tax deduction! • Although we’ve been around for some time, January
is our Facility’s 3rd Anniversary! Happy Birthday to CD! Prayer Requests: • If you have any prayer requests please
feel free to 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. • Praise God for Jennifer’s successful surgery!!
Her double mastectomy went fantastic and she is blowing the doctors away with
her recovery already!!! (Everyone who knows her is not surprised thoughJ!!)
She still has to take it easy for a bit and prepare for reconstruction, so keep
her covered with prayer! • Pray for the upcoming try-outs, as there are
lots of decisions for players, parents, club directors and coaches. • 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
– past and future. 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: • Praise God for His guidance and provision, and
thanks to all of you who have made these past (almost) 3 years so memorable and
exciting! • The new lighting and thicker padding
under the courts is awesome!!! • 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! • 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, and may you have much to
be thankful for, David and Michelle Vander Meer “Rejoice
in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be
evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to
God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally,
brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is
pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or
praiseworthy—think about such things.” Philippians 4:4-8 |
