Ritchies Graduation!

 We got to make a quick trip to Sarasota, Florida last week to celebrate and see Ritchie graduate from being Chief at the Gator Boys Wilderness Camp!  This was a 15 month commitment and only God can equip a young man to go and minister to hurting boys!  Each boy has a story of his own and Ritchie went to help, to serve and to guide these troubled boys.  It was a growing experience for Ritchie as well, but isn't that how God works???  It's neat!  Often we go and help others, we end up being helped ourselves!  We grow in many ways!  Spiritually, physically and emotionally.


This camp is nestled in the deep palms and woods of Florida.  It was a wonderful night of pizza and celebrating Ritchie!!!!

His oldest brother is so proud of him!!!!  Can you tell????



The other Chiefs and leaders of the camp encouraged Ritchie as he moves on with life and leaves camp life soon.



Youngest ----- Oldest of the family.

Such great Dudes!!!!!





Just add me to the this photo and here's the crew that traveled to see this all take place!  These people and children are dear to me!



The boys also took turns thanking Ritchie and saying good things about him!  So cool!
