We had a GREAT time at the last and final “Shindig” that Mike and Debi Pearl and their children have put on for the last 3 years. We were thrilled that we had the honor of attending this year! It was a blessing! This is David with Nathan Pearl.

Friends
This is Bobbie Sue. She is Debi Pearl’s personal assistant. Bobbie Sue has been a GREAT personal encouragement to our family and we are thankful to have become friends with her! God bless your upcoming marriage, Bobbie Sue!! We love you!

Michael Pearl doing his “knife” show………amazing!!
Jill with Shalom (Pearl) Brand.
Shalom was only 3 weeks away from her due date with her 5th child.
It was at this “Christian Resort / Conference Center in the Blue Ridge – Smoky Mountains in North Carolina. Check out NGJ’s website to see more pictures…………including our family singing.
Another thing that I (Jill) had the honor of doing was to plan and direct (along with another couple) the teens – ages 13 to 17 yrs. It was fun to do it for 4 nights in a row. As you can see, we averaged between 150 and 200 teens each night. What a blessing!!!
More teens from a dear family with 10 children that we got to know well while we were there.
Below are some more FUN things that our family was able to do while at the Shindig.
This was some of our children’s first time to miniature golf. They had a BLAST!!
We all had fun playing checkers at this coffee shop while enjoying various cakes and yummy drinks.

Good bye, Shindig!!
We had a “baby dedication to the Lord” for little Sadie. Our Pastor Bartlett did a GREAT job in presenting and officiating this event. Our prayer is that Sadie is saved as soon as she is old enough to understand and that she will serve Jesus her whole life long!!
Our Pastor reading a letter he wrote to Sadie…….special!
Sadie was thrilled with her new and very first Bible!
I almost always cry at my babies’ dedications to the Lord. We are so thankful for the children that God has given us!

Before we left the area to travel full-time, we had a blessed time visiting with various friends and many tears shed as we said good-bye. This is my dear Homeschooling Mom friend – Wendy Summers – that was one of our only neighbors near by that homeschooled.
Wendy is an awesome “Pottery Maker”. She has given me some priceless, handmade items and also helped our children make each of their own bowls. Notice the beautiful handiwork on her shelf behind us!

My boys with the Summers Boys – Paul and John. (Thanks for having us over for that delicious dinner, Wendy! We love you and will miss you!)
As our journey began, we started off with some amazing services at Pastor Cochran’s Church in West Virginia. It was an honor to do the music at this meeting along with Dr. Bobby Roberson and Pastor Darrell Cox from North Carolina. It was an honor to get to know all of these people along with this dear church family!
Some great men of God……….especially that man in brown!!……..smile.
