We're Off Again

Tomorrow Beth and I leave for New Mexico to spend the next 9 weeks at Broken Arrow Bible Ranch. I know it's going to be an exciting and many times challenging summer. Having been the last two summers I know, to a certain extent, what those challenges may be and am already bringing those things before my Father who can handle everything. But, I also have experienced the blessings of building relationships with the staff and campers, hearing the stories of lives changed, and seeing God work in undeniable ways. I am excited to watch Beth learn, grow, and be stretched in new ways. I have great expectations of what God is going to do in me and through me. My prayer is that I would be completely selfless, so God can use me as He sees fit. It's easy to set my own ideas of what God is going to have me do, but God's teaching me to just be willing and have a heart of service. I would appreciate prayers for our safety, good health, and His strength. Pray each week that God would place the right campers in our cabins and give us opportunities to encourage and challenge them to a relationship with God. I hope that all of you have a wonderful summer!
