Dana Dibble: Congratulations are in order to Dana Dibble, daughter of David & Kelly Dibble, who played the role of Nona Freemanin the drama "Nona" written by Dr. David Norris. It was presented at The Sanctuary in St. Louis, MO, on March 30th, 2007, during the MANTLE Conference sponsored by UGST. Coral Denny recorded this image as Sister Nona Freeman laid her hand on Dana and spoke over her a prayer of anointing and blessing. Brother Norris looks on.

Kaylah Robertson: Congratulations are in order to Kaylah, who recorded her first song with Gateway College of Evangelism in March 2007. This song was written for all the MK's that are at a point in their life when there is no one to talk to but God. She wrote this right after her parents left for the field and they were in language school. The song is titled, "I Have A Friend".

Chorus:
I'm glad to know I found a Friend in You
I'm glad to know You're there just to talk to
When I'm down and out
So alone
I have no one to call on
I'm glad to know I have a Friend in You

Vs.
You said in Your word
You would never leave
You said in Your word
You'd always provide for me
You said in Your Word
Just have faith in me
You said in Your word
You can trust in me
When I'm down and out
So alone
I have no one to call on
I'm glad to know I have a Friend in you

Tag
Faithful, so true
I found a friend
Faithful, so true
No other, no other, no other
No one like You

End
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and grieves to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Faithful, so true
I found a friend
