August Update, a set on Flickr.

Hey everyone! We've been so busy that we have not been able to post a new update in over a month! So much has happened in the last 30+ days, and we really want to keep sharing with you about the work here and what the Lord is doing in the mountain towns of Colorado!

After hosting/running retreats here, we switched gears and gave our attention and energy to the church plant, and making it as excellent as possible! We have JUST completed a construction project in the church in order to update the interior, and build children’s ministry class rooms. We prayed for the workers and the feasibility to help complete the project, and God moved on the hearts of a group of believers from Temecula, and from Aurora; two separate crews came out and we assisted with sweat and hours of work! It’s finally finished! Praise the Lord! It looks great!

Because of the construction project, we have been having outreach services in the park for SEVEN SUNDAYS now, and we will continue to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ out in the park on Sunday mornings through the month of September! We have seen the Lord move in many people’s lives, and have seen a number of people dedicating and rededicating their lives to Jesus!

The Lord has been giving me a LOT of grace in the worship ministry where I have grown, and am seeing the Lord use me there to encourage, build up and disciple the church body here. Gabby is running an awesome & happening children’s ministry which has grown! She is impacting those little hearts for Jesus and doing an amazing job at it with her lesson plans and crafts.

Back at the camp, we have been working really hard preparing for the Bible college semester. I have been overseeing and maintaining the facility - fixing everything from washer machines, to chainsaws, taking out the trash – and assisting Pastor Jeff with whatever he needs. Gabby has organized/planned out pretty much every detail for the Bible College semester from meals, classes, schedules, etc. – this could not happen without her! A LOT goes into these ministries! The Lord has been giving us a LOT of grace and endurance to faithfully serve here where He has called us! The hours are long, workers are few, the hats we wear are many, and the God we serve is good!

Bible College students just arrived, and we are taking them to Lost Lake tomorrow (Tuesday) through Friday. There we will orient them regarding the Bible College, we’ll get to know each other, and we will daily worship and teach them in the Word of God… not to mention great views, fishing and hiking =) Our heart is to mentor/disciple these young adults in their kowledge of the Word of God, that they would grow deeper in their walks with Him, and go further in their faith.

As the Lord has been working here more and more, the warfare has really intensified on several fronts which has been challenging; we covet your prayers. Thank you - we are confident in our God!

Your love and support are extremely appreciated! Knowing that we have loved ones praying for us gives us so much encouragement! From the bottom of our hearts, we are so thankful for all of you! And thank you for following our Blog/updates. God bless you guys!!!!!

In His Service,

Adriel & Gabriella
