Southland...Here we come!

Peter has requested that we send updates on his behalf as he will only have access to email on weekends. On the weekends, you will receive updates from Peter, but during the week his updates will come from us.

Sunday at 7 am Peter met up with Tina Parry and Charity Shambaugh at Tri-City Ministries to leave for Southland Camp. We praise the Lord for Tina and Charity allowing Peter to ride with him. The car was full of not only luggage but also hearts full of anticipation and excitement over the ministry that God will do at Southland this summer in the hearts and lives of campers, sponsors and those who will be working at the camp.

We praise the Lord for a safe trip and arrival at Southland Christian Camp around 7PM last night. Twelve hours was not too bad for the trip.

Please pray for the staff this week as they have staff training and meetings all week. Their first week of camp will begin next week (June 2-7). Rusty and I will be bringing a group of junior campers down to the camp the week of June 8-14. We look forward to watching those we know doing the work God has called them to do.

Note:
Rusty and I are very excited that Peter has this opportunity this summer. Many have asked how we could allow our son to be gone all summer, and we have to respond that we are excited that the Lord wants to use our son and that Peter is willing to do the will of God. Peter has felt for some time that God is calling him into the Camping Ministry. We are excited for him to have this first hand experience of what is it like to work at a camp and is praying that if this is indeed God's will for Peter's life that God will confirm this in his heart this summer. Please pray with us regarding this. We like to help our children prepare for what they believe is God's will by choosing school courses, church activities, and other opportunities that will help prepare them for future ministry.
