Happy Birthday, Austin!

With one-hundred fifteen surgeries behind him and claiming only one more to go, our sweet and precious friend, Austin, celebrated his 11th birthday Sunday afternoon. Regardless of the all the complications his physically body has faced; his spirit is full of energy, joy, laughter, love, and life. We celebrated with Austin at Fox's Pizza. And aside from the food, cake, and presents; Austin and his family left the party beyond blessed by the presence of each of our leaders that were there.

Thank you TEAM for your heart of compassion and love for people. This is why we were made. People need us. God has blessed all of us with so many blessings, such as our health, to be used as a blessings to others. Lets strive harder to get out in the world and let God use these blessings for His people. We never know when we might be stripped of it. His heart beats for His people....and He desires to use us satisfy His longing of meeting their needs.

"I was sick and you looked after me....I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25: 36, 40.

We love you, Austin!
