We enjoyed a busy July as our family went to several revivals, helped/attended VBS, fellowshipped with friends, sang at a few churches, and settled into our new home.
Revival – July 6-11, 2014
The first week of July was filled with the revival at Pleasant Ridge Missionary Baptist Church, morning and evening. Our family was encouraged and refreshed as we listened to God’s Word preached.

Bro. Roger preached the revival. |
At the close of the revival, there was a church-wide fish fry. We enjoyed yummy food and wonderful fellowship!

We also joined Rock Hill Missionary Baptist Church for their revival on July 23 and 25. Friday night, we enjoyed an ice cream social . . . and music, of course.

Camp Christa – July 13-17, 2014
Christopher, Daniel, and Amanda were able to trek up to Cortez, Colorado, to help with Camp Christa, a camp for the Navajo and Ute Indians. The Lord blessed them with a fantastic camp with several professions of faith. A full update with pictures will come later.
Vacation Bible School – July 23-25, 2014
We were excited to join Pleasant Ridge with their VBS this year. Rachel, Joanna, Naomi, and Ashlyn enjoyed attending the classes while Karen, Amanda, Elizabeth, and Samuel helped. They learned about Gideon, Ruth, Nehemiah, Peter, and Esther and how they were ready, obedient, faithful, bold, and courageous.

For lunch, we were graciously treated to the Kountry Kitchen.
After enjoying a meal with good ol’ home-cookin’, the Lord gave us the opportunity for an impromptu singing at the restaurant! We are grateful for this extra blessing to share God’s truth in song!

Singing at the Kountry Kitchen |
For the evening service, we were at Hopewell Baptist Church, around Crystal Springs, MS. Again, the Lord blessed us with a wonderful service and we enjoyed meeting new people.

At Home in Mississippi
We have adapted to our new home in Mississippi, though David comments that we are “just camping out.” It has been a blessing to fellowship with our friends up here and see how the Lord is leading our family in this new stage of life.

Playing games with friends |
We were not able to grow a garden this year because of moving, but the Lord has provided produce through friends. We were blessed with over 500 ears of beautiful corn and okra, peas, tomatoes, and cucumbers.

Life in a trailer is different, but God’s grace is sufficient and He is helping us adapt to these cramped quarters.
