July/August 2016
Dear Praying Friends,
We thought we had reached our maximum last year with
over 50 campers, but this year the Lord showed us that we could handle even
more. This summer we had 61
campers!! It was a week filled with
labor, heat, difficulties and victories.
Satan tried to hinder this ministry; missionaries suffered serious car
problems coming to camp, some campers had to be taken home the first day of
camp for smoking, the heat was intense with very little in the way of breezes
to cool off the tents and all the sweating bodies in them. Yet God gave great victories in spite of all
the difficulties we encountered. 13
precious souls came to Christ, including two from our church in Lagos!!!
We returned from camp physically exhausted, yet
spiritually uplifted. We had one week to
prepare for our annual Vacation Bible School in Lagos. This time we had fewer children than last
year, but that allowed us to spend even more time with each child. The gospel was given clearly and plainly each
day and good seed was planted in the hearts of the children who attended. Half of the children who came are not saved
and come from lost homes. We have
reached entire families through our Vacation Bible Schools and are praying for God
to work again through this ministry to reach these precious lives with His
gospel.
Thank you for making it possible for us to labor here
on your behalf for the glory of our Lord!!
We count it our honor to be your representatives here in southern
Portugal.
Serving with you for Him,
Mark Hale
