New Computer, New Blog:)

 

Hey, I'm Tizzy (well, Elisabeth - but very few people call me that besides

my Aunt Lynn:)).  Welcome to my new blogspot!  I just bought a new 

computer recently and since I LOVE pictures, taking them and being in

them :), I decided instead of continuing to clog up the phone inboxes of my 

family & friends, I'd just start a blog of my travels!:)

I graduated from college in May 2009, and was offered a position to travel 

with Evangelist Jim VanGelderen and his wife, Rhonda, to teach\tutor their 

three girls.  The Lord made it clear that's what He wanted me to do, but I 

didn't realize that I'd end up loving it SO much!:)  Along with teaching the 

girls and being a "big sister" to them, I also help with the music in the 

services, counsel, recruit, and do registration, along with many other odd 

jobs that come up in the ministry!:)  

Dr. Jim, as I call him, began what he named The War of Special Forces.

This ministry is specifically geared toward reaching teenagers, saved 

and lost.  It involves three teams - Army Rangers, Navy Seals, and Marine 

Recons - with a captain who takes charge of each team for the week.  

We travel from church to church throughout the United States holding 

The War in various different Christian schools.  We work with the Christian

school teens during the day and then on Wednesday, Thursday, and 

Friday evenings we bring in those teens that we've recruited throughout 

the week.  Each night we have competitions, free food, a cheering contest, 

trivia, and end each night with a gospel message.  It's been absolutely 

awesome to see the Lord save souls and revive hearts of teenagers

throughout the United States!  

Like I said, I LOVE my job, traveling, and having the privilege to serve 

the Lord in this ministry!  I've been asked to stay on with the team 

another year, so there will be plenty more pictures and updates in the 

future, but for now I've tried to post the past places we've traveled 

starting from the fall 2009 and ending with spring 2010.  

First, I'd like to introduce you to my three "little women"... :)

Stephanie Joy (14)

 I absolutely LOVE my three "little women"!:)  

(Did I mention that I think I might have the best job in the world?!;))

 

  

All three girls sing and play the violin and piano..

and are becoming excellent musicians!

(of course, I may be a bit biased!;))

I love my crazy girls!:)  

There's almost never a dull moment!;)

Hope you now enjoy the blog of my travels.. :)
