Flexabilidad = Flexibility
When ministry is growing the enemy gets moving said a veteran missionary. Weve been experiencing this truth on many different levels in the last few months. In January our American neighbor started making problems for us and we were unable to live in peace in the housing complex we shared with him. After not being able to appease him nor find any other housing nearby we decided to move out to camp. We have been living in one of the cabins now for just over a month. Adequate housing for rent in the area is very difficult to come by. We think we have found a new the chapel We have been making good progress on house to rent and will hopefully be moving yet again in a ! and are hoping to have it ready by May week or two. We have each had a turn dealing with discouragement and frustration. We have seen God work and his timing has been impeccable as people send notes or reach out and encourage us. Ive said more than once lately that when my ministry cup feels totally empty God seems to be filling it up just in time. One recent blessing was having a work team from Appalachian Bible College come down. Among the team were some camping professionals that helped not just with work projects but with the strategy of the camp and helped tweak some of the functions. Please keep us in your prayers. We have seen The only ones who have enjo yed the fact th raining every da the ministry of the church, the camp, and especially at it has been y are the boys. the youth group make great strides, which can only mean one thing; the enemy is going to keep working hard as well.

Adventure Day 2014

Having seen the need to offer new activities that are a little more extreme we decided to try something new. In January we hosted an adventure Day at the camp. We had 4 stations with different adventure elements. The requirement to come was that the church youth had to bring a visitor. Expecting 100-120 we had to shift it into high gear when 160 showed up! Half way through we stopped and had an evangelistic challenge at each station. I got to teach one group about the impossibility of living without sin and the consequences it brings. I had two youth accept Christ in my station and heard of 9 more that made professions in the other stations.

Family life
As Nate mentioned above, our family is in yet another funky transition with housing. At first I was very angry and asked God why He keeps us in these times of limbo. Of course I knew the answer: He wants me dependent on Him while He molds me into Christs image. We counted and realized from the time we started raising support full-time weve not been able to stay in a house for more than 10 months. On the fun side, the boys LOVE living out at camp. They are able to walk out the front door and go play! They ate up al the attention they could get while the ABC group was here. The group was such an encouragement to our whole family! !

Please Pray
