This is the busiest time of year for the Joshua Generation Staff, Disciples & Parents as we prepare for our end of the year shows as well as Camp Joshua!

2012 has already been quite the year bringing lots of exciting change! Miss Samantha has gotten engaged to the wonderful, Kory Krikac, who has been welcomed into the JG Family! They will be getting married on September 22, 2012!

Our seniors, Mariah & Caleb are finishing out their senior year of high school & will graduate this May! The Joshua Generation Florida & some JG Alumni are in preparations for their all new Dinner Theater in Brandon, FL this May which includes Italian cuisine, a silent auction and a variety show of amazing talent, powerful, inspirational & impacting acts! And The Joshua Generation TN is preparing for their first show to be held at the Old School Theater in Spring Hill, TN on June 2nd.

Joining our TN JG's will be some special guest JG's from Florida! We have Camp Joshua preparations in the works, which will be better than ever! And the JG's will get to live out the ministry they've been trained to do when they get to lead worship & the teachings every night at Grace Chapel's UnCamp in Leiper's Fork this summer! Also added to our summer schedule is a Shining Starz Dance Camp for ages 3-6 and a JG Shining Starz Dance Teacher Training Program here in TN to train up our disciples to start pouring into our younger students!

Right around the corner from summer is the start of our 2012/13 JG Discipleship Year, both in Florida & TN. Applications, Interviews, Acceptance letters, along with finding our permanent JG facility in the Brandon, FL area & building it out! Our hope is to house not only our Joshua Generation & Shining Starz programs but be a place for the community to hold their theater group rehearsals & store their props! We look forward to adding more JG & Shining Starz classes both in Florida & TN!

We look forward to all God has in store for The Joshua Generation & all those we have the opportunity to minister to. We hope you will get to be a part in one way or another!

Dear FL JG Families Past, Present & Future,

Happy New Year! It’s that time again. Time to kick JG Season 2 into full swing. Below I have listed the vision for this season, along with points of interests & information.

If you are planning on returning, please make sure you get your email of intent in to Jgadmn@aol.com by this Friday so that we can plan accordingly. Returning Jg’s will not need to reapply or pay application fee again. If we do not hear back from you by Friday, we will assume that you will not be returning.

If you are not planning on attending in this next season, we pray many blessings upon you and your family in whatever God is calling you to do.

2012 VISION - God is into the NEW! Just when we think we’ve got it figured out, He goes on before us and takes a different direction. Our goal this season will be to raise money for several different areas. Our main fundraising goal will be to open up our own facility (with raised floors for the protection of our dancer’s legs) in August of 2012 which will house The Joshua Generation, Shining Starz Dance Studio & be a community facility for others to rent from, such as the local theater groups. We will accomplish this vision by preparing a JG Dinner Theater that will run three days in May.
