You know, God is good all of the time. He is able and willing to do more than we can ask or think. Our prayer is that you are trusting Him today more than you have ever trusted Him … He is trustworthy isn't He? I thought it would be good to start this update by reminding us all of the nature of the God that has called us to service. As I type this I am reminded of so many who will read these words that have shown their hearts and faith through their sacrificial service to the people on the gulf coast. Thank you!

As you know, God has been stirring our hearts in preparation for us taking another step of faith. Well, the time has come for Martie and me to take that next step. We will leave the Shoreline volunteer camp for the next place of service within the next two weeks. We have been so blessed here. The volunteers we have worked with and the people we have served have been wonderful. God has taught us so much over the past months. Our hearts have been broken and encouraged at the same time. The need is so great, but God has brought such an increase through the faithfulness of volunteers and ministries that have supported this camp. By the time we leave, we will have hosted over a thousand volunteers.

We are leaving, but the camp and its reason for being will continue. We encourage you to continue to support the relief efforts hosted by Shoreline Park Baptist Church. Please contact Pastor Ed Murphy or Karen, his wife, to coordinate trips or support to the camp.

We are closing on our house this next week. PTL. We have so much to do since we are not buying a house. Clothes, furniture, possessions, ugh! The next few weeks will be interesting. We are meeting with some folks in the next few days to discuss an initial location for our camper and the mission. Please pray that the Lord will guide us in that decision.

Leaving this camp is difficult for us. We love the people we serve with and the people we serve. It's difficult but necessary. God is taking us deeper in our walk with Him. He shows us where we are still dependent upon the strength of our flesh and teaches us to rest in Him and not ourselves.

We are building a web site that should be fully functional in a few days.

Also, please continue to pray that God will meet our financial needs in the days ahead.

Blessings
