Pray for Bethany during her four-month mission trip to the United Kingdom

Bethany will be leaving in January, soon after the regular semester starts.
She and 11 other students will be staying in a large home with the host pastor and his wife, as well as another couple who works with the students.
The students will continue doing certain classes while in England on Wednesdays and Thursdays.  Other classes will be covered by the mission work they will be doing, and they will receive credit just as if they had stayed here to do the classes.
They will be divided into several groups, and every week after Thursday classes, each group will be traveling to work with a specific church during their four-month stay.

Here is a copy of her prayer letter.

Please keep her in your prayers!  Thank you.

Abigail is Teaching K4

Abigail has just started teaching K4 at a local Christian school.  She has been teaching for nearly a month now and loves every minute of it!  She has a total of eight students in her class. 

Getting Ready

First Day

Her students have been learning about how God created the earth, and have memorized Genesis 1:1 and John 1:3.
After they were taught the pledges, Abigail discussed with them what a president is.  And even though it isn't part of the curriculum, they have studied about the first six presidents and keep wanting to learn more!
All the children have little flags, but when they walk outside and see the big flags flying outside the school, they get excited and say, "There's the American flag!  There's the Christian flag!"
They have reviewed shapes and colors, as well as working on manners, beginning phonics, numbers, and other things.
The theme of her classroom is owls, so Abigail helped them make owl crafts.  Each child colored their owl and added feathers and googly eyes.
Abigail said that she has already seen a lot of improvement in their penmanship and memorization skills.  They seem to be learning at a good rate and she cannot wait to teach them to read sight words.
Please pray for her as she takes on this new challenge as a teacher!

Genesis 1:1
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

John 1:3
"All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made."

Where is The Hawks Trio now??

4th of July cookout

As many of you know, Rebekah was married January 4, 2014, and she and her husband Caleb Moore have a 7 month old baby girl. heart emoticon
They serve in their church, as well as with Caleb's family with singing and piano. They help with the This Generation for Christ summer camps, and a couple of weeks ago, their church helped with a camp in Asheboro, NC.

Bethany, Rebekah's sister, started college at The Crown College of The Bible in Tennessee this past fall and is touring with one of their singing groups this summer. We got to see her last week when they were at Gospel Light's Youth Conference (Walkertown, NC), and she was able to come to our fourth of July cookout! (see pic) smile emoticonShe will be home for only 1 week next month before going back.

Abigail, Rebekah and Bethany's cousin, also helps with the TGFC summer camps, and serves in her church with singing and piano, as well as serving with their youth group. (Their youth have done quite a few things that I plan to share with you soon!) She is attending Northwood Baptist College, and will be teaching 4 year old Kindergarten this fall!

But we would like to share where they are this week!!

Bethany and her tour group are back at Crown this week, at Youth Congress.
You can watch live stream here: http://templebaptistchurch.com/live/
(You may see her group sing!) #CrownMidAtlanticTrio
The evening services are live streamed at 7:00, and according to the schedule, it looks like the Combined Sessions are at 10:00 am. I'm not sure if they will be live streamed. It might be good to check at 9:00 am too to see if anything is streaming then.

Abigail is with her youth group and three of her brothers at Bro. Mark Stroud's camp, at Wahoo Baptist Church, in Murrayville, GA.  I'm not sure of the morning schedule, but you can watch live stream at 7:30 each night here: http://liveeventstream.us/ We tuned in last night at almost 9:00 pm, thinking the service might be almost done, but a (second?) preacher was just starting and it was really good!

Rebekah and Caleb usually go to Crown as well, but were unable to attend this year. But Tuesday night, they allowed some young people to stay overnight in their home so that they would not have as far to travel to catch their ride up to Crown. smile emoticon

Although they aren't able to sing together unless Bethany is home, they still have CDs available for purchase, and you can hear most of the songs that are on their CDs on YouTube.  The Hawks Trio Playlist.

Bethany's Graduation

Bethany graduated May 4, 2015, from the Foundation for Christian Life Program, a one-year  Bible course, at The Crown College of The Bible in Powell, Tennessee. She received a certificate for this  course that includes the main Bible classes for all four years of any course taken at the college.  She will complete her fourth year in 2018.

The Servant's Towel -- Each Crown College graduate is presented with a towel embroidered with John 13:12-17.  The embroidered towel symbolizes the principle of biblical leadership.  Verses fourteen and fifteen of John chapter thirteen give us the words of our Lord, "If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought  to wash one another's feet.  For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you." 

Bethany's family - Callie Anne is 5 months old here.  =)  

Bethany got to enjoy singing with the Crown College Choir this year.  You can see them sing at the graduation.  She is actually kind of behind the piano, but when shown from the side, her head can be seen a few times behind a plant, lol. She can be seen at the beginning of the second song at 1:35:20.  (But the first song is my favorite.)

They made a new CD this year, and both the songs sung at the graduation are on the CD.

Bethany is touring this summer with a singing group from the college.
They will be travelling to 62 churches in the general Mid-Atlantic area.

  All the groups are pictured here with Pastor and Mrs. Sexton.

With their sweet chaperones, and the pastor and his wife at the church of their first stop.  

Hear them sing "Jesus Passed By My Way"
(I believe this is the first time they sang together in public!)

Hear them sing "How Deep the Father's Love"

I want to encourage you to continue watching the video.  The other tour groups also sing, and four young men preached who graduated this year.  One is a young man from Nepal, who, even before the first earthquake (4/25/15), had already gotten a group together to go minister there this summer.  We are praying that something good will come of this tragedy, and that people will to want to turn to God.
They have not arrived at Nepal at this time, as a second earthquake (5/12/15) has now caused the airports there to be closed.  He reported that his siblings there are all safe (his parents are here still), but many other loved ones have suffered and/or lost family members.

 Please be in prayer for the tour groups, the Nepal mission group and the people of Nepal, and others who are going out this year to continue to minister and disciple as they have been taught and have been doing these past years in college.

Please pray for Bethany this summer and during her next 3 years of college!!
And for Mom and Dad.  =)


Update: A video of them singing at the God Bless America Crusade after they had been singing together all summer! Much improved!  The singing, that is - not the video quality!  We videoed it off the computer screen with my phone, lol.  =)
Read about it here.

A Letter from Bethany

This is a prayer letter that Bethany sent out to friends and family.  I asked if it would be okay to share it here on the website, and she agreed.  Please keep her in your prayers!

Dear family & friends, 

Thank you so much for your prayers and support since I have been here at Crown College!  Please continue to pray as I seek the Lord's guidance this coming semester.  I am graduating this year from a one-year Bible program, and I plan to return in the fall to further my education in the ministry.  My previous course transfers over and will combine with the course I will be taking in the fall.   

It still amazes me how faithful the Lord has been!  He has provided for me in every way, and is still continuing to bless.  I have also been given the opportunity to travel on tour this summer in a ladies' singing group from the college!  We will be singing at various churches and talking to people about the college.  We will be mainly in the Mid-Atlantic area, but some southern states as well.   

I am very excited to see what God has in store for the future!  Please keep me in your prayers for safety and guidance over the next few months.

Thank you so much!
Bethany Hawks

A Young Hawks Trio!

This was taken at my mother- and father-in-law's church many years ago.
I will try to find out the date it was taken.  =)

Sound Tracks Available

Sound Tracks are available for The Hawks Trio's Only One Way and It's Under the Blood
and for Bro. Leonard Fletcher's single track for the song It's Under the Blood.

See order page for more information.

These sound tracks have all the songs that are on the original CDs.  The music is the exact same piano music from those CDs.
We are thankful for Mark Moore, who recorded for the girls, for pulling these tracks for us.



Also available- Bro. Leonard Fletcher has graciously given us permission to sell the sound track for the single song It's Under the Blood.  This is the same track the Fletcher family sings it with on their CD, New Seasons.

Thank You!!

The Hawks Trio and their parents would like to thank all those who have ordered CDs, as well as those who have sent thank you cards, notes, and emails.  For the most part, these are from people we have never met!  It is wonderful to realize that you are our brothers and sisters in Christ whom we will get to meet one day!

Your purchases are greatly helping these three young ladies.  Bethany and Abigail are in college, and Rebekah is married with a little daughter now.  =)

Rebekah and Caleb Moore were married in January, 2014.  They attend Cherry Grove Baptist Church where they work in the music ministry.  In December, 2014, Rebekah and Caleb welcomed little Callie! ♥ 

Abigail graduated in 2013 and is attending Northwood Baptist Bible College.  She is the assistant pianist at her church, Liberty Baptist, and is working at a local Christian school daycare.

Bethany graduated in May of 2014.  She is attending The Crown College of the Bible in Tennessee, and is active in the bus ministry.  Bethany plays the piano for a few of the singing groups at the college.  She is also working at a daycare.

Please pray for these ladies as they serve the Lord in the ministries in which God has placed them.
They plan to continue singing as the Lord gives them opportunities.
