Father's day was a good reminder of the great responsibility and privilege that the Lord has given to me as the dad of six children. I thank the Lord for the kids that He has blessed Amy and I with! I've been struck lately with the fact that fatherlessness is one of the biggest contributing factors to the brokenness that we see in our society today. Please pray for me as a husband and father. When I get this right all other ministries seem to fall into place.
After a great Father's day celebration I drove across the state to "Iowa Bible Camp" which decided to remain open and functioning, even in the midst of COVID-19 concerns! Praise the Lord that there are still a few camps that haven't shut down.... And praise the Lord that no one got sick! The week served as a major fork in the road for the teens who attended. In the mornings I preached about our spiritual battle and in the evenings I gave gospel messages. It is absolutely amazing how the world the flesh and the devil are doing everything they can to brainwash a younger generation. Their only hope is the gospel and a firm foundation on Gods word! Please pray for the campers that heard the messages.... each one having so much potential to be a useful instruments in the Masters hands....
The Lord really did great things in the hearts of many of the young people! On Tuesday it became evident that there were a lot sin and addiction issues, but then there seemed to be a breakthrough on Wednesday. On Thursday night the Lord brought a lot of conviction and repentance..... It's hard to explain what happened but God really did something special! There was a lot of brokenness and restoration as many campers were confessing sin, getting alone with God and responding to the gospel. God is worthy of our praise!!!!
Missions quote for the day by Hudson Taylor: “Oh that God would make hell so real to us that we cannot rest, heaven so real that we must have men there, Christ so real that our supreme motive and aim shall be to make the man of sorrows the man of joy by the conversion to Him of many”
Micah for the Tuttle's
