This summer has been a time of show off for God! The crisis of June, He brought to a good end, at least next step of healing. Thank you for praying. Teams here from Texas, Virginia, Minnesota, for Family Impact were amazing. Graduations celebrated at the end of June. Then a marriage conference here at camp with LOV and Pomona Churches, we had 50 out here...I think we know the max, but a great time!! A special present for us was Summer and Connor Sellers' visit...God continues to reconnect us with old friends on this adventure, at just the right time for encouragement. He is so faithful and most worthy of our praise and obedience!
I've had bible studies at LOV, Hope Creek and Steadfast in between the madness. Joy, joy, joy. It humbles me who God brings out each time, never who I expect, always who He designs.
July ended with the biggest medical clinic team ever...over 60 serving in the usual 5 locations. Students made the difference this trip with their energy and selfless serving, they really made the adults follow suit. We saw 860 patients and several salvations, and some plugged into bible study. I believe we counted 9 churches represented on the team. A special treat to have Les(Kyle) and Lacey Hughes with some of their Providence folks from Mississippi. I can report that he is all grown up and ministered on this trip like a champ. So good to see Gods faithfulness in his life! Several friends came early to help prepare for the clinics and I know all went smoother because of their hard work. Friends have blessed us so on this journey! Here and there, prayers and support from far and near...
We continue to pour into young lives here. Some of our after school kids have come and worked at camp this summer. Next school year, the scholarship high school students will begin tutoring Infant 1-2 students in reading and math in their villages.
We are preparing to take Laura to college in a few short days. Even though we have done that twice, each time is different. This feels more like we are leaving her, the boys definitely left us;) the distance is daunting. God will have her, teach her and keep her. Grandparents and Michael and Amy are close. That's my mantra and I'm sticking to it!! Her heart will be sad, pray it is enlarged for new adventure and she will have the assurance love doesn't diminish in distance.
Pray for us always!
We pray for you, thanking God in every remembrance of you, thanking him for your faithfulness and love. We know that it is only Gods provision through your support and prayer that we are able to live in this adventure now! It is truly humbling!
Praise!
