Praises!

On Sunday evening, Aim Right staff and volunteers gathered for their monthly potluck and also celebrated the arrival of this intern couple: A.J. & Jewel Miller, from Berlin, Ohio.

While it's always exciting to welcome new faces to Phoenix, with A.J. & Jewel, it was familiar faces we welcomed. A.J. served as an intern from 2004-2006, and Jewel (then a Swantz) served from 2005-2006. It was while serving with Aim Right that A.J. and Jewel discovered they shared more in common than just a heart for inner-city children and youth, and the rest, as they say, is history. A.J. and Jewel were active in kids ministry in Ohio before moving to Phoenix and anticipate facilitating a satellite location of Aim Right to work with kids in the Sunnyslope area.

Just for fun, here are some shots of A.J. and Jewel from around 6 years ago:

In addition to God calling A.J. and Jewel back to Phoenix to serve, there's another praise to report: First Things First Foundation awarded Berea Mennonite's youth group a $1,000 scholarship to assist with expenses for their upcoming missions trip (next month) to help with Aim Right's VBS. Praise God for His provision -- of personnel needs as well as financial needs!
