This
month has been a busy, but rewarding month as we traveled across Butler County
teaching 5-Day Clubs. We have reached many children, counseled several for
assurance, and had the privilege of seeing one young girl come to Christ. Alex,
one of our summer missionaries, describes it like this: “The experience is
thrilling, knowing that another soul has been won for the Kingdom.” We are also
thrilled and we hope you are too. Thank you again for your support-you are a
part of a life changing ministry!
Along
with our 5-Day Clubs we have also been preparing for our venture to the CEF
Christian Ministries Institute this fall. We will be taking required classes in
Missouri from September all the way through the end of October. We would really
appreciate your prayers as we prepare both mentally and physically for yet
another big task while we are still in the midst of ministry.
While
having devotions this morning I was reminded once again of the importance of
our task and its impact on eternity. Matthew 13:47-50 says, “Again, the kingdom
of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every
kind. When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good
into containers but threw away the bad. So it will be at the end of the age.
The angles will come out and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them
into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing
teeth.” How many fish will be thrown into the furnace? What can I do today to
increase the number who will be ushered into the kingdom? We pray that you
would ask yourself this same question.
