I took the kids to another church in town that was doing a different VBS than ours. They had such a great time. On Friday night (the final day of Vacation Bible School)we talked with Dana about what she had learned during the week. She told us that she knew she needed Christ to save her. So we prayed with her as she made her decision to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We are so thrilled for this answer to our prayers----- A prayer which began before she was born. Here are some pics of the kids playing together after VBS in their Boomerang Express T-shirts (which they thought were so cool).
Awesome news! how exciting. Jackson asked Jesus to be his Savior in March and is currently going through our special "new kids" class at church and will be baptized on Aug. 30th. Such sweet times in our families!
Praise God!!! That is so great!! There is nothing more important than that! If she hasn't already been baptized please let us know when it will be. We'd love to come if we can.
My Testimony:
I grew up in a Christian Home. When I was 4 years old, I had heard the story of Jesus Christ so many times and I realized that I needed Him as MY personal Saviour. I knew that He was my salvation and I wanted a relationship with Him. I knew I was a sinner and that He was my redemption. I asked him to forgive me and to be the Lord of my life. So, above all else, I am a child of God-redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. I pray that all my friends and family know the peace that comes from Him alone.
I am married to my childhood sweetheart, Donald Jeremy Long. He is my best friend and I am so blessed to be his wife. I am also Mom to 2 sweet children-a daughter, Dana Marie, born February 25, 2003, and a son, Jordan Garrett, born July 5, 2005. I am so grateful to God for his abundant blessings!
Adventures in Odyssey
I had the privilege of working with Focus on the Family's childrens radio broadcast, Adventures in Odyssey, for 10 years. I played a character named Lucy Cunningham-Schultz. This was definitely a highlight of my childhood.
Thailand
Don and I lived in Thailand for a year and a half (1997-1998) and worked with his brother who was a missionary there. That is definitely an experience we will never forget. We made some wonderful lifetime friends and God taught us so many things during that time.
