Summer 2008 Newsletter and TH Talks
I am sending out my newsletter in the mail today so if you love getting mail and would rather save the surprise and excitement of opening a letter and reading it you might want to wait to click on the links below. The snail-mail letter includes the quarterly newsletter as well as a card for you to send an extra summer scholarship donation to TreeHouse.
During the summer we have a few trips that cost the kids some money. The reason we still go on these trips is because of the way the they challenge, stretch, and encourage each teen to do something they never would have thought about doing. Some kids have never spent a night in a tent camping, some have never been on a boat, some kids have never left MN, and a few teens have never left home for an over night stay. Our activities and events are designed to give each teen an opportunity to try something new. In doing so, many of them find out they have talents and gifts they never explored before. It is encouraging and very rewarding to watch their self-confidence grown and their spiritual interest go to a deeper level.
Please consider giving a special designated amount toward our summer events because they have been life changing summers for many teens at TreeHouse. Thanks!
Also, please be praying for the staff at TreeHouse because the summer is our busiest time of the year. We need energy, patience, and grace as we continue to pour into the lives of the teens. Thank you in advance!
One final thing, I have added a page to the website that contains virtually all the talks I have done at TreeHouse. It is located on the top of the website where the tabs are located. I will try to keep that up to date so you can use them. I have also included any PowerPoint or handouts that were used during the talk. I hope they are helpful to you!
