This summer has been a busy one
for me. In the month of June I was a
part of the mission team that went to
the American Indian Christian
Mission in Show Low, Arizona. It
was a great blessing to be a part of
the ministry taking place to the
Navajo and Apache Indians there.
Each morning our team worked at
the mission, performing various “odds
and ends” kind of jobs to improve the
buildings and grounds. Then in the
afternoon we traveled to different
neighborhoods of an Apache
reservation to lead children in games,
crafts, music, and a Bible lesson.
Susan and I had the opportunity to
counsel three girls about baptism,
and the following morning we
witnessed nine baptisms! Praise the
Lord! I think we were a great
blessing to the mission and the
children to whom we ministered, but
just as importantly, they were a
tremendous blessing to us. Special
thanks to our mission team – Rick
Welton, Cody Monkman, Jim Roach,
Whitney and Morgan Runge, Barry
and Sherry French and their
granddaughter, Abby, and my family,
Susan, Hannah and Jackson. Special
thanks to our Quilters who shipped forty
quilts to the mission (they have made
165 quilts for the mission over the years),
and a very special thanks to all of you
who supported us with your prayers and
finances. You were a blessing to us, and
we could not have done this without you.
About 11 hours after we drove back to
Decatur from the airport in Blmgt/
Normal on Saturday night, I preached
here at MZCC, and then just a few hours
after our church services were over I was
off to Little Galilee Christian Camp for a
week with 5th and 6th graders. Of the 112
campers, 36 made decisions for Christ
and 24 were baptized! Glory be to God!
People often ask me questions about
various topics. Some are doctrinal, such
as, “Why does our church observe the
Lord’s Supper every Sunday?” Some are
practical, like, “Is church membership
necessary or important?” On September
4th we’re going to have an “Ask the
Pastor” Sunday. Instead of preaching a
traditional sermon, I’m going to answer
your questions. So during the month of
August, I invite you to submit your
questions to me. You can e-mail them to
me or fill out the connection card that’s
in your Sunday bulletin and place it on
my desk before you leave. I’m looking
forward to hearing from you!
See you Sunday!
