A Grateful Look Back Moment #4: A Summer to Remember in the Redwoods & AT THE TL Rec

This summer, we had SO MUCH FUN at youth camp!!

We took 14 kids to Alliance Redwoods to experience joy, freedom, and fresh air!  We bonded over vertical obstacle courses, zip-lining, swimming, card games, worship, teaching, prayer, and s’mores!

We love San Francisco, but were grateful to have the opportunity to step out of the normal day-to-day activities to gain new perspectives, try new things that would require courage, open minds, build new friendships and experience the transforming love of God.

We’re so grateful for each of you that have prayed for us, supported this trip financially, and partnered with us for these life-changing moments.  Thank you!

Family Fun Fest made a spectacular comeback!

We had to pause during COVID, but we what a joy it was to be hosting this event in our neighborhood once more since 2019.  It was a celebration of resilience, with dancing, face painting, and so many smiling faces at the Tenderloin Recreation Center!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a success: volunteers, donors, community partners (Mobilize Love and San Francisco Recreation & Parks, and Tenderloin Recreation Center) and of course, the incredible families of the Tenderloin.  

We love you and can’t wait for August 2023!!

Then, we went back into the woods to reunite with our YWAM SF Bay Area Family…

This was our first time coming together with our extended YWAM family since 2019.  We were absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude for the opportunity to reconnect, renew and experience refreshment.

It was such a blessing to be with Jesus and community amongst the beautiful redwoods, taking time away to rest and have fun together.

To pray

To worship with one another

To honor

To encourage

To learn from one another

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for us and supported this trip.  We’re looking forward to years of ministry together and all that God will do through this community.
