September Update, a set on Flickr.
Hey everyone! Greetings from the Rocky Mountains! Fall is in full swing! The leaves have changed colors and it is breathtaking! Once they start turning yellow – there’s no stopping it! The temperature has been dropping, and we have already started to see snow on the higher elevation mountains around us! Wood has been split, kindling has been “hatcheted,” and we have begun firing up the wood stoves at camp for warmth in the mornings! It’s just beautiful!
The Lord is really moving in the lives of the Bible College students! There is such a sweet unity on campus as we are all growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus. A particularly fruitful class has been Biblical Theology, where the students are learning so much good doctrine/teaching, and are growing in their walks with Jesus. Good theology is so important because the more that you Know God, the more you will love Him, and the more that you love Him, the more you will trust Him –and that’s what He wants!
We have also taken on several projects at camp, and have begun to winterize the property as the first big freeze is happening this October (per Farmer’s Almanac). The donkey’s corral is complete, and they are loving their new home. =)
Gabby and Jenny (Pastor Jeff’s wife) JUST arrived in California. They are there for a pastor’s wives conference in Murrieta! Although she would love to see everyone, it’s a time-sensitive, work trip… But we are extremely excited to see you all in December!!!!!! =D They return Wednesday night (10/03). Please pray that they will be blessed and refreshed while at the conference. I miss my wife, already!!!!!! =)
We just had our LAST outreach service out in the park today! It was awesome, and has been an awesome 9-or-so weeks! Many people got to hear the Good News of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Please pray for those who made decision to give their lives to Jesus; that they will walk with Jesus and grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord!
*Please pray that the Lord will give Pastor Jeff & his family an open door to live closer to the church in Glenwood; *please pray for him as His arthritis has been acting up in his knee. *Please pray that God will bring people who need to hear the Gospel and surrender their lives to Him. *Please pray that the Lord will also being team members to join in this ministry as the labor is great, and the workers are few. *Please pray that the Lord will continue to provide for us. *And please pray that the Lord will give us more and more grace – every single day – to be faithful & diligent to what He has called us to. We are laboring much, “…yet not I, but the grace of God with me.” -1 Cor. 15:10
We love you all, and remember you always in our prayers!
In His Service,
Adriel & Gabriella
