woohoo

Exciting times!! Our Camp's board has agreed to send my boss & i over to San Diego for the American Christian Camping conference!! I am blessed by the people who oversee our simple efforts to serve God & share the gospel - this is icing!!
My first task - is to see if we can fund my family to join me! Obviously this would be our mega family trip of a lifetime!! My fairs are paid, so it's the most affordable it could ever be!
A couple of years ago i went to Sri lanka to help clean up after the Tsunami - my daughter Kerri asked if she could come. I thought it was a silly idea - until i got there - then i regretted saying no. To have been able to share that time of serving with her, to have been able tto let her free to play with the kids & reach them in a way i couldn't - constantly i saw the opportunities while there, & thought of the time we could have shared... It is one of my biggest regrets.
Obviously this trip will be very different, but i don't want to do it without my family - so we'll pray, & see how we go.
The conference will probably be the end of our trip. Before then we'll look to visit a whole bunch of camps, check out how they do things, get ideas & contacts, etc - should be awesome!!
Should also have a few days between to do family days @ theme parks, etc
If we can, we'll look to go a week or so early & visit friends in Chicago & Nashville
Let's see what God has in store...

Bro!

Remember when you prayed for me that sunday night before i went to Teen Missions?

Well i certainly do! It was a huge moment in my life and you and the church Prayed for me and supported me into blessing the lord by doing mission work in Vanuatu.

If God can bless little old me to reach out to the world i'm sure that he can provide for you and your family to have a great experience together and in turn bless the lord with your work!

I'll be praying for you Bro!

you are a true light of God in My life!

Bless you!
