We Miss Everyone In Alabama

 
 




This Page Is Dedicated to
The SWAT TEENS
We had to leave behind
In Alabama


This is a very old picture of the very first SWATTEENS
of them when they were known as...

"Kids For Christ" at Bearfork

S.W.A.T.TEENS started in Mobile Alabama
Originally they were Kids For Christ and that began
at a lil country Church in 8 mile Alabama
Bearfork Assembly
with Bro Ray Thompson as the Lead Pastor

Sister Phyllis was there first
then I joined in helping her in aprox. April of 1996
Thats when they were named
After being there for a time
we expanded to a different church
closer to the neighborhoods where a ministry was needed

In January of 1999 Sis Phyllis and I split up the ministry
We are and were still very close
We also still worked together
however God moved me to Wilmer where S.W.A.T. was born
a year later we are still S.W.A.T but as of January 2000
we are in Dallas Texas.
We still stay in touch with our original members.
But just to let you in on what's going on
or what was happening when we left
I created this page.


Sister Phyllis and I stay in touch by phone.
She is doing very well and Daniel and Shannon
her children are growing and doing good.
please keep them in your prayers
They are becoming teens and we all know what that means :)
Shes still a single mother surviving in this world
doing her best everyday to instill in them
the values of a good Christian.

UPDATE: Sept. 2001
We still talk to them all the time
We got to see them when we went to Alabama
and got all of our things out of storage
We still miss them all, But we know
Here is where God wants us.

Phyllis and Her Kids Here

UPDATE: October 2004
Pastor / Brother Ray has gone on to be with the Lord.
There will be a tribute here soon
Current Date: Nov. 9,2004


Daniel S.- He's now 16 but will be 17 on the 27th of July this year
He is still a garbage hopper.
He will graduate from the working diploma next school year.
Please keep Daniel in your prayers
sense doing his page his parents are living under the same roof
but the drinking and drugs haven't stopped around him
I noticed with my own eyes before leaving the state,
teens standing around smoking pot on his front step
to my knowledge from when we last spoke to him
on the phone last month (April 2000)
he's not in church and he's just going with the flow to "fit in".
He and Sheri are no longer dating.
They broke it off as just friends as of the last phone call.

UPDATE: Sept. 2001
Daniel is still living where he was
Still with his mom and family
He is dating the same girl since 2000
and his siblings have moved to Texas

Daniel's Page

Micah and Mirl - They are now 16 as of Jan 12th 2000
They were last seen and heard from by phone
when Daniel was on the phone with us in April
They were living with Daniel.
But have sense gotten their own place with their mom
Rumor has it they are going to Texas or California.
Please keep them in prayer also
As I'm sure you can imagine things are the same
as far as environment. As well with lil Ricky
who is Daniel S.'s brother
And Micah and Mirls nephew

UPDATE: Sept. 2001
Micah and Mirl are still with their mom
They will be 18 in January
Micah calls us all the time
He has promised to come and visit soon
They have moved their mom to a nice place
and are taking care of her
They are doing very good.

UPDATE:January 2002
They are still in Mobile but have come to Texas
to visit some of their family here.
Mirl calls often.

Micah's Page
(Mirl never did stop long enough to make his page)


Ricky- Daniel S.'s Brother
He is a very sweet guy. *smile*
Even with all his life entailed he was very gentle and loving
Here is his page.

Ricky

UPDATE: September 2001
He emailed me.
He usually does every few months from school.
But I found out the younger siblings of Daniel S.
are no longer in Alabama. They are all in TEXAS!
Talk about give my heart joy!
I would really love to go see them
I'm sure they are living much better
They are staying with a relative in Port Author

UPDATE: April 2002
Ricky emails me often from school
His last email said
PLEASE Update my page! *smile*
He isn't "lil ricky" anymore
His update is here


Amanda- is singing at Bro Macks and other lil churches
and helping by singing in a nursing home.
She is still very strong with God
and will go far if she keeps her yes on Jesus.

Page Dedicated to
Amanda
(She was never able to make her own page)


Tama- will graduate next year.
keep her in your prayers.
We never had a chance to do a page
for her because her dad is very strict.
and he is also very strict Jew,
although he doesn't conduct himself as a follower of God.
however it isn't my place to judge
I do know the last time we spoke to Tama
she was still struggling to tolerate her surroundings
Shes very strong and I know shes going to make it
She has a strong beautiful voice and uses it for the Lord.

(She was never allowed to visit for very long to do her page)


Henry- well he didn't hang around very much
after the Easter Play we had in 1999
but we talked to him on the phone numerous times
He lives close to Daniel,Micah,Mirl & Ricky
so we did see him a few times
when we were in the neighborhood
his surroundings are the same as the other boys
but he lives with his mom
he dropped out of school and is working.

(He never made a page)


Melanie- she stayed with the group for a long time.
right before we left she started falling away
just becoming a teen and finding new friends
as long as we had something big going
on she would try to be there
she use to be one of our strongest members
and the ol slu foot knew it and hit her hard
I wont tell all the details to her life
because I never know who will read this
and the things she told me were in confidence
But please keep her in prayer
she was the perfect example of
"things aren't what they seem"
I don't mean her but for her surroundings
She loves the Lord and I know she will make it through
because she has a heart for God

Dedicated to
Melanie

(She was never able to make her own page)


Now to the one who breaks my heart so
Kathy- The one who I took to be one of mine
That red head grabbed my heart and soul
I love her as if I birthed her myself
shes a very strong girl
she has been through allot of things
from all the things mentioned on her web site
to the last..loosing her brother and his wife to a murderer
now she will be 18 years old July 27th
She has met a boy who she has been dating for a while now
sense before I left Alabama
to be honest I didn't approve
because I wanted her to reach
for the things God had for her in her life
to take advance of all her advantages
To push through all the garbage satan had covered her with
Phyllis had taken allot of time with her
but Kathy hasn't been visiting with
Phyllis very much sense the boyfriend
she was taken from me due to jealous outsiders
and I wasn't hardly ever able to see her
this broke my heart but there was nothing I could do
The only time I was able to see her
was when she was at Phyllis's
I had truly hoped to be able to bring her here with me
but this boyfriend and her growing up a bit
has changed those plans
Kathy stayed behind and will be marrying Anthony
July 28 the day after her 18th birthday.
I'm putting all of this here so if anyone who knows her
or if she herself ever comes here
she will know how very proud I am of her
for never giving up
that I love her still very much
nothing will ever change how I feel about her
and so its known......
that I miss her terribly...


Tam & Kathy
1998

"I Love You Kathy"

UPDATE: Sept. 2001
It gives me great pleasure to report
I have heard from my baby girl
She did get married
and has had a time growing up
and trying to finish school
I'm so very proud of her
she has given me a beautiful grandson
I still miss her terribly
She will always be apart of me
Even though we couldn't be together like we planned
God has watched over us all in this situation
and has us in His hands
and has allowed us to stay close
even though we are so far away from each other


UPDATE: Nov 2004
We talk nearly everyday. She is doing great.
I am a happy granny to three beautiful grand babies
2 boys and the last is a girl (4 months old).
