We made it!


We are packing up and heading out of Red Bluff, CA. Our last day was wonderful, with many opportunities to share His love. We were so incredibly blessed by our sponsors and host families and are so thankful they opened their homes and their lives to us. God you are so good to us.


10 days, 10 programs. We were extended and stretched almost to capacity and the Lord was so faithful to provide all that we needed along the way. I love how He not only gives us the strength we need but brings people along the way to encourage and uplift us. That is what has blessed me the most about this trip, is the people and the relationships.


We begin our drive at 9am this morning and drive for 10 hours. We will be praying for the people we met, the needs we encountered and the lives the Lord laid in our paths.


Jesus we thank you for our amazing trip, we thank you for every encounter and every opportunity you gave us on this trip. We praise you for safe travel, for keeping the bus incident free and for providing the funds to pay for our gas. We bless your name for no injuries, healthy bodies and rest/sleep (although minimal, yet doubled by Your grace) But most importantly Father we thank You for loving us and giving us a reason to dance, to worship, to sing, because you died on the cross for each of us. How can we not worship You with all that we have? We love you Lord and praise Your almighty name!


In Him alone,

Tennille

Just keep swimming...


Hey everyone! We are currently relaxing at Starbuck's waiting for our second program in Red Bluff, CA. We had the opportunity to worship with Red Bluff Church of God this morning and were so blessed to spend the morning with them!


We are heading to our first outreach of the day at Brentwood Nursing Home and are excited to minister to the residents! We will then be traveling to Tahoma Estates this afternoon to spend time with the folks there and a last minute outreach has been put in place at the Juvenille Detention Center for this evening. A gentleman came to us this morning at requested we come to spend time with the kids sharing the love of Christ with them. 4 programs in one day will be our new record, but whatever opportunity the Lord presents we are game for. Please pray the Lord's strength will flow in abundance, we are relying on Him!!!


A funny thing happened after our program this morning, poor Audrey got stuck in the stall with an overflowing toilet, screaming her head off. We had quite the laugh, poor thing will be scarred forever, but it definitely brightened our day!


Thanks so much for your prayers! It's the last day of tour and we are going out with a bang!!!


Blessings,

Tennille
