Woooohoooo!  What a great time in the Xtreme Team.  VBS was incredible.  Nearly a 1,000 children and 200 volunteers converged on the Humble campus for a week of great fun and great ministry.  Characters like Eddie Etouffe, Lulu LaFontaine, Elvis Lagasse, Buffy Boufonte and many more taught the kids about how God helps us overcome fear in our lives...oh yeah and our 25 ft. alligator, Clyde, was a "big" hit too.

On July 6th the Xtreme Team sent one of our very best leaders to India.  Miss Vicki left Sunday night and has arrived safely and been received by Pastor Santosh and Shimona.  While in India for the next 10 weeks Vicki will be training, teaching and establishing children's ministry throughout India.  What an amazing opportunity and we're blessed to expand what God is doing in the Xtreme Team in Humble and Garden Oaks to the outer reaches of the world.  Please keep her in your prayers.

Next week, the 3rd-5th grade kids of the Xtreme Team will head to Discovery Camp in Columbus, TX for a weekend of incredible ministry and fun.  Each year the kids return refreshed and excited about the power of God in their lives.

We'll wrap up the summer in August with the promotion banquet for the outgoing 5th graders and Pre-K children.  This "formal" dinner demonstrates the significance of the milestone in the lives of the children of Grace.  This years theme will be a Secret Agent Masquerade.  It's sure to be a wonderful evening.

There's a lot happening, so keep lifting the kids up in your prayers.

Be Blessed!
