It has been a busy few months for us. In January we held a Back-to- Camp Bash. We invited teens from Nassau to a fun-filled day of games and preaching. The goal of this event was to get teens excited about our upcoming Camp Elienai week in July. We then traveled to preach a winter youth camp for Temple Baptist Church in Fredericksburg, VA. It was a true blessing to see some of the teens make decisions to live for Christ. From there we went to Nevis (in the Caribbean) and attended a pastor’s conference called the West Indies Baptist Fellowship. I had the privilege of teaching 2 sessions for youth leaders. This was a fulfillment of one of my goals to assist youth pastors in the Caribbean. February through April was primarily a time to assist the ministry here in Nassau. As I stated in the last prayer letter, I am now the assistant/youth pastor of New Testament Baptist Church and vice principal of Teleos Christian School. My wife plays the piano in church, teaches a singles women Bible study, and assists me in counseling and youth work. She also teaches computers for the school. Please continue to pray that God gives us the strength and wisdom to accomplish the amount of work that we have to do. In May we traveled to Chattanooga, TN to preach a four-day youth conference. Although the crowd was not very big, our God was. My favorite memory was speaking to the young men about remaining pure until marriage. We praise God for His work there. On this same trip we had the wonderful privilege of visiting two of our supporting churches for the first time as a married couple. Joy Baptist Tabernacle in Chattanooga and Tampa Bay Baptist in Tampa Bay welcomed us with open arms and warm hearts. I pray that we get to visit each one of our supporting churches in the near future. Also this month was my first time assisting my pastor in a baptism of 3 teen boys. It was a very exciting time for me to see what God is doing in their lives. At present, everything is about Camp Elienai! Organizing forms, recruiting workers, and advertising to teens is all I find myself doing these past few weeks. We are looking forward to another great summer of life-changing decisions.

This verse became my ministry verse years ago and it still reigns true today. I am truly thankful that God placed me in the ministry.

It has been a busy few months for us. In January we held a Back-to-Camp Bash. We invited teens from Nassau to a fun-filled day of games and preaching. The goal of this event was to get teens

excited about our upcoming Camp Elienai week in July. We then traveled to preach a winter youth camp for Temple Baptist Church in Fredericksburg, VA. It was a true blessing to see some of the teens make decisions to live for Christ. From there we went to Nevis (in the Caribbean) and attended a pastor’s conference called the West Indies Baptist Fellowship. I had the privilege of teaching 2 sessions for youth leaders. This was a fulfillment of one of my goals to assist youth pastors in the Caribbean.

February through April was primarily a time to assist the ministry here in Nassau. As I stated in the last prayer letter, I am now the assistant/youth pastor of New Testament Baptist Church and vice principal

of Teleos Christian School. My wife plays the piano in church, teaches a singles women Bible study, and assists me in counseling and youth work. She also teaches computers for the school. Please continue to pray that God gives us the strength and wisdom to accomplish the amount of work that we have to do.
