Thanks You Janice...

[We are posting Carol Climer's expression of thanks (with her permission) to Janice Oxford. Janice asks for no recognition, which makes recognizing her efforts all the more joyful! Janice is a true champion of the Gospel ministry at Juvenile Hall and Boot Camp each year.]


Janice,

My Hero – the lady that makes the Juvenile Hall and Boot Camp Christmas Parties so successful – you are an angel God has given to me!!!!!! Without all the help you give, this event would be lacking much. The staff at Juvenile Hall are just amazed at the way the refreshments are prepared for them. They are so thankful and appreciative!!! The presentation is beautiful and both the men and women comment. You make it so easy for me to take care of the outside staff and the special team staff. I am so proud of what you do and am so proud to give it – the signature of Jesus is all over it.

Boot Camp – what can I say – you melt the hearts of those cadets every year – you literally melt it with all that Nacho Cheese!!! You prepare a feast for them that has love written all over it. The guards were very complimentary of the program and especially the refreshments.

I am attaching the Boot Camp prayer requests to you. There were 49 professions of faith but on the sheets it looks like 44 – we are not sure what happened in the recording of the stats but Karl will work it out.

Jason (Oxford) did an excellent job with the singing and the reading the Deck of Cards story. I appreciate him going the extra mile in bringing the sound system – it made all the difference. He has a great rapport with the kids. It was also a blessing having the background music he provided – another extra mile. Please thank him for me.

But this year having the opportunity to work with Jeff in the serving line was a blessing!!!! I had never worked with him before. His smile and kindness to me and the cadets was heartwarming. Please thank him for me.

Janice, I know you worked so very hard and I appreciate every mile you drove, every store you went into, every package and box you carried, every plate you fixed and wrapped so beautifully, every phone call you made, every refreshment you planned, but most of all for the love you exhibited. I’ve told you before and I will tell you again there are no words in the dictionary to express what you mean to me and to this ministry event. Thank you for showing all of us what service and witnessing for Jesus looks like.

I love you and appreciate you so very much,

Carol (Climer)
