Day 3 :: July 13, 2008









Acts 13:38"Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.

This morning, shortly after posting the below entry, I entered the worship service to hear Sterling preaching on forgiveness based in Matthew 18:21. Knowing that tomorrow is the first day of Kidz Camp, it is heavy on our hearts and minds to know that we have a great gospel to share with those present. The very same message that Sterling and Luis try to live out in their day to day lives here in Farmingdale. There is a God who loves you. Simply put.

Please be with us in prayer for Kidz Camp. There are 57 pre-registered children, which is as many as all attendees last year alone! God is at work in this place and we are so excited to be a part of it.

And for the record, we have begun our work projects. This afternoon we spent several hours clearing out some garden/bush areas in preperation for new landscaping. As you can see the in attached photos, we removed 5 very large boxwood bushes. While they were healthy, they were just too big for the space.
Tory Brown did a great job manning the chainsaw, even in spite of its frequent ability to loosen the chain. And the girls were just outright hardcore at removing the root clusters. Dom mentioned that he definately knows who to call when he needs yardwork done.
Part of our time was also spent preparing the old pastor's study for its new name, The Welcome Center. After clearing out some clutter, Luis, our newest friend and addition to the staff at CCLI, spackled the holes in the walls so that we may prime and paint tomorrow.
All of this is fun. and it is also work. Our students have done an incredible job at serving this weekend. We cannot wait to see what else God has in store for us, and CCLI this week!
Please pray for us.
