Friends:
So far this summer we have
conducted 3 VBS: 2 at area churches and one at Casey Town Hall, about 8
miles from us in the middle of the woods. At Casey we had 16 kids
attend. One of the unique things about this Town Hall is that it does
not have a bathroom, so we have to pay for a porta potty to be brought
in. The kids
really love this. It beats the old out house that we used to use. Three teenage girls were our helpers and did a great job. July
12th - 16 we will be conducting VBS at Grace Life Church in Anoka, MN.
The next week we will be at Trego Community Church in Trego, Wi.
Please
pray for:
1. The
VBS's that are already done and for the
lives of the kids and helpers. Pray for Grace Life and Trego that God
would provide workers and above all kids for those 2 weeks. Pray for the
salvation of those who come who do not know Jesus as Savior, yet.
2.
August 1 - 7, will be
North Land Bible Camp. Pray for Paul Frey as he
directs camp and for the other 40 adult staff that will help in various
positions. Above all pray for the campers that come that God will work
in their lives. August 1st will be Staff day at camp getting ready for
the campers to come and some training time for new workers. Pray for the
finances of camp this year as food prices have gone up as well as the
cost to rent the camp. Having an extra Staff day will also increase our
costs, but will be worth it. Camp Webpage:

3. Pray for the
Barron Church
as we have several projects that need to be done and
WE NEED HELP to
get them done. The parsonage is long over due to be re-painted and the
rain gutters need to be fixed before winter. The church also has a short
handicap ramp that needs to be re-done, along with a few other
projects. Please be in prayer for either a church to partner with us in
these projects or for some volunteers that would be willing to give of
some time and energy.
Also be in prayer for a new or like
new Lawn Tractor. The old one (32 years old) is beyond repair. The
church simply does not have extra money ($1400.00) to buy a tractor at this time,
so pray that God will provide.
THANK YOU for praying and for caring!
