After a week of preparation work, camp started for us in the mountains of southern New Mexico. This week of camp—it was supposed to be two but got shortened to one at the last minute—was a combined junior/teen week. I was to preach to the juniors while my dear friend Dwight Smith preached to the teens. The Lord blessed us with seven salvation decisions and a host of other decisions as well.
Though the plan was for me to preach to the juniors, Bro. Smith insisted that I take two of the teen slots. The Lord greatly used those two messages to speak to the hearts of the teens. At the testimony service Friday night, many specifically mentioned decisions that had been made during those two preaching times.
For the first time in several years, Sarah and I were able to celebrate our anniversary on the actual day, June 17. It has been thirteen wonderful years for us and we praise the Lord for the wonderful life we have had together.
While we have been in the southwest, the Lord has opened up other doors of ministry in NM and AZ in addition to camp. After this coming Sunday, we will pack up our trailer and begin the long trek to SD where we will be for a while before spending time in CO before we once again turn eastward.
Thank you for all your prayers for us. We are grateful to see how God is answering on a regular basis.
