Rhonda and Steve Ransom have been nr -bict of this enormous outreach program for 15 years. More than 500 children attend Pioneer Bible Camp in the summer, learning the basics of Christianity from a very early age in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. This year the theme of camp is “Tribal Missions.” The Ransoms wanted the children to experience how it would be to go to a different continent as missionaries and come into contact with native people who cannot speak English. "Ss, the fictional Zuzu tribe was created. They had never heard about Jesus or the Bible.

Did you know that it is the largest organ with a surface area of about 15-20 square feet and a weight of several pounds? Our skin is constantly regenerating, keeping itself fresh and in good condition. However, over the years this process gradually becomes less effective and aging and wrinkling of the skin occurs. Because our skin plays a very important role in our appearance, everyone desires a clear, healthy, young looking complexion; this is a healthy ideal that will never change. Facials have always been about keeping our faces looking young, and that for a long time has been considered vanity. But, when you understand people are living longer and leading more active lives, looking younger and feeling healthy is important. The benefits of facials go far beyond a simple beauty treatment. he mission of A Change of Face Skincare and Body Works is to facilitate the skincare goals of clients. The staff has been thoughtfully chosen for their caring attitudes as well as their commitment to the needs of each client. Each skincare treatment is administered by experienced and licensed master estheticians. The facial offerings include the basic European facial, the Le Grande Classique (a deep cleansing restorative facial), teen facial, acne facial, men’s skin fitness facial, and the back facial, to name just a few. A facial will help counteract photo-aging, detoxify pores, even skin tone, decrease pore size, enhance elasticity, reduce fine lines, and restore healthy skin. If you haven’t experienced a facial, you truly have no idea what you are missing. Not only will your skin feel renewed, but you will also experience a deep sense of relaxation and revitalization. We all experience physical and emotional stressors in our lives; it’s normal. is learning how to manage it. The trick pain and stress levels can increase to the point where it negatively affects our lives. When we feel stressed, our sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) is stimulated. If the stress is removed after a short time, there’s no problem. However, continued stress moves the body out of balance. Stressors can build up in our bodies, much like snow accumulating on a mountain. And then it takes onlyl a few too many flakes to set off an avalanche. While not everyone has the same reaction to stressors, elevated levels of stress and pain generally translate into an inability to function at your peak. Numerous scientific studies have shown massage therapy to be highly effective in reducing stress levels, as well as having a host of other very impressive health enefits. There are many ways to relieve pain and stress, and it’s important to learn what works for you. For many, a stress reducing massage therapy session is an excellent tool for coping. By using a variety of hands-on techniques, a skilled massage therapist can help reduce pain by affecting the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and repose). Our licensed massage therapists customize your massage with a myriad of techniques that will improve circulation and mobility, loosen tense muscles, relieve stress, and soothe the body and mind. The massage offerings include the Swedish massage, Deep-tissue massage, Soothing Stone massage, Cranial Sacral Therapy, NeuroMuscular Therapy, and Reiki as well as other treatments. Massage can aid you in managing stress and pain. It also promotes relaxation, enhances energy, and rebalances so you can get back to your life.A Change of Face is located inside the Valley Hair Salon in Eden.
