Fall Birthdays

Fall brings another wave of birthday parties for the Coffey team and we love celebrating our team’s special days! Lots of food, “party punch” and gifts are all part of the fun. We have a special tradition of giving a different kind of gift – the gift of words to the birthday person. We share something we love about them. It really is the best thing about birthdays.

This semester we had a grand total of five birthdays – Steph, Brad, Jobe, Ella and Asher. It feels like each new fall that comes we add another birthday to the semester. Steph and Brad celebrated their birthdays at Fellowship Baptist Church in Portland, IN. We took advantage of the beautiful weather and Matt grilled up some kabobs for us!
 
Ella and Jobe shared a birthday party this year, and Asher had his own party this year. (Their three birthdays are days apart.) We’re thankful that we can look back over this past year and see change. We are praying that God would change the kids through salvation, and we are thankful for how He is changing Steph and Brad.
 
We are thankful for Stephanie and her service to her family, the team and the ministry. Brad is a humble servant and has really stepped into a leadership role this year. He has come alongside and lifted our hands. We’ve seen him change in his openness and pursuit of people. Praise the Lord! Ella has become quite the young lady, sweet, sensitive and caring. Asher has taken big steps toward being a mighty man after God’s heart. We are praying for Jobe to see God’s love and trust in Jesus. It is a joy to celebrate life with our family and friends!
