Well, by the time you read this we wiII be wrapping up an intensive month of
ministry focused on our children and our young people. We have invested
time, energy, prayers, hope, and faith to teach and reach those who God the
Father created and God The Son died for.

We know that the best time to reach someone with the Gospel is when they
are young. This is why we do VBS and why we send young adults to Falls
Creek. Again, the older a person gets, the harder it is to reach them. I can
count on one hand the number of people in 'old age' that I have been blessed
to pray with to receive Christ. Trust me, it is still worth it, and indeed our
call, to share Jesus with anyone and everyone, regardless of age.

There were three children who prayed to receive Christ in VBS. None of the
three attend Belview, and in fact they only attended for a couple of the five
nights. By the Grace of God they were there for the decision service. Each
one of them received individual counseling and individual assistance when
praying. We are following up as best we can. IBS was a success.

Falls Creek is still mid-stream as I write (pun intended). There have been
two decision services so far, and three more to follow. Just as important,
there are also three more evening cabin devotions to go-amazing things
happen at Falls Creek. Results to be shared when they are available, and
prayers are always appreciated and powerful.

Well, that covers May and June. Here comes late June (considered recovery
time) and then July, what are we going to do about July?

I am working on, contemplating, weighing options, exploring possibilities,
searching through the cob webs in my brain, trying to 'think outside the box',
and yes, seeking the leadership and will of God. I desire to put something
together for senior adults for the summer. Currently I don't know what it will
Iook like, what it will be comprised of, or even when it will happen, but God
does. Stay posted and keep praying.

And welcome home Falls Creek sponsors and campers.

                 BLESSINGS, PRAYERS, AND AGAPE,
