Praise the Lord that more has been accomplished in preparing for the August 12-16 youth camp.  Our biggest need at the moment is MORE CAMPERS.  Please pray for God to put us in touch with those interested in attending as well as that they will register.  Psalm 16:11 states: “You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever.”  We are praying that through the camp experience we can help students become aware of the life promised by the Creator, helping them to begin walking toward a life in relationship with Christ.

Many people have advice regarding the content of the “Happy Home Event” program and how to promote it.  Please pray for wisdom and good communication as Lorne works on the preparations for this August 16 event.  Progress is being made, but there are always more things popping up, adding to the “to do” list.

We plan to be at the annual Taiwan Missionary Fellowship Conference this week.  It is a time for fellowship with friends and for spiritual nourishment.  Please pray for the speakers, volunteer workers in the children/youth programs, and the Holy Spirit’s work throughout the week.

We are thankful for how well Sherry has done moving to Taiwan, making friends, and getting used to rural living.  God has even given her a few special opportunities to witness about her faith.  Her summer schedule is busy with work and helping at the church camp.  Please pray she will have physical, emotional, and spiritual energy for each day.

We are thankful for unexpected questions and unscheduled visits that sometimes happen in the course of everyday life.  Please pray for us to have the right words to say and to know the appropriate things to do in these situations.  We want others to see the presence of Christ in our everyday lives.
