Timothy in Training

Yesterday the girls and I took Tof out to YAA to attend the Timothy Program. Timothy is a 6 week disciplship program for high school students wanting to be trained as future leaders. The students have to fill out an application (6 pages + a spiritual biography) then be reccomended to the program by their pastor, a teacher and a boss.
Jim Hawthorne approached us about 3 weeks ago about Tof attending. We researched, prayed, and dove into the application process. We found out last week that he had been accepted and God provided a way for us to pay for it.
Tof ran the gammut of emotions. He was happy, then unsure, then sad, and finally excited and ready. As we prayed over him yesterday, both the girls and he were in tears over having to say goodbye. They are tight.
Our prayer for this time is that God will bring a vision to Tof's life for His purposes, that there will be a solidification in his heart and a fixing of his eyes toward God, that he will lead and be a man of integrity, and that lifelong friendships will be established with others who have the same heart. We would treasure your prayers also .
