Click to see full postWhile the Prayer Conference was going on upstairs, downstairs was Kids Summer Blast and the return of the Defenders of the Faith – including Prayer Warrior… my favorite ;) Thera and Amani came to see Pawpaw with Bertha and Melle… but regrettably I totally missed them because I was upstairs and TOTALLY engrossed in Bob Sorge! But apparently Amani saw the DoF posters and started excitedly saying “Pawpaw!” :)
