The dust is settling...
We have just come through some very busy times, but they have been good times as well. The Sunday following our building dedication we went to Germany. We returned to a week of Holiday Bible Club. That brought us to this past week and men's camp up in Northern Scotland. We have one more event in a row and that is evangelistic meetings with Evangelist John Van Gelderen beginning this coming Sunday.
You may wonder why we scheduled things this way. Well - we don't plan the date for family camp in Germany or men's camp. We also try to take NBT and Evangelists when they can come. We desire to particpate in all of these events and don't want to easily turn any of them down if we can make them work. God has allowed us to do that.
Men's camp was a great blessing. There was around 25 men and boys present for camp this year from 5 or 6 churches. Camp started on Thursday and ran into Saturday morning. We had 4 preaching sessions during that time and I had the privilige of preaching on Saturday. We had three activities; hiking around Cullen, Scotland where we stayed, go-karting, and a bonfire down by the North Sea. (Cullen is a harbor village in the North of Scotland.)
The Lord gave us a great time at camp and blessed us with a good Sunday as well. I continue to be burdened for God to build all our services, but know that He will do so in His timing. Please pray with us about it. I preached a message on Luke 17, Feasting With and Following Jesus. "All things are now ready - come!" (Our audio is going to improve dramatically in the near future. We are not yet using our sound system and technology. We have some bugs to work out beforehand. So, until then, there is a bit of an echo.)
Please pray for God's grace and blessing upon our meeting with Brother John. Thank you for upholding our ministry in prayer.
