June 8th to July 8th I've been on Oahu visiting my family. Haven't been home for a year and a half. I've been able to take a break and catch up with family and friends. I've spent more time at the beach this summer since I can remember.
Camp Malama Na O'pio was the camp that I grew up going to. That camp was where God drew me closer to Himself. Seeing the campgrounds brings back a ton of memories. This summer they were only able to have 3 weeks of camp and I was able to visit them and help out a little bit. During the junior camp there were many campers that recieved Christ as their Savior.
One really neat opportunity I've had while home is with one of my friends. During one of my weeks here we would walk to the beach around 7:30 and do our devotions there. It was a unique way to spend some time together and to keep each other accountable. I love being able to just watch God's creation. The ocean will never cease to amaze me. Taking in the scenery always makes me think about how BIG God is.
Next I'll be headed to Wisconsin to spend a week or so with friends and then it will be back to Life Action's Camp. Please pray that I'll be safe while I'm traveling and that I'll have opportunities to talk with people and share with them about what I do and more importantly about Jesus.
I still have financial needs for this next year. I will need around $6,000 for my ministry expense this year. It is a lot more this year because I will be needing to get insurance through Life Action Ministries. So far a little more than $1,000 has come in. Thank you so much to those of you that have supported me. I'm always amazed at how God uses others to provide for me. I know I'm just a little nobody that God choses to use. I'm not perfect but God is forgiving and I want to do what's right.
I've sent out an update letter for my 2008-2009 travel year if you would like me to send you a copy please e-mail me your address or post it in the comments.
I do appreciate your prayers and thank you for checking out my blogspot.
