God answer’s prayer

An answer to many prayers came this past month. A young lady from WIU began playing guitar for our Depth Charge group. I am so thankful for her and her attitude about wanting to serve God and help teens grow in their walk with the Lord. Please pray for Amanda as she balances, school, life and ministry. Pray for the teens coming to Depth Charge as we study the book of Revelation. Many thoughts have been stirred. Pray for a deepening of faith and a willingness to share their lives with others.

Mark, Chuck and I took 11 junior high boys camping October 1-2. Remember those days? I do. I remember when some adults from my church took me camping, fishing, and hiking. It was a blast! Well, we fished, took a night hike, told stories (including the gospel), asked spiritual questions, had smores, and topped it all off with a big breakfast. That was the largest amount of boys we have ever taken. Praise the Lord.

A night at CL M

What do you get when you put 26 junior high students (including two of my own) in a room with 7 adults? A pretty fun night! That’s exactly what happened on Monday night, Oct. 4 at Campus Life M. We played a couple versions of the game “telephone”, had small group discussion on the subject of gossip, challenged students to act differently in the face of gossip, and had some free time afterwards to eat and mingle with students. We are blessed in Bushnell with many caring adults that want to build into the lives of teens! Thank you Gary, Lisa, Mark, Chuck, Kelly, and Mary Beth. Please pray for them as they serve the teens, sharing Christ with them, and making a difference in their lives
