Hello Deer Flat Family,
I wanted to scratch out a note before the end of the week
and just tell you how much I appreciate your participation in the VOTE last
weekend. I was reminded again of what a
tremendous group of people you are. It was an amazingly strong vote! There was
a letter sent out this week from the Church Board with the results of the vote
and some next steps. If you did not get
that letter, just click here.
I think you’ll really value their wisdom.
Jer and I, along with 22 others are headed to Washington DC
for the Christians United For Israel Summit.
There will be thousands gathering from across the US for this
event. We will receive the latest
information on what is happening in Israel and the Middle East, and the current
climate between the US and Israel.
As usual, we, along with the host of others, will make our
trek up to Capitol Hill and visit the office of every elected official. We will present to them the most important
issues regarding Israel and the persecution of Christians. I believe this will be a significant
year. As you know, this election will
have a definite impact on Israel. I ask
you to pray for us as we appeal for pro-Israel legislation.
Our High School Camp has been taking place this week. We have a record attendance of students this
year. The investment opportunities in
the lives of children and students during these camps is nothing short of
amazing. We get to download the biblical
truths in them, provide fellowship and friendship, great activities and a
spiritual challenge - doing all that we can to anchor them in the faith. Each of you help make that possible by your
giving and your volunteering. We have
teams of people who serve at each camp and we have groups of people to make up
the Work Days during Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend. We couldn’t do it without you! You guys are making a difference and our
prayer is that a Deer Flat Camp at Camp Cascade will create countless changed
lives and tremendous memories.
Next week is the Children’s camp. If you have any interest in volunteering,
please let the office know. We may have
a slot or two left to fill. Again, this
is a great thing to keep in your prayers.
Thank you for your faithfulness during these summer
months. God uses you to be such a
blessing to Deer Flat!
Loving You and Him,
Pastor D
