This is a picture of Madison at her Peanut commissioning. She had a great time and made many new friends. Last night was Early Boot Camp commissioning. 6 teams left to start their projects overseas. It was a perfect night and an awesome service! Please remember those teams in your prayers--especially Kayla Graves who is going to Malawi. Also remember my friend, Amanda Evans, who has graduated from our Bible, Missionary and Work Training School in Florida and left last night to do her one year internship in Malawi. Amanda and I worked together in the finance department and she is very special to us. She has overcome great obstacles in her life and is eager to start work at one of our Matron Units in Malawi. Also remember the Houten family who left last night with their team to Belize. They will remain in Belize for a year after the team leaves to coordinate our base there. They have three children---Thad, Maddie and Gwen. May God bless them with health, safety and a boldness to share the Gospel!

BOOT CAMP!

Boot Camp time is almost here! We have finished our 38 days of prayer and the first "wave" of leaders arrived yesterday. It's hard to believe it is here already! Please remember our teams and leaders in prayer. Pray for their safety. Pray that their relationship with God will be strengthened during this time. Pray for the leaders for strength, wisdom, discernment, endurance, patience, mercy and compassion. Pray that these teens can impact their world for Jesus! It's an exciting time!

Also, pray for us as we try to re-erect Big Top 1 this week. It went down in a storm about a week ago and several poles had to be repaired.

Tours started yesterday at the Old Testament Tabernacle replica in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Pray for that ministry as well.

Finally, remember the orphans at our Aids Orphans Rescue Units in Africa. Pray their their stomachs would be filled and their souls would be fed. Pray for the facilitators that they would be refreshed today. Pray that not one orphan would be forgotten.

Have a great day today! Serve the Lord with gladness and enter into his presence with Thanksgiving. The Lord he is good and worthy to be praised. Praise the name of the Lord!
