Its Summer Camp Season!

Remember to pray for the teens from our church who are on staff at Camp Harlow, Camp Fircroft, and Camp Tadmor this summer. Christian camping is a great avenue for children and young people to be impacted with the Word and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Carlie, Torie, Lizzie, and Dean are all ministering at camps this week.

SWAP Team Home

The SWAP team arrives home safely from their ministries in Malheur Butte and Ukiah. On Sunday they shared brief testimonies and slides of their ministry. Ukiah, especially, continues to need our prayers for followup on the young people who heard the gospel. Pray that the ministry of the gospel will continue to bear fruit in the months ahead.

Pray for the Mission Teams

The Peru Mission team is leaving Peru to fly back to USA tonight. Please pray for a safe trip and for lasting results from their time of ministry there.

Pray also for the ministry of SWAP in Ukiah and Malheur Butte. Pray that the Lord's victory will be evident in the lives of the students, the community, and the SWAP team members.

Herod's Temple Quarry Discovered

The Jerusalem Post reports that an ancient quarry has been discovered in Jerusalem which appears to the be the quarry from which King Herod removed stones for the building of his temple. This would be the temple spoken of in the Gospels, during the ministry of Jesus. You can read about it here: http://blog.bibleplaces.com/2009/07/quarry-of-herod-discovered-in-jerusalem.html
