PSP 2009!!

Woo-hoo! It's that time again, boys and girls - time to get ready for PUMP Summer Program! This year we have a great curriculum ready to go, a fabulous new Executive Director, and fun plans in the works for a place to call home.

I think the biggest indicator of the success of our program is...[drum roll, please]...our intern team. Who we have together for serving the Lord, the community of Northeast Portland, and the PUMP church makes all the difference for our summer. So we are in prayer. We are praying that the right team will come together this year. We pray that if the Lord touches your heart to come to Portland, that you will answer His call. We also pray that if you really, really want to come, but it is not in the Lord's will or if it will not be the best thing for PSP, that you will also listen and obey. We pray that our team of interns will be faithful, dedicated servants and stewards of the Kingdom and the Good News during the program, in their living quarters, or when they are out playing. We pray that personalities will mesh well and patience and joy will prevail. We pray that our team will learn to communicate in ways that will helpful, edifying, and glorifying.

I hope you are praying about this, too. Whether or not you are a PSP intern, there is a lot riding on this team's success.

If you need more information about PSP, please contact us through the pump website.

Dear, Sweet Jessie


Although it is well past the end of PSP 2008, for nostalgia's sake I want to include Jessie in this site. Jessie is a bundle of joy and sweetness who came to us via Texas. We love her much & are thankful for her!
