We just finished our camping season at Grace Haven Bible Camp! It's been an amazing 2 weeks. (Pictures are posted below the update)
John was able to take time off work so he could spend the week at teen camp. They had 83 teen campers! The Lord really used the week to make an impact on the kids. Seven kids placed their trust in Christ and several others shared that they grew in their walk with the Lord during camp.
Jr Camp was also a great week. We had over 60 kids. It was such a blessing to see some of our youth from the surrounding Bible churches commit themselves to being camp counselors for the 8-11 year olds. We are so thankful for the teens that have been faithful leaders throughout the year and watch them to lead our younger kids.
We are so excited to see how God is going to use our camp in the years to come. Please pray with us as we look to next year and start planning!

ANSWERS TO PRAYER
*We want to say THANK YOU for your prayers for our family as we have been on deputation. We are so excited that we are already at 50% of our financial support. We are praying to be at full support by the time John quits his job in November. The Lord has been so faithful (as always) in providing for our family. Please continue to pray as we will be traveling again in September.
*Ben Cline, our associate pastor, has also sold his home (they are in closing) and will be able to move on to LaGrange, WY to serve at Tentmakers Bible Mission.

PRAYER REQUESTS
*Please pray for our church during this time of transition as Ben and his family will be moving on. They have been such a huge part of Grace- and we are thankful for those who have been stepping up to help out with some of those responsibilities.
*Please pray for John as he will be preaching full time at Grace beginning in September. Pray for time management as he will be working his secular job until November.
*Please continue to pray for the new baby girl on the way. We are so thankful that everything has gone smoothly and the baby looks healthy from the ultrasound. Due date is November 17th.
Again- thank you so much for your prayers and support! We are so thankful to have so many people remembering us in thier prayers!
