Dear Friends and Supporters, It has been a hectic time for me as I felt very sick and after a trip to my doctor, I was admitted into the hospital in Cumberland, MD for a series of test. What was discovered was that I had developed a UTI along with a blood infection. I was in the hospital for not quite a week. I am back home now, trying to get back into the swing of things at camp. To make things easier, I will combine November prayer calendar with the December calendar. Thank you for praying for me and the ministry of New Life Bible Camp.
Here is the Prayer Calendar for NOV-DEC 2024
NOV 1-3 Fellowship Bible Church of Shenandoah junction WV held their annual Middle School retreat, led by Tim Lemasters. I led worship for this event!
