HI EVERYONE,

I WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO LET YOU KNOW OF THE MARVELOUS THING GOD DID AT THE IPCC YOUTH CAMP LAST WEEK. USUALLY I DON’T DO THIS KIND OF THING, BUT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE AN ENCOURAGE TO THE COMMUNITY OF BELIEVERS. THE IPCC IS A PENTECOSTAL DENOMINATION THAT HAS ITS HEADQUATERS IN LONDON, OHIO. IT’S A SMALLER DENOMINATION THAT HAS ABOUT 80 CHURCHES HERE IN THE US AND MISSIONS WORK IN 13 NATIONS.

OVER THE PAST FOUR TO FIVE YEARS, I’VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH THIS FINE DENOMINATION AT MANY OF THEIR FUNCTIONS. THIS WAS MY THIRD TIME HELPING THEM WITH THEIR YOUTH CAMPING PROGRAM. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE LORD HAS DONE GREAT THINGS EACH TIME. THIS YEAR HOWEVER WAS OFF THE CHARTS! THE FOLLOW ARE THE STATS I CALCULATED WITH REGARDS TO THE EXPERIENCES THE STUDENTS HAD DURING THIS YEAR’S CAMP. GOD WAS TRULY GLORIFIED.

FIRST TIME DECISIONS	6 STUDENTS (SALVATION)
REDEDICATIONS	40 STUDENTS
WATER BAPTISMS	9 STUDENTS (3 ADULTS) (IN THE LAKE)
HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISMS	15 STUDENTS
HEALINGS	36 STUDENTS (PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, & RELATIONAL
CALLINGS	13 STUDENTS (TO MINISTRY/PURPOSE IN LIFE)
MISSIONS GIVING	APPROXIMATELY $2,500 (ONE NIGHT CHALLENGE)

I COUNT IT AN HONOR TO COMMUNICATE THIS INFO TO EACH OF YOU IN THE COMMUNITY OF FAITH. GOD IS STILL DOING GREAT THINGS! I PRAY THAT THE DECISIONS MADE (BOTH VERBALLY AND FINANCIAL FOR MISSIONS) WILL LAST. MANY STUDENTS WERE CHALLENGED TO LIVE THE TRUTH! I ASK THAT YOU SAY A QUICK PRAYER FOR ALL THOSE THAT ATTENDED THE CAMP.

LASTLY, AS I LOOK TO THE OHIO DISTRIC CAMP (CAMP X), I ONLY PRAY THAT GREATER THINGS WILL TAKE PLACE. THEN THE SAME WHEN I TRAVEL TO THE ILLINOIS DISTRICT CAMP (DISCIPLESHIP CAMP), AND LASTLY AT THE MICHIGAN FOURSQUARE YOUTH CAMP. HOW WONDERFUL IT IS TO BE USED OF GOD IN THIS FASHION!
