Jambo!

 

Summer is here. In my area, school is almost out for the summer. I know that my nephews are excited about that.

I just came home from camp. It was held at Odosagih Bible Conference Center in Machias, NY. The speaker was Dr. Randy Sanders. His wife Sue held a workshop for interpreters. Randy is very animated (very animated) in his preaching. It was a wonderful weekend.

July and August bring about two ministry opportunities.

In July is the International Fellowship of Christian Magicians convention. The theme is "Just Imagine".  I will be lecturing this year. There is a great need to bring the Gospel to the deaf community. So planning ahead, I will be encouraging those in the Creative Arts ministry to remember there is a hidden culture that needs to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. The Deaf are very much forgotten when it comes to the Gospel.

In August is International Clown Week.  I am making contacts to have a week-long vacation Bible school in my apartment complex.  I am hoping to contact Child Evangelism Fellowship and a few Christian clowns that I know to help with this week-long event. I am also contacting local government officials to make a Clown week proclamation.

I am looking for help with these two projects. These two projects are the first two "stepping stones" for the ministry projects for the rest of the year and the London - Nairobi ministry trip.

I am looking for 500 people to join me in prayer for the summer projects. I am looking for 600 people to sponsor these two projects at $5. I am also looking for 35 people to sponsor these two projects at $35. If you would like to give, you can make your check out to Deaf Evangelism and Fellowship (DEAF), in the memo write: 495.0. You can mail the check to:

There is a deadline of June 25th, 2007 to help with the finances for these two projects.

The two parades in June did not happen. I sent out requests, but did not hear from them in time to make plans.  So for the parade of Champions 2008, I will apply at the end of August. As for the other I will see what events are happening at the time.

I am patiently waiting the arrival of a new family member. He/she is due any moment now. I will let you know when that happens.

Please keep praying for me, for the outreach ministry and for children.
