Hello Folks,
This week has been filled with both good and bad. Kevin Beck has been the speaker at our Winter Camp Meeting that began Sunday night and has been doing a very good job. He also preached here this past Sunday a.m. and was well received by the people and used by the Holy Ghost. Kevin is a wonderful friend of mine and he has two of his sons with him, Andrew age 19 and Josh age 15. They both have sensed God's call on their lives are planning on being a pastor (Andrew) and a youth and music pastor (Josh). What wonderful young men they are. But the rest of their family is also wonder. A 20 year old daugher who is preparing for music ministry at God's Bible College in Cincinnati and a 9 year old son (Jonathan) who is at home with his mother Julie. God has certainly used this family to minister to my heart and I am thankful for them.
This past Friday a good friend of mine who lived in this community committed suicide and I cannot express how this effected my heart. The family has asked me to preach the funeral so I ask you to pray for me to be able to say what needs to be said to them. What a terrible situation it is and the family is extremely broken. Lift them up to God for His care to be provided to them.
There is a young man I know who recently committed his life to Jesus and I celebrate that wonderful event. Please pray with me for him as he moves forward in his life for Christ. I am praying that I, or someone else, will be used by God to disciple him. This young man is such a wonderful young man and has such great potential. May God use him for the Kingdom.

God bless you all,

HGRudd
