Billy. Here is the update for you: We averaged between 115 and 120 kids each night. Had about 50 faithful workers. Had 20 decisions made for Christ, and 6 for assurance of their faith. We raised over 1,000 dollars for mosquito nets for Kenya's children.  There were 250 people present for the closing assembly Thursday night. How I praise God for his blessing on VBS 2012, don't forget to pray for TEENWEEK beginning Sunday There is a little rock garden behind the Price home to remind me of God's faithfulness thanks to my wife Elaine.  On Tuesday July 17 I will celebrate a very special anniversary, 12 years in remission from Leukemia. Josh and Abbey Martin were baptized last Sunday.  Josh grabbed his nose just before going under :)  How we thank God for His blessings, we have baptized over 12 people in the last month.  This has truly been a great week at Faith, can't wait to let you know what happens next week as God continues to move. Kavin Dressler was recently baptized, joining the Faith Baptist  Church family, Kavin is a photographer at our local newspaper.  Welcome Kavin it is good to have you as a part of our church family.    Hope to see you Sunday
