Ministering At Camp Ray Bird

The last couple of days have been a difficult time in the life of our teens.  While on their mission's trip at Camp Ray Bird they experienced the trajedy of one of their campers passing out and later dying. Along the way the Lord used this to encourage a greater trust in the Lord and perseverance as the teens continue to minister while grieving for the young camper Seth Oyola. Sometimes in life we have no answers for why God would allow such heartache.  But in the midst of the pain, our loving shepherd stands with us as we waver in our faith. The experience ends up strengthening our faith for this is way beyond what we can handle or figure out.

As He says in His word - He works all things together for good (Rom. 8:28).His good is so often rooted in the soil of our doubts, fears and questions.   SELAH

Loving Ministry

The Lord continues to show me His faithfulness on a daily basis.  Church and ministry is a lot of fun because of the great group of people I have an opportunity to minister along side of.  A church family that loves well provides the best kind of environment for spirtual growth. Great friends with a whole lot of love and encouragement is something the Lord has provided for my ministry. As a pastor I am truly blessed to shepherd the MCC flock.
