This week we have another team of volunteers in town from Word and Deed Ministries in Ontario, Canada. According to their own count, they have already sent down over 200 volunteers in something like 12 teams! And let me assure you, every one of these teams that have come down have been characterized by the same traits: they work hard; they love to sing the rich, old hymns of the faith; and they relish digging into the Word! Let me assure you, I look forward to visiting with them each time they come.
Speaking of digging into the Word, we have recently added a section on the home page of our website that subdivides Scripture into daily readings so that you can read through the Bible each year (actually I think it takes you through the OT once and the NT twice each year). Let me encourage you to make use of the reading plan and start today.

Before closing, let me ask you to continue praying for us here. Pray for the church, the leadership, the teaching and preaching of the Word, the Camp Hope ministry, and the impact of the gospel here on the Coast. Even if you are not able to come (or to return) as a volunteer to help out, you can pray. And, as E.M. Bounds has reminded us, prayer is not preparation for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.
