It's been over a month since we've shared with you....so here is an update of what's been happening in the ministry!
Travel Season Over
With the end of the school year came the end of our crazy travel schedule. Joel spoke 36 times in May, and we finished the year with 4 great evening outreach events in the mid/late part of the month. We still have a few camps and church services on the calendar for the summer, but this is our time to focus on building the ministry and preparing for next year. We will have some numbers tabulated soon to share with you the impact the Lord had through the ministry this past school year.
Church Services
We had the opportunity to spend time at 3 different churches in the last month to share the ministry. We were at Westville UMC in (naturally) Westville, LifePoint Community Church in Plymouth, and my home church, Calvary Evangelical in Van Wert. At each service we were able to share about the impact of the ministry and our vision for the future. We were also able to give individuals and families the chance to financially support this work. We were humbled by the incredible response at each church. It is very cool to see the Body of Christ at work all over the state. And being back at Calvary, seeing a lot of people I grew up with, was also very special. We are really looking forward to continuing to partner with these churches in the future. Truly genuine people at all 3 churches!
We plan on posting a few more times in the next few days, and we want to share with you an exciting ministry opportunity that is in the works. Plus we will be vlogging! (for those of you including my wife that have reading ADD.) How exciting. Hope you all are doing well....
