and were captured together. There were very few dry eyes in the room. We honor them, for we know that the liberty we enjoy is because they fought for it! They were willing to give all.....
This made quite an impact on us all. May we never forget them!!

Congratulations to the Senior Class of 2007. I am so proud of all of you!
I will be the one in the choir loft smiling through the tears this Sunday!
You guys have been such a blessing to have in choir.

I will borrow a line from a famous Broadway tune " Because I knew you , I have been changed for good! "
Can anyone name the show ? ( hint: it is on Broadway now and people are green with envy if you can get a ticket.)

Counting the days till our mission trip.
