Alive and Well

We are still alive and plugging along here in Buff Bay.  Here is the latest:

Over the last two weeks, we were blessed and encouraged by a youth group team from East Brandywine Baptist Church led by Josh and Jen Park, Kirsten’s cousin and his wife.  Their ministry was widespread but concentrated on building into and challenging our Youth Fellowship and teens from Buff Bay.  A “Five Night Frenzy” helped achieve these goals as the evenings were by and for the young people.  Throughout the week, several teens professed faith in Jesus Christ and even more rededicated themselves to following Jesus wholeheartedly and running the Christian race hard to the end.  It was extra special to have served alongside family members who are always encouraging and uplifting.

The next four weeks are packed with camp, camp, and more camp.  From children’s camp this week to continued planning to youth camp the second week of August, we will be running around preparing and building deeper relationships with young people.  Please be praying for the children and teens as they come to their respective summer camps.  God has been moving in the hearts of many of our Buff Bay young people, and we trust Him to draw young men and women to Himself even this summer.  As you intercede for the young people, please also pray for Jon and the other men as they teach God’s Word, pray for Kirsten as she prepares activities and picks up random pieces, pray for Trevor that he will continue to be a blessing in the community, and pray for the upcoming teams that they will grow in grace and encourage the youth to seek the Lord. 

Lastly, your Trevor update.  This little boy loves to move!  Whether running around the house, church, and yard or swimming in the ocean, he rarely stops moving until he falls asleep – sometimes quite literally.  Trevor’s happy, friendly spirit brings us great joy each day and we thank God for this precious gift.
