Happy Trails

Well, I'm off to Columbus this weekend. It has been a good couple of weeks at home sharing with different individuals and getting some office work done, but I'm anxious to travel and visit with some more of my ministry partners! I'll be heading to Peace United Methodist Church where I've visited twice before. Each time the church has had a new pastor and this time is no different. I'm excited to see old friends and visit with Pastor Ben. From my chat with him, he's enjoying the church and learning much from his congregation. It will be good to fellowship with them all. Another blessing about this trip is that I'll be staying with my brother, Gary. I have yet to see him since I've been home. Hopefully we'll have a good time together. ;D Well, off to bed...have a busy day planned for tomorrow! Until next week...

Camp Sychar

July 29th and 30th were spent in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, at a holiness family camp: Camp Sychar. The first time I attended the camp was in 1991. I absolutely loved it!! Though the camp has changed a lot over the years, the people remain the same. It's wonderful to go back and visit with old friends and make some new ones. The 29th was Missionary Day at the camp and I was able to hear some OMS speakers along with WGMers Barbara Pinkley (Kenya) and Ubaldo and Teresa Salazar (Nicaragua). Ubaldo, Teresa and I were on the Mexico field together for a little while. Their work in Aguascalientes, a city just two hours from Irapuato, resulted in a new church plant. Today Felipe and Ana Coronado, a Mexican couple, are pastoring the church. Please lift them up in prayer! I'm now at home again trying to put things in order. There's tons to do around here! I think one of the biggest plans is a huge lawn sale. Dad has an acre and I think we just might fill it. So, if you're in the area, come on over and make a purchase. I'll post dates later. Blessings!
