Dennah's Home!

Dennah is home again! We are all so happy to have her back in our house. We are equally as proud of the time and effort she put forth to be part of the 35th graduating class of EXCEL on November 12th. Great job Dee!! This wonderful program gave her many opportunities to grow in her walk with the Lord. She is so grateful for all that she learned, for the many friends that she made, for the ways she saw God work, and for all those in leadership that made it possible. God is good and worthy of praise!

Happy graduates...Dee and Izzy...team mates and great friends!

Dennah with Mr. & Mrs. Bell, the directors of the EXCEL program.

After serving for the last 15 years, the Bells are retiring. The Bell family has served over 2000 girls and 35 classes with their skills and talents. Truly a ministry that has blessed many! We praise God that Dennah had the opportunity to attend the EXCEL program under their godly and inspiring leadership.

Natalia, Naomi and Dennah...Roommates and special friends!

Part of Team 1...Katie, Izzy, Natalia, Dee and Angela

Dennah was blessed when her dad showed up as a surprise for her graduation. Way to go Daddy for braving the weather and traffic to be with our Little Dee.

Sarah Ballmann, Lillie, Dennah and Elizabeth Ballmann

It's truly a small world...while Dennah was meeting and getting to know Elizabeth and Rachel, Lillie had opportunity to meet and get to know Sarah and Nate at Family Camp. We had heard of the Ballman family but had never met them until this fall. After graduation, Mrs. Cindy Ballmann, Sarah and Izzy joined our family at McDonald's for a quick bite to eat and for some fellowship. We had a delightful time. I enjoyed getting to know Cindy. She is a wonderful person! Dennah and Lillie are so grateful for their new friends and look forward to many more opportunities in the future to spend time with the Ballmann family. Lord willing, Lillie and Dee will be heading to Texas right after Thanksgiving to spend the weekend with Izzy and Sarah. They are so excited!

It's good to have our Little Dee back. She is glad to be home. She is also very thankful for having spent eight weeks in Texas at EXCEL and praises God for all He has done in her life.
