Girls-the Secret to the Future - Mpact Ministry

A fire burns warmly in the living room of Stacy Prevette.  It's summer, and this fire is glowing not in the hearth, but in the hearts of the women in her rich, teak toned entertainment area.  The ladies are all ages, all walks of life, but they are all devoted to mentoring young girls, spiritually, practically, emotionally, and mentally.  After 10 years of experience with the Mpact (formerly Missionettes) organization, I know that this discipleship works. 
Mpact is the sorority that we all wish we had in elementary/middle/high school.  Those who longed for relationships with other girls that fostered character and community service, based on a loving relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ, His son, would have wanted this!
The curriculum structure, devotion of the teachers, church support, and beautiful award celebrations make for a long-term program rich in delight for the girls.
Leaders over the years have created an outstanding environment of Christ-centered warmth, acceptance, and high expectations for the girls.  Our daughters have been involved since 1997, and our 3rd daughter is beginning the intensive Honor Star program, a 3 year program where the girls study the foundations of the faith, church history, and they memorize 30 plus Scripture verses.  The culmination of the Honor Star program is a comprehensive test, followed by a formal Crowning ceremony where the girl receives a crown.  The parents escort their precious daughter, and after the ceremony, the crowned Honor Star presents her crown to the Lord, according to Revelation, where the saints give their crowns to the Lord when they come into His presence at the end of time. 
The Crowning ceremony is a rich, moving event, where the impartation of faith and of the Holy Spirit is palpable and tangible.  "Study and show yourself approved.", is the call that the girls and the leaders respond to in Mpact, and the depth and richness of the relationships and the girls' spiritual commitment is one of the most heart-warming, meaningful girls' ministries available.  It must be or why am I volunteering again...!

Healthy Ideas to fight Cancer

Supplements and Strategies suggested by Oncologists who are seeing cancer cured (Taken from the book Knockout by Suzanne Somers)

Take Omega-3 fish oil, 5-7 grams daily
Take Vitamin D3, 2000 IU or more4 depending on levels (not sure what levels means. I believe that the Doctor would test your Vitamin D3 level, to see if you are lacking & to what degree.)
Avoid red meat. If u eat it, eat it with vegetales to reduce iro absorption. DON'T let it get charred. Don't eat sugar or sugar substitutes, nor MSG. EAT BROCCOLI, KALE, CAULIFLOWER Use extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil. Don't cook with oil at high heat. Put turmeric in olive oil to keep it from oxidizing. Drink purified water. Don't drink water that's fluoridated, chlorinated, or distilled. Drink red wine 4 the antioxidants, but not to excess.

Eat enough protein to stimulate the liver.

Exercise
Bouncing stimulates the lymphatic system
Sweat and get more oxygen in your system.
Working around the house is NOT EXERCISE. It is stressful, does not increase the amount of oxygen in the system. It does not allow relaxation and restoration of mental, emotional, and spiritual faculties. Swimming and walking in the pool is GREAT! GOTTA DO IT!

Hola Familia!

Recent events:

Isaac had his soccer tournament on Oct. 16-17th.

The Crusaders came in 3rd place, which was outstanding.

This is the first year that they've placed. In previous years,

they've continually come in last.

Isaac plays forward, he was regularly on the starting line-up.

The picture (at right) was taken right before Isaac left for his tournament,

on the same day Casiphia was leaving to Bolivia.

The top left photo was taken while we were on the sidelines at the tournament.

(Lysandra & Annalisa).

Isaac's final tournament game was truly a roller coaster- they were tied 2-2 at the end. Then they went into double overtime- still tied! We almost didn't make it through the double overtime, because we scored to bring it to a tie right before time was up. Finally, they did a shoot-out- we won by a point. It was epic. Coach Cindy was on her knees, crying, when all was said and done. It goes to show that dedication & hard work truly do pay off! Way to go, Isaac!!
