On Tuesday, December 20, 2011, the youth wrapped all the gifts and purchased food from Food Lion. The youth went to Burton Village to deliver the gifts and food to a family of four and made them very happy with the presents. As we traveled back to our destination, the youth said they felt very good about what they had done for their adopt a family. God led the youth to give up $500 of their own money to bless someone else. Please continue to pray for our youth and we will do the same. Edward, Jr. & Claudia Reese
