Hi friends,<\/p>\n
We saw 7 decisions for Christ this morning at camp. \u00a0Thank you Lord! \u00a0It’s been a little difficult with it being an outdoor worship venue but God used everything today in a special way.<\/p>\n
Another key example……this morning I was using one of my friends. \u00a0The Armor of God is the focal point of the week. \u00a0Today’s emphasis is the Helmet of Salvation and the Shield of Faith. \u00a0I was using one of my friends and before the skit was over I went into the story of Jonah with him. \u00a0Have anything in common with Salvation or Faith? \u00a0Yeah, to a point but that wasn’t the original direction for me. \u00a0While we are still singing and before we get to the ventriloquism, I see a guy walking up to our worship service and he quietly sits in the back.<\/p>\n
Following the service, he comes up and introduces himself as pastor of a church and the former youth pastor of the church we are with. \u00a0He came out to talk with his former pastor, his mentor, who is obviously running our camp. \u00a0He asked how I came about telling the story of Jonah today to go along with everything. \u00a0I didn’t have any explanation other than God. \u00a0He began telling me that for over 3 weeks he’s been dealing with a call issued from another church and has had no peace. \u00a0That the pastor has been praying with him over this. \u00a0After we sang, I used my friend and told the story that led into Jonah. \u00a0He said that as I began that story, his mouth dropped and God assured Him of His calling.<\/p>\n
How about that? \u00a0So, God saved some little guys today and worked in a pastor’s heart to trust Him and go to “Nineveh”. \u00a0Thank you Lord!<\/p>\n
As a matter of prayer, my voice is really struggling right now. \u00a0My desire is to finish this camp season strong and I would appreciate your prayers that I may do so. \u00a0I have a service tonight, one tomorrow and a service Sunday morning so please pray. \u00a0God is at work…<\/p>\n
On the homefront, Patty’s dad is not feeling any ill effects from his first chemo treatment. \u00a0Thank you for your prayers there too! \u00a0I’ll try to keep you up on everything!<\/p>\n
Blessings,
