After Sweet Couplebeing in the States for several months, Pastor and Mrs. Lewis are back! They have taken this precious time from their furlough to be a part of camp. Without them, camp would have been very hard to pull off (ok near impossible! :) ). And….they had a surprise!  Their daughters, Victoria and Alayna came with them!!! We are so happy to have them back for camp and our other summer activities! After camp they will return to the USA for Gideon and Alayna’s graduation. Please continue to pray for summer camp; we are still trying to raise funds to sponsor kids and buy supplies. Please consider investing in the lives of these filipino teens and send your funds to our support address marked Lewis Camp 2015! Thank you!

Packages & Praise!

BoxesAfter months of waiting, 4 Christmas packages finally arrived at our post office! In the Philippines, mail is often delayed so when Christmas came and the packages did not we weren’t too concerned. But when January rolled by…and then February…we started to get a little worried. Each week we drove to the Post Office…hoping and praying the boxes had made it.  Finally, in March we had them run the tracking numbers again.  Still no leads…but then the lady who helped us suggested we try talking to another supervisor. Our new contact ran our tracking number again…..this time she found something. All four of our packages had arrived and been put in storage! Thank the Lord for His protection! The packages had arrived safe and sound and nothing was stolen. The Lord’s timing is best and our family really enjoyed having “Christmas in March”!  Our thanks go out to Grandpa and Grandma Holter, Pastor Keith Troyer and Grace Baptist Church, and Pastor Huber and Walker Bible Baptist Church. We praise the Lord for these packages and the people who sent them!

Camp Prep!

Teens!January and February started our busiest season at North Cebu Baptist Church! With camp in April, we are already working on decorations, programs, and schedules. This will be the 5th year our church has hosted summer camp and we are excited to see what God will do! Because camp has helped so many teens, we do everything we can to make it affordable for everyone. A majority of our young people do not have their family’s support to raise money for camp. In fact, we work very hard just to persuade parents to let their teens come. Camp provides an invaluable week of encouragement and spiritual help for our teenagers! So while we keep the camper fee low, the actual cost for running camp is not! We ask you to pray and consider helping us in this needed ministry! As we prepare for camp this year, we are trying to raise a minimum of $5,000 just to make camp possible. We want to thank the people who have already showed their support through their prayers and finances! Your investment will impact the lives of teens for years to come! For those who still want to give, please send camp sponsorships to our support address marked Lewis Camp 2015.

The Gift of Love

This month North CebuHearts Day Baptist Church hosted a Valentine Banquet for the teens. We call it a banquet…but really it was more like a youth rally! :) The teens had a lot of fun playing crazy games, winning prizes, and watching skits. It was a great opportunity for our young people to invite their friends and tell them about Christ. Our theme was ‘The Gift of Love’ and the message was on the greatest love gift mankind has ever seen-the Lord Jesus Christ! We had 86 teens in attendance…86 teens that heard a clear presentation of the gospel! This banquet has given us an open door to these young people and their families….another wonderful opportunity to reach out and share Christ! Please pray that many teens would be saved!
