TeenPact!

(Yes, I know that this is a little late!) We had a fantastic week with the TeenPact students and were really blessed to see how the Lord worked out all of the details. The staff did a great job and once again we thoroughly enjoyed the time of learning, working, and fellowshipping with the whole group. I can't wait 'till next year!

Here are a few fun pictures from the week.



This is Justin playing the governor in a skit.

Justin was accompanied by several bodyguards, one of whom was my brother Caleb (right) who staffed for the class that week. (Gotta love the sideburns!)

The legislature was not in session that week, much to our disappointment, but it worked out that the students were able to have one of their sessions in the House chamber!

TeenPact Legislature

On Wednesday we attended the public hearing for a bill legalizing same-sex marriage. Sadly the bill passed.

Katie, Tim, Paige, and Caleb (four of our awesome Teenpact staff!)

This picture really gave us a good laugh :-)

Caleb is getting ready to introduce our first speaker, Pastor Bob Emrich. He is the founder of the Maine Jeremiah Project which is a grassroots coalition of social conservatives and christians who are committed to “Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you…and pray to the Lord on its behalf…........” Jeremiah 29:7

Yes, that is my sister Hannah on the right. She attended the four day class for the first time this year.


Of course TeenPact is about learning, but we also have a lot of fun! The main game is Ultimate Frisbee!

We eat lots of good food...

... and enjoy a time of devotions and singing in the evenings.

All in all it was a wonderful week! Right Justin? :-)
