Clair and I recently returned from the Women's
Retreat and it was a fun time with much intimacy
between Holy Spirit and these women. They came
excited, ready to hear from Him and willing to be
healed in whatever way He so desired. Marilyn
Adams was the main speaker and she shared so
much of her own walk with the Lord and was so
open and honest about her walk. There were some
workshops that the ladies had choices to attend and
the feedback was very positive. The music was so
worshipful and powerful. We even had some ladies
who had not been in several years and they were a
joy to visit. Back in March, the Couple's Retreat
was fun and also special. Eddie and Beth Taylor
did a great job of ministering to hurts and
relationships. I was just amazed at how they
seemed to relate in so many ways through their
own experiences. Being married is fun and
fulfilling, but it is also work. Sharpening the tools
we have to help make marriage a success does not
come without effort.
The year is moving on quickly and preparations
and plans are being made for summer camps. B.J.
and David Hughes met with the lead counselors at
our farmhouse in Georgia in April to pray and seek
the Lord for this summer and all who would be on
the grounds. My observation is that we are very
blessed to have these young men and women on
staff as our counselors. It's evident that they have
been trained well and have a deep walk with the
Lord. I'm looking for much fruit in the lives of our
campers this year.
We have several things going on at Living Waters.
We're making plans for a new sign on the property,
upgrading some of the bathrooms over the kitchen,
doing some work on the outside of the kitchen and
lodge, and hopefully making some plans for the
Chalet. Earl and Jerry are beginning their garden
and doing a lot of planning. Bobby and Mary
Murphy were here for the Women's Retreat and
they were so excited to be with everyone. Bobby is
still coming before each retreat and helping to get
the grounds and buildings in shape.
My word to each of you is--know that the Lord
loves you, He delights in showing Himself in the
midst of your life struggles, He is equipping each
of us to withstand the onslaught of the enemy
without folding and giving up. He is equipping
each of us to do battle spiritually, as well as
physically, when we respond in kindness and
gentleness. Remember what Galatians says about
the fruit of the spirit: Galatians 5:22-26. The more
intimate we become with Him, the more evident is
the fruit of His Spirit in our lives. Regardless of
what CNN says, God is still on the throne and He
is not dismayed or surprised at what is transpiring
in the world.
Blessings to each of you, Miley

"Love each with genuine affection, and take delight in
honoring each other." Rom. 12:10 NLT
Hello and blessings to all of you. We have had two amazing Retreats already for this year! I look back at the
Couple’s Retreat and the Women’s Retreat and am amazed at how each Retreat was unique for each person. I
have the honor and joy of seeing and hearing from so many people of how the Lord touched them at the Retreats.
We put a lot of time and prayer into hearing what He wants for each Retreat we have. Thank you, Lord, for
moving and stirring hearts afresh and drawing us to Yourself.
We are getting excited about our upcoming summer camps. We are just about a month away from our first Camp.
As the excitement builds, we would like to ask each of you to be praying for this summer. Our prayers are
centered on the physical needs for this summer, as well as spiritual. As many of you may know, it requires around
$60,000.00 dollars for us to have our summer camps. As this seems like a daunting amount, God is always faithful
to give us exactly what we need. We are praying for the financial piece and the man power that is needed to
function during the summer. We realize that what is seen is only part of the whole picture. This is why we have
also begun praying that God will begin to work on the hearts of those that will be coming even now and prepare
each of us to receive all that He would have for us. The leadership has been praying about what God has in store
for these camps. We want to be as Jesus was, and be about the Father’s business in whatever way He would have
for the camps. I deeply love our summer camps, as they have played a vital role in my life and the lives of many
others. I have seen seeds that were planted in Junior Camp come to show fruit with campers, counselors, and
even parents in the 12 years I was Camp Director. These Camps are impacting the lives of our children and youth
dramatically. Our prayer is that the Lord would awaken dreams and ignite our children and youth to touch the
world! We believe that as we experience God’s presence we are changed. God’s word says that He draws us to
Himself with loving kindness. It is our desire to see the lives of each of the campers changed through the
encounters they have with the Lord on these grounds and out of that overflow there would be tremendous fruit
in the coming years. This generation is one that will have a great impact on the days to come. We believe that
John 4:23 is for today’s youth when it says, “But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshippers”. As the Lord lays it on
your hearts, please pray and believe with us that His provisions would be poured out for this summer. Please
know that we deeply love and appreciate you.
Thanks and blessings, BJ and Pam
