Hello from MCFA!!

Hello from MCFC!! We are well into the planning week for sports camp. We are excitedly awaiting the arrival of our first group of yearly meeting participants on Friday. As we wait for them, we are growing as a team, learning new skits, singing new praises, dancing our hearts out, spending time with the community, and so much more. On Saturday we had a community luau with over 75 people!! It was a great time to fellowship and play in the sun.  We've enjoyed the cooking daily meals for each other. We've paired together and made a little competition out of it. Spaghetti and salad, spicy sausage and pasta, pizza, and stuffed chicken!! Needless to say, we are not lacking in the cooking department. Between the eating, we're working hard to get things ready. We are all so excited about what God is going to do in us, the participants, and the community this summer. Our goal is to be as prepared as possible while leaving flexibility for God to move in whichever direction He chooses! We hope that you will continue praying for us individually and as a team. That God will work in our hearts to grow us into the people only He can make us and strengthen us as a unit. Our greatest hope is that we would speak into the lives of all around us in a godly way, to show the love of Christ. Please pray for the hearts of those coming down from North Carolina to join us at the center. That the Lord will prepare them for the work He has already started here and work in and through them as well. Lastly, we ask that you pray for the people with whom we are living in community. That they would be impacted in a positive way by our being here.

Thank you so much for the love and support that you have shown us thus far! We could not have made itwithout it, but this is only the beginning! And we are so excited about that!! We are ready to embark on this summer and all that is going to happen! We will be praying for everybody back home as well!! :) 

Love in Christ!
Alabama SOUL Staff

And Uh-Here We Go!

In six weeks, we, as a team of eight, will be traveling to McIntosh, Alabama for the SOUL camp program. Along with myself, Hunter Curtis, the team will be made with Matthew Seagraves, Taylor Baity, Emma Smith, Blacke Szilvay, Meghan Luffman, Evan Walden and our boss, Alex Sikes. We are so excited to be able to work together at the MOWA Choctaw Friends Center. As our classes are coming to and end, we are extremely grateful for the opportunity to serve God with each other, our supporters and the Sanktown community. We are in the midst of praying for God's will and his glory to been seen this summer. We have been praying for the visiting groups as we hope that their hearts, eyes and hands are open to receive whatever it is God is going to give to them. We are also praying for the Alabama community to have the same readiness for God's presence that is already there with them. We pray for a spirit led community to work with this summer during the weekly kids camps. We are currently making progress with VBS, Sports Camp and Worship themes, ideas and curriculum. We want God to be glorified through the SOUL program and youth from North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi or where ever else they may come from, to develop into the leaders that they are.

In Christ
