Thank you all for your love, support, and prayers which have been very meaningful and encouraging to us!

With much vision, potential, opportunities, and work... we have changed gears towards the church plant! Over the last few weeks we have been going over staff training and church planting direction.

Adriel is now leading worship and Gabby has been overseeing the children's ministry at Calvary Chapel Glenwood Springs which has been a blessing as we seek to disciple and bless the church body here! We are building a children's ministry here; setting the curriculum and policies in place, and we will be soon launching an awesome children's ministry which we are very excited about! We will continue spending more time in the church plant as we believe this is what the Lord wants us to do now. The Lord is randomly brining new people to service each week!

In addition to the many projects here at the camp, we are also undertaking a construction project to physically build the children's ministry with sound proof walls and two new class rooms!

We are also going over training to run a Bible College semester for this Fall! Students arrive at the end of August, so we are doing an accelerated training. =) But with much prayer and preparation, we are looking forward to an awesome semester to pour into and disciple these young people to grow in their walks with Jesus. The semester theme will be Church Planting; so we will have the students involved and frequently in Glenwood Springs, ministering to the church and community.
We also have two retreats coming in for the last two weeks of July! We are looking forward to meeting a lot of sweet people =) 67 people from Delta & Denver are coming in tomorrow! Should be fun ;)

We are moving forward! And we encourage all who read this to also continue moving forward in your relationship with Jesus, and your knowledge/obedience to His Word!

We have been working hard, and long hours, but we cannot express how blessed we are to be a part of this ministry and serving the Lord here! Again, thank you all for all of your support and encouragement! We miss and love you all VERY MUCH!

"But Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the Kingdom of heaven.’" -Matthew 19:14

(p.s. we now have two, mini donkeys, and Gabby is NOT allergic! PTL!)
