I asked Christina to join me this month for our video update for two reasons.
1. So she can share a little about the girls camp that she just go back from earlier this week.
2. So it would be more interesting for you to watch!
This month we have an exciting announcement for you but you’ll just have to watch the video to find out what it is!
Girls Camp
Christina returned earlier this week from girls camp. She spent 5 days with 19 young girls. The theme was “Between Us Girls” and they covered many topics that girls often have question about but might not feel comfortable asking with boys around.
Many of the girls who attended are not from believing families and some of them made a commitment to follow Christ. Pray that the gospel would be clear in the minds and hearts of these girls and that they would get plugged into the church.
Russia Report
Again thank you for praying for our missions trip to Russia where we helped start a new church. If you haven’t heard the report then you need to check out the podcast!
Prayer Requests for August
1. Pray for our baptism coming up on August 18th. We will baptize 13 people! Please pray for the spiritual preparation of all who will be baptized, pray for the hearts of unbelieving friends and relatives who will come and pray for me as I prepare to preach!
2. Pray for our church as we decide what to do with all the people! Our facility is filling up with around 200 every Sunday now. The seats are filled and some people are even standing. We need wisdom to know how to deal with this wonderful problem!
3. Pray for the missions conference coming up on August 30-31 in Kiev. I will attend with two other faculty members. We will be representing the Church Ministries Institute and the Good Soil Evangelism and discipleship seminars.
4. Pray for Christina and our kids as they get ready to start the school year again!
Big Announcement!

We will be in Minnesota and Pennsylvania in July 2014. It’s possible that we will go through Missouri on our way back. Stay tuned, I’m still working out our schedule.
