Goodbye teeth...a tooth-throwing tradition

A while back I wrote about what we do when kids lose their teeth. Rather than a visit from the tooth fairy, we have a ceremony. Ericka lost 2 teeth from her lower jaw, so she decided to throw them under water at the lake at Camp Sparta. This was probably the most "official" ceremony we have had.

Getting ready to say goodbye to the teeth...

Proof that they were Ericka's and from the lower jaw

There goes tooth #1...

Followed by tooth #2

You can see how everyone is watching to see the teeth disappear into the depths below. So dramatic!!

Nikki said...: I am laughing at official and dramatic ceremony that took place over the 2 teeth. The kids seem very interested and excited. Too funny! Those teeth are going to wash up on shore one day and someone is going to wonder what in the world is going on.; April 5, 2009 at 10:53 PM
Jenny Mather said...: Someone is going to find the teeth and call the police thinking that a whole body is in the lake...random "what if"...sorry; April 6, 2009 at 7:58 PM

They all have a story...

This year's children came to us all the way from Nepal, Uganda and the Philippines. Most of them come from children's homes, but they all have a story of trials that God has brought them through. Some of them have faced things in their young lives that most of us won't face in a lifetime. We praise the Lord for the ministries that love and care for these kids, and most importantly, are teaching them what it means to live for Christ. These children are the future Christian leaders to some of the most unreached areas of our world. We are so blessed to be able to disciple them and have them here as missionaries to the U.S. this year.

give hope

Everywhere we tour, people have the opportunity to give HOPE by sponsoring a child. Just $30 a month provides a little boy or girl with food, clothing, medicine and an education, but it also gives that child the opportunity to hear about Jesus...the only HOPE for eternity! Maybe this is something you've always wanted to do, but you just wanted to make sure it was a trustworthy organization. Maybe you came to a concert and are still thinking about it. Whatever the case, we hope that you will prayerfully consider sponsoring a child. There's no better time to invest in eternity!
