Ministry Update

Nothing new with my health - waiting for my July 1st appointment with OHSU.



I did want to send you an excerpt from my friend and team mate Lisa Dirrim's newsletter about the recent camp our team participated in.



Family camp started out in a bit of confusion. When they loaded the buses down town, it appeared that 23 guests had not come, so camp would not be full. We started making phone calls and soon had 23 new guests invited. We sent Kenn back with the church van and another vehicle to pick them up. As the guests came off the boat and we checked them in, we were only missing 5 guests! Now we had more guests coming than we had space. After a bit of scrambling it all worked out, but some of the most significant things that happened at camp, happened with the guests who were invited late. God knew they needed to come, even if we didn’t invite them the first time. We ended up with 85 guests and 77 staff for a total of 162. The camp is owned by Hellenic Ministries, but the staff for the week came from Helping Hands (our ministry here), Oasis (the southern Baptist ministry here), a group from Harding College, a group from Grace Baptist Newhall, and others from South Africa, Czech, Albania, Iran, Afghanistan, France, England, Greece, and South Africa. The predominant languages for the week, were Dari and/or Farsi.



I had 14 kids under the age of 5. We were on a rug under a big tent with 3 women’s discussion groups meeting nearby. About half of the smaller kids ran back and forth to their moms. The first session was at 10 in the morning and the last one finished at 11 pm or later. The days were long with lots of fun activities in the afternoons, swimming, a climbing wall, archery, and canoeing. In Tasha’s discussion group, they decided to pray for 1 women and her needs each time they were together. The second time they met, before she could pick a lady, one asked to be prayed for. She asked for prayer that “she would have the faith to believe what was writing in the book (the Bible, the Injil). Another Muslim women prayer for her in the name of Jesus. By the end of the week this women’s prayer was answered. The next time they met, a women prayed that her husband in Germany would come to Christ first. Before they even climbed the hill to get the snack following the prayer time, this man called and told his wife, he had decided to follow Jesus. After this, every woman wanted to be next. While we did not see very many choose to follow Jesus during camp, many wanted more time to count the cost of following Jesus before making a decision. It was a very good camp.



Kenn was part of a men’s discussion group in addition to organizing and working at the first aid station. It was his joy to see the men who came to Christ last year at camp, come back as volunteers and serve as translators or kitchen workers and to see them share Christ with other men during the quiet moments at camp.



Please pray for those who made decisions and for those who heard but are counting the cost. Pray for chances for our team to share further with those who are seeking.
