Autumn Newsletter 08 - August 2, 2008
Dear Friends in Christ,
First, I want to take some time to let everyone know how deeply I appreciate the support and fellowship that each of you has given me these past 18 years. I came to New Life Bible Camp in April of 1990, and I jut completed my 19th summer camp program. I would like to express to each of you my abiding thanks and appreciation for financial support as well as prayer support. The Lord continues to bless my efforts and I find myself anticipating great opportunities ahead to serve Him. Thanks for your fellowship and partnership in the gospel of Christ.
I am still serving my term as President of the Allegheny Section (Western PA) which is part of Christian Camps Conference Association. This is my last year as President, but have been asked to continue on as a cabinet member for another two years. This past February, I ran my first sectional conference. We had camp leaders from all over the state gather at Rhodes Grove Conference Center for a time of fellowship and educational training. It was the best attended conference we have ever had, and our speaker, Greg Alderman, did a superb job for us. I had the opportunity to lead worship with some musicians from other camps, and that turned out to be a wonderful experience.
The retreat season at New Life Lodge begins August 3rd with the youth from Christ Victory Church. There are still a few open weekend in SEP and NOV, but for the most part, the fall will be a busy time for me as I get to lead worship and help groups run their various retreats. It is a fun job and I am glad that I get to do it.
“But the God of all grace, who has called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that we have suffered a while, make us perfect, established, strengthen, and settled. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever
1 Peter 5:10-11
In Christ,
Andy
