Dear Family & Friends,
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, we must get rid of every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set out for us, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy set out for him he endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2
This was the theme scripture for Sports & English Camp this past week. We were all challenged this week by this passage of scripture whether camper or faculty, Christian or non-Christian. We are all on a journey in this life. We must decide whether to journey toward God or not. We choose to follow Jesus or not. We must choose to face the challenges on the narrow road that leads to salvation or not. These and other questions were placed before those at camp this past week. At the end of the week there were at least 20 decisions made a few of them were by Christians, about issues in their lives, but most were by non-Christians wanting to become Christians. Nine of those that made a confession of faith were allowed by their parents to be baptized at camp. Join us in praying for all those that made decisions during Sports & English Camp.
We ask that you continue to pray for our VBS, which starts on July 26th. We have several tasks to accomplish this week as we finish preparations. Please pray for our teachers and group leaders as they prepare to teach lessons and apply them. Please pray that all our workers will prepare their hearts to be loving and accepting of each student.
Today, Steve Skaggs will be preaching at Eternal Light. John will be translating. Steve is a former missionary to Africa and is now on the faculty at Cincinnati Christian University. He brought a team from the States to help with Sports and English camp this past week. We truly enjoyed having them.
Please pray for the teams that were here for Sports & English camp this past week as they will be traveling back to the States this coming week.
God Bless,
John & Cheryl
