Time for an update :)

Hey everyone--I just wanted to fill everyone in on the progress that is being made with The Hidden Place and all that is going on. God is providing in some great ways--and your support has been so overwhelming. The amount of people asking me what they can do to help and contribute has blown me away--here are just a few of the things in the works right now:

--We are about a week away from obtaining corporation status, which is the last step before submitting our non-profit paperwork. Please pray as we begin that process--the paperwork is almost ready to go, but they have been known to return it quite a few times with no explanation of what is wrong. Please pray that the process goes smoothly!

--We have been trying to figure out how we are going to provide bedding for all of the kids at camp at a reasonable price. Thankfully, we found great blankets on clearance for $7.00 each earlier this week! Our family went to 6 malls in total to find enough, but we finally got them all. Now we just need to get them to South Africa--thankfully my parents and some other people from our church will be coming in September, so they will just have to pack a few extra tubs for the journey!

--My wonderful aunt has prepared prayer/support cards to send out--I will have them with me when I speak at churches, but if you are interested in getting one, you can e-mail me your address.

--I am excited to be meeting with a few churches in the coming weeks about the possibility of them partnering with The Hidden Place. I am excited to share this vision with people and hear their feedback. God is definitely opening doors, and I am excited for what He has in store!

--We wanted to be able to provide toiletry items for the kids that come to The Hidden Place, and thankfully our Awana program at church has offered to make that happen! They will be collecting travel size toiletry items for us! I am so thankful for a church that supports and assists in countless ways.

--The sewing ladies at our church will be making pillow cases for us to have for future camps! Another great answer to prayer so that we can provide bedding for the kids!

Thank you all so much for your prayers and support! Please continue to pray for this ministry--that God would be glorified in every decision--and that we would seek His will in all we do. Please begin praying for the kids that we will minister to at the first camp in September-I can't wait to see what God has in store.
