October Update, a set on Flickr.
Wow! We can’t believe it is already the end of October - the month flew by! We have been very, very busy with the Bible College and Church. By God’s grace we have continued to grow and be stretched in many areas. God is doing a great work out here in Glenwood!
The Lord has been blessing the church so abundantly! We did two more Sundays in the park until we were forced to head inside because of the cold weather. It was such a neat opportunity that the Lord used to reach the lost and to get people familiar with Calvary Chapel. Our first Sunday morning in the building was with great joy! There was a new stage that Adriel and two other men at the Church built as well as new lights and different equipment that we had been in need of - it was awesome! We were also able to have children’s ministry in their own class room for the first time- the kids loved it! Not only is the physical building coming together but more importantly the body of Christ is being built up! Just this past Sunday two more people put their trust in Jesus and were saved! One of the girls that received the Lord had been invited by one of our Bible College students; we had been praying for her in our intercessory prayer time at the Bible College for a month! Praise the Lord that He heard our prayers!
God is so good! We have seen such growth in the Bible College students; we are amazed at the difference we see in their attitudes and their desire to serve. They have been very active in serving at the church helping in worship, hospitality, greeting, sound, and children’s ministry! They only have three weeks left here, and we are sad to see them go, but excited that they are able to go and pour out all that they have learned by being a light and witness to their friends and family back home.
We are already praying for this next upcoming Spring semester that the Lord would bring students who desire to go deeper in their walks with the Lord, learn more about His Word, and are willing to sacrifice normal comforts to seek Him without distraction in the mountains! We are also very excited for the Holidays - Thanksgiving and Christmas! Our Children’s ministry is going to be putting on a Christmas Program in where they will perform in the main sanctuary in December; practices start next Sunday! We have begun winterizing the property and have more winterization still!
*Need: We are in need of someone to join our team (support staff) who has administrative experience! **Our winter plow truck has a blown engine, and may only last one or two storms - hopefully =)
There is much going on, and much more to do, both at the church, and here at the camp/Bible College! Thank you all for your support and prayers! We love and miss you all, and are praying for you!
