New Hope New York

Times Square... in the flesh!

What a great week! We had about 58 kids for flag football camp and 27 for cheerleading camp and had a blast. We ended the week with a block party for the neighborhood of Mott Haven in the Bronx, which went really well and was a hit with everyone. All of it was free... the food, the magician and the kids performing what they learned at the Fine Arts Camp and the cheerleaders performed some cheers and their pom routine. We even had time for a little site seeing during the week. I love NYC but those kids were amazing and I miss them already!! God did so much last week and if we did anything at all, we planted some seeds in these kids and made sure they knew that God loves them. Pray for Graffiti 2 in the Bronx and the ministry they have there. It has already been an amazing thing for those kids!

Carly, Natalie, Myrna, me and Lance sporting our Statue of Liberty hats with the NYC skyline in the background. You won't believe it, but Myrna and I actually had people want their picture taken with us in these hats! It's ok to be jealous that I didn't bring you one... maybe next time! haha!

Myrna and me on top of the Empire State Building... it was a little windy, can you tell?

Derek showing the guys how football is done!

Natalie showing the girls how cheerleading is done!

Well, there's the overview... I'll post more later... or maybe I'll post a link to the rest online. That may be easier :)
