An answered prayer! Finally after weeks of anticipation and waiting we got the chance to meet with Unionville United Methodist Church, and they seem very open to allowing Skybacher Ministries to do programming. This is a big relief, they have an awesome facility that will allow us to do tons of programming hopefully. We still have to meet with the council on September 27th so please keep this in your prayers. We continue to work hard, and are praying desprately for a job for myself that will allow me to continue investing in the ministry yet will meet the needs of our family. Peace & love!

Kristie and I have been working hard on things for Skybacher Ministries Inc. We’ve got a few fund raisers planned. Two of the exiciting things we have will be in November. November 19th we are having a bake sale at Wal-mart, and Friday November 26th we are having a Volleyball Tournament at Unionville. Also during the month of October you can take a flyer into Baden or Rochester Pizza Hut and 20% of your bill will be donated towards the ministry. This Tuesday we’re meeting with a church about programming so please keep that in your prayers. So a lot has been going on, in the mean time we’re trusting and seeking ways for God to provide. Thank you for all of your prayers. If you love to bake and can help out with the bake sale, please let us know. If you’ve got any odd jobs or job leads let me know also. Peace Out!!

We just got back from Erie and the Mohrbacher Family Reunion. We had a great time. The lake is so cold it was almost torture to swim, but what’s Erie without a swim in the dirty lake? We had our first soccer scrimmage and it was ugly, I lost track of the score at 10-0, but I think it ended up 14-0. Ouch!! Oh well lots of room for improvement.
I finally think I’ve finished the logo for Skybacher Ministries. It only took me literally about 100 different sketches. Now you can look for it every where. Get your Skybacher Ministries pot holders, warm-up suits, and lingerie. We’ve also set up a couple of fundraisers and are in the process of setting up the 1st Annual Skybacher Ministries Turkey & Stuffing Volleyball tournament on Nov. 26 Other than that we’re trying hard to keep trusting in the Lord!

Sunday we had Tyler’s birthday party. It was his first birthday party rain-free. The Lord gave us a beautiful day. Anita made some great ham barbecue (I’m still eating some). Ty got a new bike and a scooter and lots of Spiderman stuff, I hear he’s popular these days. It’s hard to believe we have a 3 year old. Everyone had a great time and Nae even took a turn on the slip-n-slide. She loved it (ate it all up) as you can tell by the picture.

My job ends in 2 days! That’s what I found out on Monday of this week, even though I was told we wouldn’t be done until the 14th. It’s probably better that it’s ending because I might lose it on somone. They said they don’t have enough money to pay us, for another week, but we’ve only spent money on one crappy field trip and we haven’t had snacks for weeks. So where’s the money? Who knows! But the kids aren’t getting any of it, and that is who the program is for.
The good news is that fantasy football starts in a few weeks. Are you ready for some football!

Well Skybacher Ministries is official. We got our tax id number in the mail today which means the government has acknowledged us as a corporation. We should recieve our actual articles of incorporation by the end of the week. Last week Kristie and I celebrated 8 years of marriage. It’s hard to believe it has been that long. We went and did what we’ve done every anniversary but one- mini-golf. I’m sad to say I got destroyed, but it was nice to have a night out.
I’m excited about starting soccer and I have a few new opportunities on the horizon that could open up things for the ministry. They really want to keep me in Aliquippa but I’m not sure if that’s going to happen. Freedom has offered me a bunch of random opportunities as well- coaching 8th grade basketball, taking tickets at footballs games, and running the clocks for basketball games. They would all help pay bills, but I really feel like if we’re gonna get Skybacher Ministries going we need to put in the time. I feel energized by some of the great things though that happened this week and know that Kristie and I remain called to ministry.
