An Amazing Start to 2009

Well I haven’t been on here in forever but it has been an amazing start to 2009.  We had 9 kids give their lives to Christ at our first dodgeball tournament.  We held our first ever tournament for elementary kids, with great success.  We’ve seen people get behind our new fundraising campaign called the “5 Loaves Campaign”.  We are asking for $5 from 500 people for 5 months.  We are already up to 108 people.  The Steelers won the Super Bowl!!! Wahoo!!!  During that time we sold and gave away nearly 200 Steelers Coloring Books. This also drove a record number of people to our website, nearly 1,500 visits. And finally we were recognized publically as someone who cares about kids by the Big Knob PTA.  Thank you Lord!! It just shows that while the economy goes down the tubes. God has bigger plans for Skybacher Ministries.  And His ways are not ours!!  So glad for that!!

Big game on Saturday!!!!

Well the soccer season is nearly over, but we still have 2 really huge games.  The crazy thing is at this point we could still tie for the section championship.  That would be awesome!  But, our first priority is making it into the playoffs.  Yesterday we pulled out a tough 5-1 victory in the rain at Riverside.  Now that sets up a match-up with Neshannock at 11 am on Saturday.  Basically the winner will move onto the playoffs.  I feel really stressed because it looks like our starting goal keeper won’t be there.  Oh well I guess the show must go on.  Everything else is going fine, but I must admit soccer has taken up a lot of my time and energy.
