share them with us! Be sure to let us know if you'd like your request included
in the newsletter or kept private. Thanks to those who have trusted us and
presented their requests – what a privilege to carry those to God in prayer! • Praise God! Rachael is cancer free!! Please continue to pray
for complete healing as she finishes up her treatment. Thank you SO much for
your prayers! They mean SO much to this family! • Continue to pray for Shirley, one of our moms, who suffers
with an inner ear disorder. Pray for healing without radical surgery, and pray
that her other ear is not affected as the doctors seem to believe. • Thanks to you who prayed for Nathanael after he broke his
nose a few weeks ago! It is good – just a hint crooked! • Pray for all the players who just went through try-outs.
It can be a VERY stressful time in the lives of young people! • PRAISE for Bill and his upcoming wedding to a wonderful
woman, Judy! • PRAISE for answered prayer! Dillon, a professor of
evolution, has been going to church and a Bible Study! Please continue to be in
prayer for him, as he still claims to be an atheist. His friends see God’s hand
in so many parts of his life! Pray that the scales are continued to be
removed from his eyes and heart, and that the Lord surrounds him with more and
more Godly people who will love him as Christ Himself loves us! • Praises for another season of club volleyball. Although
trying at times (and insanely busy!), we wouldn’t want to be doing anything
else! Thanks to all the parents who entrusted their kids to us and took time
out of their busy lives to chauffer and support their children! Thanks to all
the players who were SO incredible; what a wonderful group of young people we
got to ‘hang out’ with! Thanks to the coaches who worked so tirelessly; we had
an amazing staff and are excited for next year already! And thanks to God for allowing us to
use our passion and love for volleyball and youth! We are truly blessed! Facility Update: CARPE DIEM SPORTS AND WELLNESS CENTER!! • Praise God for His guidance and provision, and thanks to
all of you who have made these past 2+ years so memorable and exciting! • Come see our new lighting! YES! No more yellow hue and lights hanging down! White
light, fluorescents and UP IN the ceiling! • We cannot thank two families enough for all the help and support
they have given us these last couple months! Tim and Mick have been amazing
helping us with marketing and publicity-type things! They and their families
have sacrificed for us and we are incredibly grateful that God placed them in
our lives with such giving and generous hearts! • We tore up all three courts and put more ‘padding’ down!
(It is what we wanted when we opened, but at that time we couldn’t afford it!
After saving up, we were able to make this huge purchase! God is good!) Thanks
so much to the people that came in and gave their time (and sweat) to help us! • If your business is interested in advertising at our place,
contact David. We have a great amount of wall space for banners!! Cost for
advertising is: 250.00/year and you supply the banner. 350.00/ year and we will
get a banner made for you. • Help us fill up the facility: renting out courts for
parties, running basketball teams, bringing in inspirational speakers,
exercise/Pilates classes, AAU tournaments, and eventual tutoring programs/after
school programs and Bible studies, along with the ‘normal' stuff we do! If you
have ANY other ideas for us, please let us know! We need to keep this place
filled for financial reasons, but we also need to use it to minister to all
people! If you are interested in renting out the facility, please contact David . • THANK YOU to all those who have donated their time,
money and ‘stuff'!! We sure appreciate you and would not be near where we are
without your support! PLEASE continue to pray for us, as we need every kind of
support you can think of, especially prayer and financial! This is a huge step
of faith and we know God will provide for all of our needs! Knowing that God
uses people to fill the needs of others, we are letting go of any earthly pride
and asking for help in filling some of our needs: projector, financial
assistance, any connections with local businesses and especially prayer! God’s Blessings to you, David and Michelle Vander Meer “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6 |
