This morning we had our first orientation and planning meeting where my partner Katherine and I, along with Lara who came through IMB, got details on our activities this summer. The rest of the week will be spent preparing the CBBA campgrounds for the three camps held in July (boys, girls, and youth). Then starting Monday, Katherine and I will be helping with a Backyard Bible Club with Hermiston Baptist Church in Oregon. We are very excited to see what God will accomplish this summer!
Everyone in the CBBA (Colombia Basin Baptist Association) Office is very warm and welcoming and have made feel at home. Several of the people we work with are originally from Texas so we have a lot in common, including our accents. I have been so blessed in the way they have already shown us love and service and look forward to opportunities to serve them as well.
Please begin praying for the three camps in July which we will be assisting with, as well as for Hermiston's Backyard Bible Club next week. Pray that us summer missionaries will find opportunities to show love and service to the people in this office who have already done so much for us. And pray that we will be sensitive to God's presence and seek Him wholeheartedly, not getting caught up in schedules or curriculum. Thank you all so much for your support and prayers!
