History

How does one turn cancer in an eye and the subsequent loss of that eye into a blessing to the glory of God? Back in the early 1980's, a noted Christian male vocal Soloist named Ron Hamilton did just that.

After the surgery in which his cancerous eye was removed, he was given a patch to wear. Kids innocently identified the resulting image as that of a pirate. Rather than becoming bitter, he recognized their perception and enthusiasm as evidence of a unique opportunity from God. And so, the ministry of Patch the Pirate Clubs Began. Today, these clubs for boys and girls, ages five through twelve, are flourishing in churches and Christian schools around the country.

Goals

The purpose of the clubs is to help children come to Christ, grow in His love, and establish godly character and habits by the time they reach their teen years.

He have had one of our best weeks ever this year for Vacation Bible School. We had lots of Children trust Christ as Savior this week. It was so exciting to be able to run both buses. If you were not able come plan on it next year. It is a tiring but a very rewarding time.

I have upload the highlights of the week to youtube.com here are the videos. Please note the read more link the the bottom as there are more videos attached.

We had awesome night at VBS for Wednesday evening. The Fire Department came and let the kids tour a truck, told them more about how everything works and sprayed them with the fire hose. The kids loved it!

We had the highest attendance so far this year with 191. 34 kids were saved. What a great evening.

This link will take you to all the videos we have uploaded to Youtube. I am attaching the fire truck one and our skit for last night.
