Dear Pastor Todd and Friends at Faith Baptist,
Thank you so much for your continued faithfulness to us through prayer and your support pf $300 in June, July, and August! We are blessed.
This summer has been very fruitful and busy! We hosted 1,150 campers at Camp Eli, and many of these individuals heard of Jesus for the first time. We know of nearly 50 who accepted Christ as their Savior. Many of these young people made decisions to deepen their walk with Christ as well. Thanks for your investment in this ministry! We also had two teams assist us in doing VBS for children in nine different towns (we will share more about that with pictures next month)!
We are near completion of the three cabins we started building on March 1! They are 1,000 square feet each and can house 24 campers. They each have two bathrooms and came out very nice! We were able to house 7 different groups in these new cabins this summer! We thank the Lord for His blessing and the generosity of so many who saw this ambitious project become a reality in such a short time! We are going to finish right on our budget, and only need about $7,000 to meet our goal!
In answer to prayer the Lord brought a gentleman named Ionut to us in June to do the tile work in the bathrooms. He has done a great job, and the bathrooms look marvelous. Ionut was recommended by a childhood friend, Vasi, who lives in our church apartment in Sinesti. Ionut has been living in England for a few years and just recently returned to Romania. Upon his return he heard that Vasi had accepted Christ as his Savior and was a changed man. After spending time at Camp Eli and hearing the gospel from many different people, Ionut prayed to receive Christ as his Savior as well. Please pray for his wife Roxana’s salvation as well.
Today, Kristin, Brianna, and I are headed to Nigeria to minister alongside of Corina for three weeks, how exciting! Your prayers are appreciated!
