Friday

“Jesus said, ‘No procrastination.

No backward looks.

You can’t put God’s kingdom off till tomorrow.

Seize the day.’”

~Luke 9:62 MSG~

Jadon Pailet had a check-up yesterday.  Since his surgery in January he has gained 10 pounds and 4 inches.  He is such a different child now.  Thank God for all his progress!

People who can do mud out are encouraged to contact Bro. Stan.  Many homes were flooded in Washington Parish.  Mud out is one of the early steps in getting the homes ready for use again.  Call 985-839-3827 if you can volunteer in any way.

Susan Rimes will be re-evaluated this morning to determine what they need to do for her today.  Pray for the correct decision to be made.

Greg Tanner is still at Ochsner and has a number of issues that need to be addressed.  Jimmy Schwartz is at North Oaks and also has a number of issues.  Please pray for these two men.  Ask God to be with them and each member of their families today.

Camp Living Waters – You Have a Hand in All We Do

Greetings!

We just wanted to drop everyone a note to say “thank you” for your help, prayers and support of Camp Living Waters this summer. Our summer season is always a very busy time with lots of opportunities to share the Love of Jesus. If you support Camp Living Waters either directly, through you local church, through your association, in your service and with your prayers, You had a hand in 154 professions of faith reported to us at camps May-August. To God be the Glory! Great things He has done. We really had a great summer and God’s presence and watch-care prevailed.

Also, many of you have inquired about the  camp and the recent Hurricane Isaac. The camp did not suffer any major damage. Just a few trees, lots of limbs and debris, and more than enough water. We went 3 days without power as a total of approximately 21″ of rain fell over 2 days.  Our lower campus had almost 7 feet of water as the Tangipahoa River came out of its banks recording the highest levels in 30 years. But everything is almost back to normal with cleanup operations moving forward.
We are still operational and look forward to those of you scheduled this month to come on out.
Now that September is here, we are ready to start up again on our building and expansion projects. Lots of opportunities for you an your folks to come and lend a hand. Even if you are heading close by to help with storm recovery and we can help you as you help others, let us know.
Its all about us reaching out and lending hands of love to further the Kingdom of God.
Look for more to come soon.
