Four weeks? Shoulders to the plow, gents!

Howdy all, me again!

It's been a good summer so far. Battles have been fought, The Word has been preached, and strength has been forged in hearts of many Christians. But... We're not done yet!

This is a little message to all the (*cough, cough*) many people reading this:
                  BE STRONG IN THE LORD! - Ephesians 6:10

You may have struggles, trials, temptations, fights, and even falls ahead. You may be on your knees even now. God isn't through with you. There are still opportunities to work for the Lord!
Now is the time to give it all you got, to be a "clutch" player. It's times like this, when Satan thinks he has you down, when you should show him Who lives in you. Fight hard!

For the Christian, there is no such thing as defeat. Only temporary delays to victory. 
Your Fellow-Soldier in Christ,
-Matt

Still Workin' Out the Summer Camp Kinks...

Ow...
Hello again all! (Pop.)
How are you all doing? (Crack.)
I hope this post finds you well. (POW!)

Whew! That last one was a doozie!
Sorry. I'm still a little sore from the younger kids week at camp. 
I had a wonderful time! (Still working on pictures...)
Thank you all for your prayers! I could tell when I was being prayed for.
We had 6 kids come forward at the end of the week!
One, his name was Mikey, said that he wanted to be a missionary when he grew up! He hung out with me all week long. He is a recovering cancer patient, with a scar to show. It humbled me to have him look up to me. God truly is an awesome God.
 
I look forward to what else God has in store for this summer and I can't wait for the upcoming semester at Crown! 

Your Brother in Christ,
-Matt
