Mobil 2011Everyone’s Going Somewhere
BLOOMING MINISTRYThis month has brought many new
and exciting things. One of the most
exciting for me personally is my foray into
photography and artwork. I have truly
enjoyed taking pictures and painting which
basically came because I was trying to find
some new ways to generate income and
find another way to minister after I am
unable to do signing.
My 42nd birthday is right around the
corner and not that I am looking to stop
performing anytime soon, I am all the more
aware that I will not be able to do it forever.
The photography and painting has been a
fun and interesting way to segway the
ministry. To a certain extent, both forms
have to do with “signs”, pictures,
expressions and more.
The Lord has allowed me to be able to
go to many places over the last 10 years
and I hope to travel to many, many more.
As I develop this new skill and ability, I
hope to share pictures and artwork that will
not only inspire but convey God’s
workmanship around the world.
I will be developing an online gallery
where people may view various types of
artistry.
God has also been blooming many
other ministries we are working with. I’ll
share about the recent Africa trip, WAVE
teams, Graduates and websites. There are
lots of wonderful things happening within
the V2H family and lots of changes
coming. We are very excited about all God
is doing and I am looking forward to the
future! Thanks for your continued prayers
and support.

My good friend Randall traveled with
Moses and one other to Nigerian during
May, staying a couple of weeks to
continue work on the Bible College.
They were
able to
visit with
the
students
we have
been
supporting
and deliver
pictures and letters
for me.
Alcovy Concert
During May we were invited back to
Alcovy to share a concert with our dear
friends there. It was a wonderful evening
highlighting our WAVE Teams from the
GA area.
Graduates
This year we had at least three
graduate from High School who have
been involved with V2H in the past.
Markie Love (pictured on far left)
graduated with very high honors from
Community Christian School. She put in
more community service hours than
anyone else in the history of their school
second only to Max Coria, another
graduate who once served with V2H.
Skye Harrison, Josh Reim, and Cherish
Stephens (Salutatorian) also graduated
from CCS and worked with V2H
previously.
Zachery Kimery graduated from
Grayson High School this year. Zac grew
up with V2H for several years,
performing with his two sisters on our
Bethany Team in Snellvile, GA. Zac
was also very accomplished in
swimming within the community and
school teams.
The Youth Culture
Report
In May we were also part of
launching a very exciting and
new website that posts all
things youth. A very good
friend of V2H launched a website for
people who are looking for articles or
blogs on youth. If you need a place to
frequently find important youth

Universe: All-Stars
History of George Camps
The summer of 2002 is when “George Camps” began. The camp grew out of the outrageous sessions George used to have with students at Palmetto Bay Academy (now known as Christ Fellowship Academy) during Spiritual Emphasis Weeks.
After the second year of speaking at PBA (CF), George hosted the first George Camp and the rest is history in the making.
George Camps are all about crazy, messy, wild and fun times but also about singing, praising and learning about Jesus. During George Camps, children from 3rd grade through 6th grade learn Bible verses, have meaningful lessons, and develop life-long memories that change and shape their lives forever! Check out this link for more George Camp images and video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFE2GpN_6F0
George Camp 2011
This yearʼs theme for George Camp is UNIVERSE ALL-STARS. Our goal for camp is to help children know how they can be lights for Jesus. As we dive into this yearʼs camp, we will explore the truth about being Godʼs Light and allowing His Light to shine through us! From the way we talk to each other to the way we serve one another, we can all be stars for Jesus! Join us for a week you wonʼt forget and Be A Star in the Universe!
15 Then you will be innocent and without any wrong. You will be God's children without fault. But you are living with crooked and mean people all around you, among whom you shine like stars in the dark world. Philippians 2:15
