The Millenials struggle to enunciate
Newsletter December 2018
This Holiday Season we wanted to let you know that we are thankful for all the encouragement of our supporters.
Camping: Flooding, Mosquitoes and Heat!
As we look back at this past year, we are thankful for all that God as brought us through. There's been lots of ups and downs as is usual with life. But one thing has been evident, God has been with us each step of the way and has given us amazing people to walk through life with and for that we are eternally grateful. Even when times were tough, we have continued to follow through with our commitments.
Together with Family
Interns
Two Interns joined the YWAM ranks for the Fall, learning the ropes of Musical Theatre in Ministry. Sean got to know them pretty well, as they worked with in the yard, keeping the property well tended. Alexandra will return in January 2019 for the DTS.

Discipleship Training School (DTS)
We had intended to hold a school in September but we didn't receive any applications. So, we set about advertising our school on Facebook and we now have enough students to hold our next school in January. There will be two focused tracks for the students, performing arts and frontier adventures. Sean hopes to lead the adventure team to Thailand and will probably need about $2,000-3,000 for that trip. During the school, Sean and his family will be leaders as well as teach in the school. As usual, Sean will be teaching on Spiritual Warfare.

Discipleship Theater Course (DTC) for Teenagers
Last Summer, YWAM Tampa Bay offered a 2 week long mission and arts training program with outreach for teenagers. They loved it and had a great time.

House Guests
Last winter, two families had nowhere else to go. We couldn't let the 13 become homeless so we invited them to stay temporarily in our home. Temporarily turned into six months. Continually caring for them was a full time and exhausting job and we are glad that they have all been able to move on. Please pray for all them, as they are all at different stages of spiritual growth. They are all doing well in their new homes.

Family Update
Kids are doing well with homeschooling and their weekly co-op program.
Timothy has joined Trail Life and Samantha has joined American Heritage Girls. Timothy has already gone on one camping trip and Samantha got to have a lock-in at the church. Samantha also takes gymnastics and dance and is really excelling at it.
We all had different roles in "A Christmas Carol."
