This past October, we had five visitors come to liven our home and send joy throughout the rooms as little voices sang out in play and creativity. Keon Pendergast drove the ALERT bus so the guys in Phase 2 could attend a Journey to the Heart, and he brought his wonderful family with him! Although Corrie was a bridesmaid at my wedding, we had little time to talk and there was much to catch up on!
We enjoyed the 10 days they were able to stay with us, and especially the 4 days Robert and I took care of the children so Corrie and Keon could take some time together up in the Northwoods. We took the kiddos to a fire station, make sugar cookies, played football, read books, and watched “Facing the Giants!” The time with them was so precious and wonderful and we are so grateful they could come to Chicago! With Corrie expecting her fourth child, I had many questions as I entered this phase in life for the first time!
While we were watching the children, we received a call from the traveling ALERT Mobile Ministry Team (MMT) asking if they could spend the night with us. Why of course! They gave us a full concert of the songs they’ve been singing all around the country as they have given of their time and energy for free to families and individuals who needed help with projects. The little kiddos were happy to see the guys from ALERT again and we all enjoyed their music.
