Wentworth Bible Club (Monday, 7/16-Friday, 7/20)

Hello, thanks for praying for the Holiday Bible Club. We had up twenty kids that came to this Holiday Bible Club. Overall, the children enjoyed learning more about God, the Bible, and the Christian life and one child received Christ as her personal Savior. I thank God for all the staff members from church who helped out with the Bible Club. Pastor Steve and Traver helped out setting up the enthusiastic atmosphere of the Holiday Bible Club. We had one lady who started come to church recently who made plenty of good food. We were all impressed by the food. One of the food she made was bread with butter and Vegemite (made in Australia) and I enjoyed vegemite because I ate her sandwiches. The kids enjoyed also the games, the crafts, the camp theme cheer, and the songs.

They also enjoyed Cody the Bear as well.

Although it was hard for not having the Pensacola team to help out with the Bible Club, the Lord still blessed the Bible Club for what we had. Thanks again for your prayers. I am heading home soon. Although I do enjoy staying in Australia, I am ready to go back home in the states.

Pray for Traver, Amy, and I as we are about to head back to America on Monday for travel safety and God will opportunities to witness to others. Thanks again.

Back to Mildura in Preparation for Holiday Bible Club (Saturday, 7/7-Sunday 7/15)

I got to hang out with Traver and Amy the day after we came back from camp for some down time for a few days. On Monday, we slept over the other church family's home. They gave us a tour around the farm. This was my second tour in the farm. But this time I got to see sheep, hundreds of them.

This is also a sheep...what's left of it anyways.

From that day forward, it was work time. We all worked hard to prepare for the Holiday Bible Club which was less than a week a away. We had the room available on the Saturday before the Holiday Bible Club to set up all the props. We are doing a camp theme this year.

For those of you who do not know about Holiday Bible Club, it is a time where kids get to sing songs, play games, make crafts, eat snacks, listen to the Bible lesson, and earn points to get prizes. And we do all these things from Monday to Friday. We want to kids to come out the Bible club to hear God's word, have some fun, and to hear more about Murray River Baptist Church and their weekly Bible club that they do throughout the year.

I appreciate your prayers for the Holiday Bible Club...

• That we will be prepared each day to run the program.
• That kids will come, have fun, and learn more about the Bible.
• That kids will get saved and commit their lives unto the Lord.

Finally on Sunday, I got to preach  on the message about comfort. If you want to listen my sermon. Here is the link. I hope this message would be an encouragement. It was certainly a encouragement to the congregation.

I am excited about this last week. I do look forward to come back home in America. Thank you so much for your care, your support, and your prayers.

Longwood Camp (Monday, 7/2-Friday, 7/6)

We camped in Longwood Camp on the Adelaide hills at Mylor, South Australia.

The camp has been amazing. There were about 60-70 people at camp. We got to play some games, see some sheep, kangaroos, and wallabies. We also played some games such as Capture the Flag, ‘Flashlight’, Uno, or Table Tennis. Also, the Lord worked in our lives through the camp. That week, Evangelist Fraser Young preached through the book of Judges. Three teenagers received Christ as their personal Savior (two of them were in my cabin). Also, many others made a renewed commitment to the Lord this week at camp.

I personally enjoyed the preaching and the fellowship that I had with these Christians. I recognized many of the campers from Winter Camp last year I was excited to spend time with them again just as they were excited to see me again.

Traver and Amy Freeman were also at camp. Both of them came to Australia with the Pensacola Team in 2009 and 2010. They are planning to go to be missionaries in Australia. They are planning to get on the field by 2015.

I thank God for Pastor Brenton Honeychurch and everyone else who camp to the camp. I thank God for the parents who allow their children to come to camp. I thank God for the cooks who made great camp food. I thank God for everyone else helped out such as the cabin camps who led the devotions in the cabin, and for Brett who led the services and the games. I also thanked everyone who has prayed for us for the camp. God has blessed the Great Spirit we had at camp. The bonfire on Thursday was the highlight at the camp. We got to sing, talk, pray, and share testimonies with one another.

The camp is over. I am going back to Mildura from Adelaide. Farewell Southwest Baptist Church! Part 2 of my Internship is complete. The Last part my trip is working with Holiday Bible Club with Pastor Steve Maldoff.

Prayer Requests:

1. Preparation of Holiday Bible Club
2. God would bring children that will draw closer to Him through the Bible Club.
3. My Teen Bible Study on Philippians this Wednesday 7/11.

Thank you Pastor and Mrs. Honeychurch

Thanks for your prayers. (Coming Soon….The lessons that I have learned thus far in Australia)

Counting Down the Days before Camp (Thursday, 6/28-Sunday, 7/1

I am enjoying my last few days at Australia. I got to go to the Adult Bible Study on Thursday Morning. On Friday, I spend some time with one of the church families. We played several games of table tennis and then we went one of the malls nearby to get some refreshments and some sightseeing. After that, we had dinner together with the church family. I enjoyed the fellowship that I had with this family. That evening, we went to Youth Group where we got to make milkshakes. We were divided into 5 teams and to see who can make the best milkshake. It was pretty and milkshakes actually tasted pretty decent.

That night, I gave a devotion to all the people on being doers of the word and not hearers only (James 1:22-27). The key to be a doer of the word is looking continually on Jesus Christ that we may do what the word of God says. The Lord blessed with the devotion and for the rest of the night, I played basketball with the group in the gym.

On Saturday, we had Men's breakfast together where Evangelist Fraser Young gave a devotion to us. There were about twenty-five men in the breakfast and the breakfast was good. The men did a great job cooking the bacon and the egg sunny side up. After breakfast, Luke ,one of the men in the church who I have met a camp last year, took me to the Christian bookstore called the Koorong. Luke works in this bookstore. This store have a wide variety of Christian books and DVDs. I even got a few books myself.

On Sunday, Evangelist Fraser Young preached two great messages (both Sunday morning and Sunday evening)that had touched my heart and other hearts also. Also in Sunday evening, we did a men's trio for the song special God of Heaven (I played the piano). This is one of the songs that the  choir sang at Pensacola Christian College for the Horton's Diamond Jubilee Concert. I thank God that the song turned out well and that the people were blessed by the song. I said farewell to Southwest Baptist Church. Now I am on my way to camp.

Pray for us that God will work with us with each individual at camp. Thank You.
