 I had the privilege of attending the NSC Senior Conservatory for a week in July! Working alongside Sabrina Borum (NSC Divisional Creative Arts Director) was outstanding. These CA majors studied different styles of dance and drama throughout a FIVE WEEK period. Check out their FINAL production entitled "The Gospel According to Disney"

 Another great year at the Territorial Music Institute with Jim & Marge Curnow as the special guests. God did a mighty work in the lives of the young people as Captain Rob and Major Amy Reardon started each day with Morning Manna. 
 
Praise God for the testimonies of lives saved while at TMI!!
 
We were thrilled to have Joe Caddy (Central Territory) as our guest Gowans Advanced Drama instructor for the week as well. 

Check out the awesome delegation!!!

Aug 12- AUG 19
"LOST"
It was a HUGE TASK to direct the Bible Conference 2012 youth musical this year! But boy did our awesome God pull us through!!

You think pulling a junior conservatory musical together in 5 days seems impossible - try 3 DAYS with 250 youth between the 
ages of 0-18!!!! What a mighty God we serve!

Here are some pictures highlighting what turned out to be a night of celebration as the youth conference performed the Pam Andrews musical "LOST"

NATIONAL
Aug 24 - Sept 2
JACKSON'S POINT CANADA
No rest for the weary! Nick, our two boys and I were then off to special guest at the National Territorial Music Camp in Jacksons Point Canada!!

What a THRILL to have been invited by Territorial Music Secretary Major Kevin Metcalf, and be given the opportunity to travel back to my own personal Territorial Music Camp from growing up, and sharing in ministry together.

Nick was the bandmaster of one of the bands and I had the privilege of leading the drama major track!

God did amazing things during our time at National - it was a beautiful community of believers that allowed us to jump into their tradition and take part in all the FUN that IS NATIONAL!

A BIG THANK YOU to the ALM, KT, NSC, and NCV divisions for coming out to support the TYC CA Prep Weekend in Atlanta!!

Those in attendance received all they would need to put together a Corps Worship Night at their upcoming Youth Councils. A night of corps participation through music and arts groups that are centered around a theme, a journey, and most importantly a quality gift of worship!

We can't wait to see how God puts these tools HE has given into place!!
