FRIDAY, 6/20/08
I am pretty good at making mistakes and I just realized tonight that I made another one! Wes Bates, son in the ministry and student minister at Durant Chapel, celebrated his birthday this past Tuesday, 6/17, too. So, a belated happy birthday to Wes and a request for forgiveness – it has been a wild week!
The fourth day of this camp went very well. The service last night was awesome! I really don’t know all that God has done within the lives of our students and adults but hope that it is manifested real soon. I can say that this group has been very well behaved as they have given us zero problems.
Please join us in praying for Kayla Carpenter. She has been the Wild Week staff member assigned to us this week and she has been a sweetheart. She has a lot of stuff going on in her life right now and could use the prayer support.
I just read the blog entry of our summer missionary and she is doing well. As a matter of fact, she is the only one of the group that was not stricken with the virus. So, keep praying!
Bro. Jerry sent me a message saying that Clara Broadus is at home and doing well. Bro. Robbie did not have his surgery. I do not have an update on Bro. Johnny Tucker. Pray for these folks.
We are having a “packing party” this Sunday evening, 6/22, for the members of our 6/27 – 7/4 GRACE team. This “party” will take place immediately following the evening worship service.
Speaking of Guatemala, the Montgomery team arrived safely yesterday. The Ohio team is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. The heavy rains continue daily so pray that they can get the work completed.
Please remember the meeting to discuss the proposed 2008-09 budget this Sunday, 6/22, at 4:00PM with a vote being taken during the evening service. Also, we will elect three men to serve as deacons for the next three years. These are important matters and you are asked to pray!
Sommer Brock and Benny McGath are celebrating their birthday today. I think Bro. Benny is older! Happy birthday to Sommer and Bro. Benny!
We are scheduled to leave Orange Beach at 10:00AM which means we should be at the church around 11:30AM.
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus!
