Betel : Day 4

We started off the day with worship, which was phenomenal (every day worshipping with these ladies was awesome). We went to where the Betel guys lived and did some gardening then went to church where Carla spoke. Truly touching.

Betel ladies gett'n down on some Jesus! Very talented girls!

There is such an intimacy in worshipping God through music.

Sometimes I stop what I am doing and just watch. It makes me smile.

The jungle we were about to conquer.

Isn't Judy stunning??

Lanette taking notes. Girl you got this!

Hardworking girls!

My first time ever mowing a lawn. I found it exciting.

Stan was the weed-pulling master. Never stopped once.

Betel : Day 3

My body didn't adjust well to being across the pond so I had extreme jet lag for three days, resulting in no sleep. I took the day to stay back and catch up on my zzz's. I spent some time with the Betel ladies who cooked an amazing dinner!

Betel : Day 2

After prayer appointments our team spent the afternoon with Kent & Mary Alice Martin (Head of Betel U.K.). We gave them gifts and then prayed for them. It was such a privilege to hang out with them. I saw unshakable faith up close. Although they have faced many challenges they continue to persevere. Their heart for Christ and the broken is an inspiration to all. My heart was touched in many ways.

An amazingly powerful prayer time.

Child like faith, isn't that what it's all about?

Betel guys never get sick of soccer!

Everybody was touched.

Betel : Day 1

Hey guys, sorry its been a long time since I have posted so I am gonna give you a little taste of what I have been up to every day. Starting with today!

God brought together a team of 11 of us to go overseas to the United Kingdom to work with an organization called Betel. http://www.betel.org.uk/ We spent 9 life changing days with men and women who were struggling with addiction problems but also many who who have won the battle over drugs and recovered. God made His presence known. Not only did God work in the hearts of the Betelitos but He rocked our team inside out. Again, to all who contributed financially and through prayer, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

3 words : GOD IS GOOD

This is our bus ride to the airport. Everybody was in a crazy mood!

Stan fully engaged in his book.

Everybody was sound asleep but me. So what did I do? I ate a huge

meal at midnight. You can imagine what curry did to my body at 12:00a.m.

Becky & John

Becky & John are my dear friends who recently got engaged. I spent the day with these love birds in D.C. and saw how truly in love they are. We started the day off on the metro with a vintage look, then more modern/vintage, and ending with a more casual look. They did a great job. Congratulations Becky & John!

They had an audience!

Aren't they stunning?

These two are more then a couple, they are best friends.

Who says you have to be serious all of the time?

This couple is too cute for words!

July 30, 2011 - Becky & John start their life together,

and take on the world as one.
