Thanks
to members of THE BLVD family, the 2009 Dove Tree effort was a

willingness to "enter the story" and give generously will
ensure that the children of Hope House, their parents and
siblings will receive gifts. You have blessed many family
units this Christmas. If you are interested in assisting with
the coordination of the 2010 Dove Tree effort, please contact

FUN ACTIVE SPORTS
TOGETHER @ THE BLVD
Pastor
Frank is an avid believer that the faith journey is prosperity
for the soul and good health is prosperity for the body (“Beloved, I wish above all
things that thou mayest prosper and be in good health, even as
thy soul prospereth” 3 John 2). Many have heard and
prospered from Pastor Frank's message; we have lost weight, we
feel good, look good and are on fewer medications. There are
testimonies all over the church about how exercise and diet
has changed lives of whole families. We want to create a
ministry that can add to Pastor Frank's teaching through our
Family Life Center (FLC). We need your help to develop a
family recreational ministry called Fun Active Sports Together
(FAST). Please fill out the brief survey connected to this
message. Thank you so very much, we can prosper together as a
family and live in good health while having a boatload of
fun. Please help us by
participating in this survey by December 28th.

Sisters-In-Motion
has competed in many races in its 3-year existence, but
this trip marks our first international racing venture.
There were over 1,000 participants coming from 18
different countries. For many in our group, it was their
first international trip and the first time visiting a
third world country. They were exposed to the local
culture, church service and had a first hand observation
of the poverty that exists in many third world
countries. From these observations, they all agreed that
America is truly blessed and left with a more profound
appreciation of our country and all that it offers. Click here to view race
photos.
It
was a wonderful weekend getaway full of fellowship, fun,
sun, good food, beautiful beach, white sand, water
activities and relaxation. They are looking forward to
their next running/walking adventure, either nationally
or internationally. | |
