I thank God for this vision of alternative to idleness for the youth of our city as well as the delegation of youth and workers from the Ft. Worth, Tx area. Last year God blessed us with participation of 288 total youth and whatever and however God decides to bless us this year, we are waiting in hopeful expectation.
The enemy has been busy trying to stop what we have been privileged to began for our youth. However, I can attest that God has the final say. Funds were not readily available for this function this year, but through the efforts of many, S.A.V.E. It, funded by Butterfield, sponsored this entire week.

Olive, send me the CD, post some pics or a video for others to see as well.
