Here’s a picture from our Monday Night Ladies Summer Session Celebration. Our theme was Beach Retreat-A.L.O.H.A. (A Life of Hope Awaits) — Pray and Obey -Give God the Summer! We lost 27 lbs. together and logged 276 miles. We used Carole’s book, Give God a Year, for our 6-week session and everyone loved it.

Ruth Diefenthaler is a new leader in Waupaca, Wisconsin. She has been so faithful and has been obedient to the call to step out in leadership. The Lord has grown this group to two, and is really making an impact in her area. These two groups lost a total of 190 lbs. from May – August. Each person donated their individual amount of weight loss in food products for the area food pantry.
