a week into our 2nd training camp...

Well, we have been back in PA for a week now.  It has been an amazing, event-filled week.  Two days after we returned, we began our meetings.  We ministered at Capitol Baptist Church (Harrisburg, PA) on Sunday morning, and at Bible Baptist Church (Harrisburg, PA) that evening.  We stayed right at BBC for Monday and Tuesday as we ministered at their church-school.  We had fantastic chapel times with about 250 high school students and about 2 elementary students. God really did a great work as we saw about 40 teens buying the Q.T (quiet time) challenge.  We are praying that those books will be used to strengthen their walk with Jesus Christ. 
 
We have a busy few months ahead of us.  I will not take time to tell you about the entire schedule right now... if you would like to see it, please visit our website: www.encounterrevival.org .  Continue to pray with me about making decisions concerning my future here with Enounter.  Also, pray with us as we all raise money for our mission trip.  Everyone needs to raise $3000 for this trip.  We are so excited about what God is doing in India.  I am especially excited about seeing my three little kids (the little ones I have the honor of sponsoring)! 
 
Before I sign off, I would like to share a two verses with you (this is my prayer for the next few months... and for the rest of my life!):
 
"But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.  Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.  For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count the as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ."  Philippians 3:7,8
