Middle of week five in Upstate NY

It has been a very busy summer here in the Adirondacks in upstate NY. The ministry at Word of Life is going well. It has finally warmed up a bit and feels more like summer. It was cold and rainy for the first few weeks.

I was in Michigan over the weekend for two events there. It was a privilege to preach at Bear Lake Christian Church in Kalkaska Sunday morning and then do a concert for the folks at Rollins Christian Fellowship in Manton. And a bonus for me was getting to spend time with my friends Dave and Diane Munson who live in Rockford. They picked me up at the Grand Rapids Airport on Saturday and loaned me a car for the weekend. I got to spend some time with them Saturday and then again on Sunday evening.

This coming weekend I am back to Montreal for 3 more events there. It has been a privilege to minister in so many churches in Montreal this summer. I have also enjoyed the fireworks on Saturday night. Montreal host an international fireworks competition every weekend all summer long. A different country sponsors each weekend. One night we watched from the pier and then one weekend my friends and I watched from one of the bridges crossing the St. Lawrence Seaway. It was a blast.

Hope you are having a great summer!

First Two Weeks Finished in Upstate NY

Wow, the first two weeks of ministry here in upstate NY are already finished. It has been a blurr. I am excited about the opportunity to be involved with Word of Life in Schroon Lake for the 8 weeks of their summer ministry program. It has kept me very busy, especially with keeping up the normal weekend ministry schedule as well. I am in Broadabin, NY tonight for a concert and then will head up to Montreal early in the morning tomorrow (Sunday) for two ministry events there. Then I'll drive back to Word of Life late Sunday evening to be ready to go Monday morning here.

The best part of the Ministry here at Word of Life is the great people you get to meet and hang out with. I am ministering at the Family Campground. So I am looking forward to many, many evenings hanging out with folks at the campfire.

I also enjoy getting to hear the the various conference speakers each week. Wendell Calder and Hayes Wicker were the speakers this past week and it was awesome.

I'll try to post some pictures as the summer progresses. Have a great day!
