Praise the Lord we (Pastor Craig, Jeanette, Caleb, and Esther Rose) arrived home safe and sound from a grand trip to the Mediterranean region. God blessed us and gave us a relaxing but exciting trip. We made it a pretty long adventure. In fact the 7 weeks we were gone is the longest Sarah and I have been gone since we've been married.
As we were gone God used others to minister in a fantastic way for the Lord. The two young men from IBC were, from what I hear, oustanding and great encouragers in the Lord. My Brother-in-Law Ken came and encouraged the believers and got our new projector operational and ready to use and of course our own Lee Cooper, Steve Braun and Dad carried on the work of the ministry in a excellent and Biblical way.
Sunday was my first Sunday preaching since I went away. I preached in chapel but never was able to preach on Sunday morning.
I was excited to start a series on 1st Corinthians. Sunday I introduced our people to the Corinthians. We were challenged about how the Corinthians walk was filled with challenges from the World. They are not unlike the church today. Paul exhorted the Corinthians to "perfectly framed together". May we avoid the pitfalls that the Corinthians struggled with and put aside the world and live a dynamic separated life for Christ.
Please Pray for our kids at Camp Ironwood. There are some that need to accept Christ as Savior. Let's pray every day that God would convict and encourage. Also, don't forget to send the kids an email. Go to the ironwood.org for instructions on how to send a note to one of our campers. The campers are: Andy Dell, Caleb Evins, Kolby Bly, Jeanette Evins, Samantha Craig, Crystal Waters, and Britny Waters.
