When faced with hardship, the world would tell us to search deep within yourself for the solution.  God tells us in Scripture to look to Him when we are facing difficulties through Prayer.  Prayer is our opportunity to communicate with God the things we are thankful for, the things that burden us and the people around us in need.

For the month of June:
  Please continue to pray for Julie and the baby !

  Continue to pray for Simon as he continues to grow and develop.

  Pray for the youth campers who will be in camp over the course of the next five weeks and for the things they will learn while at camp.

  Pray for the 7 weeks of family camps which Matt will be involved with from July 22 till Labor Day weekend.

  Pray for the Golf Classic Fundraiser Event taking June 30th in Stevens Point, WI. 

  Pray for Wisdom for Julie and I as we make decisions on purchasing a home in the area.

  Thank you so much for your prayers and we look forward to posting results to these prayers request’s as Stones of Blessing next month.

Please pray as Julie and I search for a home in the area to purchase.  We are currently looking a few places in the Rib Lake Wisconsin area.

Continue to pray for Julie as she is now in her second trimester of the second pregnancy.  The latest ultrasound revealed it is a boy!

Please Pray for Matt and the rest of the Program Team as they gear up for the 2007 Family Camp.  This years theme: Dead and Alive !

Continue to pray for the development of Simon who is now almost 11 months old and growing like a weed.  He is crawling everywhere he can go and has begun pulling himself up on furniture and toys. 

Please pray for our youth camps which will be going on until July 21st.  Pray for safety for both staff and campers and for the spiritual impact that will take place through our staff and speakers. 

All Missionary Staff at Camp Forest Springs are required to raise their needed monthly income.  This helps keep the overhead cost’s of camp down, thus making it affordable for more and more families to be ministered to.

Julie and I can both testify to the fact that living on support has it’s difficulties but the rewards far outweigh those difficulties.  Each and every month over the last two years, all of our needs have been met. Our bills are paid, their is a roof over our heads and food to eat.  God is faithful and a special thank you to each and every one of you who have given to our ministry with Camp Forest Springs.

Camp Forest Springs offers all of our supporters, Electronic Fund Transfer’s, which allows you to set it up with your bank to have a monthly predetermined amount withdrawn from your account.  It’s easy and you don’t have to look for an envelope and a stamp each month to send a check, it is already taken care of.

Plus, CFS is able to offer a Matching Gifts Program for support which comes in.  The Matching Gifts Program is a way for you to control where funding is sent for nonprofit organizations from the company you work for.  The process is really easy.  All you have to do is talk to your Human Resources or Personell office and see if the company has a matching gifts program.  Then simply fill out the form they give you, mail it with your gift of support.  We will fill it out and mail it back to your company and they will match the gift.  Sometimes companies will match on a 2 to 1 basis or even a 3 to 1 basis; however, most companies today offer a 1 to 1 base for matching gifts.  That still means a $100.00 gift turns into a $200.00 gift. 

Julie has been working on reupholstering a chair for what seems like months (hasn’t been too long) but she was able to spend the entire day today working towards finishing the chair.  It looks great and I know will serve our family for years to come as it has served others in her family for years past.  Maybe when you come to visit you will have the opportunity to sit in the “too comfortable to read ‘cause you’ll fall asleep chair’.

For those of you who were already fathers before yesterday, you may not relate.  However, to those who have had a child since fathers day last year you will understand the joy of celebrating your first.  It has been a year of first’s.  First baby, first reasonable reason for your wife to wake you up in the middle of the night (besides to tell you she heard something), first words (dada), first crawl, and yesterday, first fathers day.  Doesn’t get any better than spending the afternoon with your son, grilling pork chops on the grill,  playing crawl around the post in the dining room, entertaining each other with a Cool Whip container and mom’s measuring cups (no they didn’t get washed before they were put away - but that’s okay right) and watching as he falls asleep in the bend of your elbow.  Simon and I had a great day together as mom headed to camp to assist the nurses with youth camps first week of registration. I am sure we will have many more first’s together and I can’t wait to see what they all provide but in the mean time, it’s just great to have experienced my first fathers day.
