A New Camp - A New Day!
This special edition of
The Wave takes a glimpse into Synergy Season 2016. For those of you who are new to our lil' ol' newsletter, Synergy Season is the concentrated period of church partnerships in action over the summer. This summer was a very special summer in that it marked the most expansive summer that Synergy has seen to date. Thanks and glory to God!
I could not think of a better way to start sharing the news from this summer than headlining with a picture from one of our new Synergy Baseball Camps. The photo above is from the new baseball camp started with the new partnership between EFG Westoverledingen and The Woodlands First Baptist Church. (photo Haley Womack) This first camp was a tremendous success.
More Info to Come
As is the case each year, we are don't have much of the specifics to roll out yet because our church partnerships are just now working through all the God stories of life transformation and impact. We will let you know as soon as we know.
So enjoy a few pictures to wet your appetite for future editions of
The Wave.
Thanks for All You Do!
This edition features a special thanks section to recognize all the hard work, sacrifice, and commitment from the hundreds of team members and local church members that invest their lives in so many!
God Does It All
Each Synergy Season expands my understanding of God because I see Him at work in powerful, new, and life changing ways. To Him goes all the glory, because He is the One Who does it all!
Dr. Doug Cassady
Executive Director
...to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.

Volunteer Highlight
Thomas Albrecht is a living example of the fruit of long-term partnerships between churches. Thomas, a faithful member of EFG Luebbecke, Germany, has grown-up during the 13 years of parternship between his church and The Woodlands FBC. From a young baseball camper to now leading the baseball camp team in Luebbecke, Thomas has grown so much in the Lord. This summer Thomas' hard work, extraordinary leadership, and strong faith has impacted hundreds of kids in Luebbecke and throughout all of Germany.
Thanks Thomas, for all you do!
