Project Timothy 2009

Thanks Be To God

2009-07-23T07:58:00.000-07:00

What an incredible Project Timothy year we had! God did a mighty work and and through our participants. From Tokyo to Hollywood, Jamaica to Texas testimonies have expanded and lives have been changed. As our students are waking up at home this morning we pray that the experiences they had over the last two weeks will not be an event in passing but a transformational process that has lasting effects in their lives.

Thank you for allowing us to serve through Project Timothy, we are honored.

See you in 2010!

Telling Our Story

2009-07-21T15:57:00.000-07:00

Our day started with a simulation that helped us wake up and gave teams the opportunity to share the funny moments of our trips.

This afternoon we have been finding ways to tell our story when we return home. We have searched through thousands of pictures, shared memorable moments and testimonies.

They've arrived!

All teams arrived back on campus, on time! We have heard great stories and a lot of laughter! The PTers are exhausted, especially Team Japan who arrived before they left! Team Japan left Tokyo at 4pm on Monday July 20th and arrived in Ontario at 1:30pm Monday July 20th! It is bed time for all!

We ended our night with a time of worship through music, prayer and reflection.

Being a part of a team of folks you just met and knowing you only have a couple days before you travel to a new city, state or country with them is scary stuff! Today we focused on trusting the people on our teams. We participated in various activities and story telling times with the intention of building trust.

We have had a great time in learning new songs and expressions of worship. God is at work among us and we are having a great time.

We continue to pray that God will unify our teams and cover us with His protection.

Take a look at the events of our day!

HI! My Name Is...

2009-07-10T00:44:00.000-07:00

Each year I’m amazed at how incredible our great God is! He brings students and adults from all over our country for PT and a beautiful thing happens, we immediately become a family. Today there were 3 flights of students (Michigan, New York and New Jersey) that all met in the Denver airport and flew on the same flight to Ontario airport.

All 16, yes that’s right – 16 high school students invaded that plane and arrived with their luggage! By the time they all got to the school many new friendships had already formed.

Tonight has been all about getting to know each other and our teams. Our meeting room has been filled with a lot of energy and laughter!

Thank you God, for your protection of our students in their travels today. We praise you for new and old friendship and the call you

have place on this group at this time. Holy God, we are not worthy of your great love. yet you shower us with these blessings. Thank you for your precious mercy. Amen.
