More Mechanics

I finally finished the church van five days before we left for S.M.I.T.E camp in Baton Rouge. I took it to a real mechanic to have my work checked out just in case. He gave me the thumbs up and we began loading it down for the long drive. We left a half day early so we didn’t have to rush. The extra time turned into more work on the van. By the time we had arrived at camp 6 hours late I had replaced all parts pertaining to the cooling system except the radiator, which I replaced the next morning of camp. After the extra work along the way, the van had no more problems and ran like new the entire trip home. Praise the Lord! We were also able to figure out the problem with our Suburban before camp and fix it as well. The part was cheap, but it was an all day job.

Smite Camp

There were 11 of us that left the 4-corners on May 23 to head for camp in Baton Rouge. On the interesting trip to camp, which included breaking down, God put us in the path of someone much worse off than we were. We had the privilege to witness to these people (a husband, wife and 2 year old daughter), give them food and put them in a motel. It is amazing to see how God has a purpose in everything. The week at camp was amazing. It is neat to see our children and the others learning how to work with children, do Bible clubs and tell people about Jesus. Our small group had the privilege to lead 4 people to the Lord during the week at camp. Praise the Lord!

Caroline

Caroline is one of our new ladies in Newcomb and has been coming for a couple of months. Her testimony of salvation is a blessing. At one time Caroline stayed as far away from God, church, and preachers as she could. She was traditional and wanted nothing to do with “religion.” The Lord began to get hold of her heart and one day a missionary came to her door. She accepted Christ and has been so excited to be in church. We are glad that she is a part of Newcomb Baptist Church. She has encouraged our adults to memorize scripture and get involved; more so than any other person in our church. She does this by getting involved herself. We were encouraging our people to memorize I John 4 a little at a time. After the second Sunday of memorizing, Caroline stood up and quoted 5 verses. This is the first time any of our adults have made this kind of effort. Our prayer is that this love and excitement for the Lord will spread.

Newcomb Baptist Camp

We are preparing for our 8^th year of Newcomb Baptist Camp. God has blessed this outreach and the camp continues to grow. God has also been providing the facilities we need to move forward with our vision for Newcomb Baptist Church. We are expecting our biggest and best year ever. The month of June is filled with lots of planning, shopping and setting up for camp. Please pray that those people who have committed to come to camp will follow through, and most important that souls will be saved. We still have a need this year for 100 folding chairs. If any of you have some extra folding chairs that you could spare, please give me a call. I am not sure how we will get them here but we will figure that out.

Thank you all so much for your faithful prayers and support.

Because of Jesus,

Jason Walters and Family

Dear Pastor, Church family and praying friends:

Our first annual youth meeting was conducted on May 28,29 and 30.
What a privilege, honor and joy it was for me to be used of the Lord
to minister to young men and women of God. The Theme was "But whom say ye that I am?" from Matthew 16:15. Dr Ramesh Kumar, Pastor Raju and I had the privilege to preach a series of 11 messages to a group of young men and women over a period of three days. After the end of the third day what a joy it was to see many of them rededicating their lives to Christ. Some even came to surrender their lives to serve the Lord in full time ministry. Please pray for these youngsters as they grow stronger in the Lord. May we be reminded of our responsibility. Those “in Christ" are missionaries, and those not "in Christ" are our mission field. Continue to pray for the ministry in India.
June 1st was the beginning of the school year 2008-2009. All the
children are slowly returning back to school after a 2 month summer
break. The new building facility is almost done but there is much to be
done to complete the construction project(photo). Continue to pray that the Lord will meet the needs of this project. We would also thank all the churches and friends who have contributed towards this ministry.

In Christ

Activity Report June 2007
(Received 7/14/07)

Greetings from Sainte-Marie, Québec, Canada.

The month of June has been very exciting for us. We took possession of our new church building; we praise the Lord for that new place in Sainte-Marie. It is a great testimony for the people in town to see that we are still alive to be ambassadors for the cause of Christ. Some people refuse the message of the gospel but praise the Lord for those who received the true gospel.

Many visitors came to the church meetings during June.We also had a visit from our new missions director, Bro. Larry Barker. He preached a very good message for us and we thank God for many unsaved people who listened very carefully to his predication about John:1:12.

Please pray for Sherley's health.

Please pray for salvation of: Stéphane Paradis, Karel, Denis Sylvain, Mario Vallée, André Ferland, Mike Burns.

Please pray for music ministry, soul winning visitation, Sunday School teaching, preaching ministry. The Lord's protection for groups who will come to help us here in the field in Sainte-Marie.

We give all glory to the Lord for the privilege to be in full-time ministry. I thank God for the great opportunity to share the gospel with French-speaking people.

Back to Top

Looking back to what the Lord has done is pretty amazing. Not that many were saved but that the work did not slow down during the months of winter. Yes, winter brought bitter cold and snow drifts, ice patches and sometimes falls, but these incidents happen often on the field during the winter months especially when attempting to go up and down the stairs on the outside of the houses. Sometimes a thick sweater and a heavy coat will not do the job when the temperature is – 40, with the wind factor. But the good news is that we have survived and had two baptised and one more is scheduled to be baptised as soon as our building renovations are finished. This will take place in June; please pray for us that all the money will be here for the project and that we will be able to start our revival on June the 6th of this year. Some have asked if we have any needs, so if you want to help us in any specific area of the building project here are a few areas you could help with: fire proof dry wall sheets, carpet, tile, wood materials, would all be a help. For the work on the field, it is going well because the Lord is at work; we had many opportunities to witness and to bring the gospel to people who never heard such a thing as salvation by grace. I encountered a man who, as soon as I approached his door he turned me down when I told him I was a Baptist, but down the road I had the opportunity to talk with a woman who believed in the new age movement. After we talked for about five minutes she decided she had heard enough and closed the door. I am glad that we are building the Lord’s church and that He is in charge of this work. We are busy translating Sunday school material for the teens and teaching new converts about doctrine and principals of living by the Book. We thank the Lord for every one of you who pray and give toward our ministry and without you it would be practically impossible to get where we are. There are many souls to reach, and for this we need all the help we can get. Pray for us, the work of the ministry, the renovations and the salvation of souls here in Quebec Canada.

Pray for salvation: Andre Ferland, Denis Sylvain, Rosaire Labbé, Stephan Paradis, Marie-Piere and Sophie Paradis.

Pray for spiritual growth: Patrice Labbe, Denise Arsenault, Claudette Arsenault, the Gauthier family, Yanick Caron.

We thank you for your financial and prayer support. We pray that many souls will come to know the Lord because of it.
