Last night we held our young hope banquet. 

It went so well, all the tables were filled with people we work alongside with in ministry and others who were interested to find out what young hope is all about.

The night began with an amazing worship time, which was followed by a lovely dinner and yummy dessert!! Josh and Debs  then spoke about the vision God gave them for young hope in the beginning.  A video was then shown of all of us at the different ministries we are involved in. Then each of us spoke about what God has been teaching us, and how He has been using us here in Houston.

It was such a great night. I really enjoyed it, and it seemed everyone else did too!
