Family Camp 2011 Continued….
Don’t you just love the outdoors? The fresh air, the cool weather? Well I do! I
especially love going camping in Prescott, AZ in September because that’s when
our Family Camp is! This year, the members of West Valley Apostolic Tabernacle
were extremely excited to go because it was our churches 10th
Anniversary Fam-
ily Camp! That’s a long time; ten years ago I was 5! So imagine how old you
were? Family Camp is extremely awesome because it’s a big “church family re-
union”! This year was the best, special thanks to the Rodriguez family for bring-
ing their horses to camp for everyone to ride. It definitely went along with cow-
boy night! I know everyone loved all of the activities that were going on, espe-
cially the kids! They even got into a water balloon fight!
The services were awesome! From that very first night on Thursday, there
were definitely a lot of people receiving their blessing. The preaching’s were
awesome as well. God told us through his word to unite and put aside our dif-
ferences. I think that the youth were the most touched. We all were united by
the last night and knew that this is how we all should be for the rest of our lives.
We give a special thanks to Pastor Gilbert Balderas for giving an amazing confer-
ence on faith, and preaching at our youth service. He did an awesome job!
Hope you guys had as much fun as I did and if you didn’t go this year in Jesus
name, I hope you go next year! –Sis. Nivia Alvarado
Praise Like No Other
I wanna praise my God I wanna praise like no other
a praise so outrageous it never hits the floor
a praise so deep it knocks on God's door
yes praise Him like no other being has ever done before
let us bring out a praise that comes from the depths of our core
a praise like no other is not like the one of that sister or brother
it is like that of a praise that the world has yet to know
this type of praise is the one which makes even the mind, body, and soul
glow
this praise like no other is more than the hand raising & the lips that sing
it is of the soul letting go for a moment to connect to the unseen
it is the craving connection between a child & the king
praise Him like no other
let this praise be uncovered
and delivered to God from one brother to another
so let us help each other bring out this Praise Like No Other!

1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications,
prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be
made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in
authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable
life in all godliness and reverence.

What exactly makes Samson a great Hero of Faith? Well, the Bible tells us in the book of Judges that
Samson was a Nazirite and was set aside by God to do great things. In a way, Samson was held on a
pedestal and rightfully so. He would single handedly slew thousands of Philistines in battle. He took
a vow to never drink wine, nor cut his hair for if he were to do so, God would revoke the mighty
strength that he had bestowed upon Samson and Samson would be delivered unto the hands of his
enemies. Samson kept his vows towards God for most of his life. If we read his story, we learn that
Samson allowed a woman to deceive his heart and Samson broke his vow with God; the woman cut
his hair; and Samson was captured by the Philistines and brought to a temple to die. At the end of
his life, while he was in that temple; Samson realized his faults and humbled himself before the Lord
and with great faith, called upon God to deliver him once more. That day, Samson killed more Philis-
tines than he did throughout his entire life combined. This teaches us that although we make mis-
takes, we should never lose our faith in the Lord and instead humble ourselves, confess our sins and
trust in God to carry us through our trials and tribulations.
