This month has been a blur! ACE International Student Convention, Vacation Bible School, Youth Camp, and we are just now getting to catch a breath. It has been good though. ISC was a week of good preaching and good fellowship with the family and friends we had not seen in a while. It was especially good to see several of our Australian aquaintances again.
VBS - space theme - went well. We tried some new things and God blessed. Many made decisions for the Lord during the week. We especially thank God for the workers who were willing to get involved each day. Thanks to all of them!
Teen Camp week was interrupted for Brenda and I as we returned home for the funeral of a dear brother in Christ, Robert Sandefur. Robert had suffered from lung troubles and liver cancer. He was ready to go Home, but we continue to pray for his family especially his wife of over 50 years, Elois. Returning to camp. Sand Mountain Bible Camp's board selected a new Camp Director: Duane Moore, evangelist from Georgia. We did have a good week. The Lord gave unusual liberty to the preachers. Many did business with God. God touched our hearts and renewed our vision as well.
We are praying about opportunities for a summer mission trip next year for the youth at Wildwood. Please pray with us in this matter. We want God's direction as we seek to serve Him and encourage others in their walk with Him.
Brother Bridges has asked me to preach on Sunday mornings. The Lord has laid 1 Corinthians chapter 1 on my heart so far. He is working in hearts for which we give Him all the credit and the glory. Sunday morning some that the preacher has been counselling recently came forward during the invitation to make things right with God. That blessed all of our hearts. They were back Sunday night which is a good sign, too. Pray for the ministry here at Wildwood. We want Him to work in a mighty way to save souls and to draw Christians into a close walk of fellowship and service for Him.
Well, your summer may be going faster than ours. We aren't complaining, just asking God for strength, wisdom, and His blessings.
