Camp Pearl and July ended together this year. \u00a0We had a great six weeks of camp ministry. \u00a0It was a blessing to work with so many people with a common desire to see God honored and campers “bumped closer to Christ.” \u00a0We had a phenomenal team of people at camp this year, but it is God who made our work productive. \u00a0Christ’s work in the lives of many campers was so clear. \u00a0What an awesome summer!<\/p>\n
During the two weeks since camp ended, I have been resting and spending time with people in my church. \u00a0Next week, I will travel back up to Missouri for my third semester of New Tribes Mission’s Church Planting training course. \u00a0I’m excited to continue my missions education. \u00a0New Tribes focuses on planting indigenous churches among people groups around the world that have never had access to the gospel of Christ. \u00a0We see this goal as an important part of obeying Christ’s Great Commission.<\/p>\n
I’m excited with the lineup of classes this semester. \u00a0Some of them, such as “Dobu” and “Phonemics” are geared to equip us to study and understand the culture and language of those we will someday serve. \u00a0Others, such as “Missionary Tech 2” and “Simple Living,” will help us learn to survive in the remote locations in which those people groups live.<\/p>\n
Please pray for us this semester! \u00a0Most students are not able to get regular work while in training, so finances are an issue for many of us. \u00a0Please also pray that we as students would be dedicated and focused, not losing sight of the goal Christ has given to us. \u00a0Pray that in every way, the Lord would be honored in each of our lives.<\/p>\n
Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
