Summer 2014

How has this summer gone by so quickly without our updating you?!  Very easily, and I apologize for this discrepancy!  We hit the ground running as soon as we arrived home on May 2 with home improvement projects and summer music and camp preparation, and now the last week of camp is staring us squarely in the face!  It has been a wonderfully blessed and busy summer, filled with renewing friendships, making new ones and seeing the Lord work mightily in the services.  We are thrilled to report that many campers have made decisions for salvation and/or surrender.  During our Saturday morning staff meetings, we rejoice together over what the Lord has done in the past week as we hear reports from the youth, junior and deaf week programs.  Please pray with us and with the churches from which these young people come that the Holy Spirit will continue His renewing work in them, constantly reminding them of the crucial commitments that they have made to pursue Christ and His righteousness.  In just the last couple of days, we have heard exciting testimonies of how teenagers have gone home to less fortunate situations, and the Lord has worked on their behalf to restore fellowship between them and a parent.  These are watershed moments in the lives of these young people, and we pray that they will continue on this blessed path that God has for them.

We are now in our last youth/junior/deaf week of the Bill Rice Ranch Summer 2014 camps and will end the camp season next week with our final Family Week.  As always, Tim and I look forward to what the Lord has for us and our family in these preaching services and are eager to hear the beautiful music provided by Ray and Ann Gibbs.  Come see us for one of our two family weeks next year!  I assure you, like it has for many families, it will most likely become a family tradition for you!

We will have a brief vacation week in August, and our first meeting of the "fall" will be August 24-29 with our friend, Pastor Jon Jones of First Baptist Church, Gunnison, CO.  We will begin more frequent updates as we begin our itinerant travels for the year.  You can view our itinerary at www.evangelisttimthompson.com, and we hope you will pray with us for these upcoming meetings.

God bless you, and have a wonderful rest of your summer!

Yours for souls,

Brittany for the clan
