Camps, Zooms and Ranches

Ozark Family Camp
We as a family, just wrapped up a fantastic week at Turkey Hill Ranch Bible Camp near Jefferson City Missouri! I had the privilege of being one of the speakers and I preached on the topic of "Attitudes in Hell that should exist in the Church" (evangelism). It was great to be together seeking the Lord at a beautiful camp setting with about 120 brothers and sisters of all ages. There were lots of kids, lots of parents, lots of grandparents and lots of mutual encouragement. We are so grateful for our time there!


Zoom conferences
As you all know, zoom meetings are the thing to do now and it will probably be that way for the foreseeable future. Virtual meetings have become a big part of our schedule and just last month I was able to zoom in with messages to Colombia, Peru, India, and different states around the USA. One good thing about this pandemic is that believers everywhere have realized how easy it is to travel across the world (virtually) and hold gospel meetings without the hassle and cost of an airplane fight. Of course this isn't ideal but its better than nothing and it has enabled me to preach in several different countries, all in the same day!


Kansas Bible camp
We thank the Lord that some churches and camps and home-groups are starting to meet in person again. In early July I was able to speak to about 200 high-schoolers that had gathered at Kansas Bible Camp near Hutchinson. The Lord really seemed to use our time there and He blessed our family too as we were greatly encouraged by the staff that invited us. Bible camps are such a useful tool in the Lord's hands! Often times these weeks out at camp are a spiritually pivotal time the life of a young person. Please pray for us as we try to make the most of these camp opportunities!


Lubbock Texas
After our stop at Kansas Bible Camp we went further south to Lubbock Texas where we participated in a reunion of students and teachers from the Galilee Discipleship Program. We had a fantastic time studying through the first four chapters of Matthew with about 40 college and career young adults that came from all over the country. Aside from the times of study and worship there were plenty of games and food and even a Texas Ranch field trip! We had a blast together as a family and best of all it was sooo encouraging to be with a group of young people that are passionate about living for the Lord in this extraordinary time in history!


Colorado Springs
For the last year we have been praying about a possible church plant in Colorado Springs. We have never been there before and we didn't really know anyone there until recently. On our way back to Iowa from Texas we went through Colorado for an exploratory trip and God really surprised us with some very open doors! I was unexpectedly asked to preach at one of the assemblies in town and as a result we made a lot of great contacts. We ended up staying at an amazing high desert ranch where we were able to spend some time discussing and praying about these future possibilities. We don't know what the Lord will do.... all we know is that we long to see evangelism, discipleship and church planting happening across North America.


Missions quote for the day by Jim Elliot: "Father, make me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not be a milepost on a single road; make me a fork, that men must turn one way or the other on facing Christ in me."
