It was my privilege this July 19-25 to preach the Camargo, Ky camp meeting. It was extremely hot but that did not dampen the spirit of those who were there. As a young man I attended Camargo a couple of time in the 1970’s but had been unable to give the time to it since then. It was a real pleasure for me as I preached 8 times and led 4 conferences as well as attending 5 other worship services. While I was there I preached on the truths that God has blessed our Movement with and found the people to be very receptive. I want to thank you for enabling me to do this.
The life of our congregation is filled with all kinds of events and investments of time and money. On July 19 our youth returned from a trip to Florida where they went to our International Youth Convention. Anita Miller, our youth pastor, took a total of 53 youth and counselors with her and they were able to have a marvelous time in the Lord. Thank you Anita along with all your counselors and the parents who made this happen.
Our Faith Promise Campaign will be on August 15 with Dr. and Carolyn Sirker being our guest speakers. For those of you who do not know the Sirkers they work at our Missions Compound in Nicaragua. I have had the privilege of meeting them and seeing their work first hand and you will not regret getting to hear about the lives that are being helped and changed through the efforts of this congregation there as well as their leadership. I ask you to pray about the part you play in missions and ask God to guide you on what you would promise. Remember Faith Promise is not taking money from anything you currently do or receive! But it is believing that God will give you money from an unexpected place and you will be the conduit through whom He sends it to missions work. Our missions steward, Kim Trantham, and her team have been working hard to make sure we are ready for this time will you pray that we see the will of God done in it all?
