We are so overwhelmed by God’s grace and blessings to us this year! This year we had 111 teenagers go with us to various churches to run our sports camp Bible schools. This was our largest group ever! We took three trips to Bradshaw, WV, Ringgold, GA, and Southport, NC/Olyphic, NC.
We began our summer with a trip to West Virginia. God blessed us richly on this trip. On top of the sports camp Bible school, we were able to participate in numerous work projects including: painting, electrical work, building, pouring concrete, etc. The people of Bradshaw were very appreciative, and this trip once again showed that God is rich in grace and mercy.
Our second trip of the year was to Ringgold, GA. We conducted out work at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church. Pastor Neil Grimes is the former pastor at Shoreline Baptist Church in Southport, and he invited us to
come this year to have our program at his church. God did not disappoint. We had a fantastic camp with the kids, and we had several of our own mission team members come to know Christ on this trip. When God saves a soul we can do nothing but stand in awe of His grace. We were able to minister to many teenagers in the area as well, and we’ve made great contacts for future kingdom work in the area. We can’t wait to go back next year!
Our third and final trip of the summer was a 2-for-1. We conducted two sports camps in the same week at Shoreline Baptist Church in
Southport, NC and Olyphic Baptist Church in Olyphic, NC. We started our camps in the morning in Southport, and then we sent a team every night about an hour away to conduct another sports camp in the evenings. This time proved to be tiring, but God provided us with the strength to get through it, and we were blessed richly for it. While the Olyphic team was running the evening camp, we did a teen ministry in Southport led by Mark McKinney and Jonathan Lunceford. During this time we had another mission team member come to know Christ as his Savior. We were so blessed by God during this time!
Thank you so much for all of your prayers and financial support for us. Without the faithful support of all of you, we would not be able to do what we do. Keep us in prayer throughout this fall/winter as we conduct our school ministries and basketball coaching.
