It's been a while...like way toooooo long!

So I think that the title says it all.  It's been almost a year since I've posted last.  I'm not a great blogger...but let's avoid the obvious.

This is a pretty busy summer for IMPACT Students. 

There are a number of students and adults who are going to Cedarville for Super Summer next week (I'll be there starting tomorrow getting things ready for the "school" I lead).  SS is a leadership camp for students 7th-12th grades.  It is an amazing time digging deep into God's Word.  Almost 11 hours of intense Bible study, plus 4 worship/preaching sessions.  Please pray for the Lord to work!

In 2 weeks is MX78 (mission experience for 7th and 8th graders).  We have 18 middle school students taking part in MX78.  We are serving at various places in Dayton and Northern Cincinnati.  Some of the places we are going to serve are: Matthew 25 Ministries, Target: Dayton, St. Vincent de Paul, amongst others.  For most of these students this is their first missions experience. Please pray that they serve well and grow closer to the Lord.

In the month of July, we are taking 16 HS students and 9 adults to minister in Managua, Nicaragua.  We are going to be doing 4 days of VBS in 2 different communities.  We are also going to be spending time with children and youth, and working at the center we are staying at.  For many on our team this is the first time being out of the country.  I am excited about the opportunities that God is laying before us.  Please pray now for our team!

In August, Christa and I, and 10 other adults from FBCV will be going to Malawi, Africa to preach the Gospel in various villages.  I've never been to Africa before and I am so excited that God has given us this opportunity.

So with all that being said...or written...or read...there is a lot going on this summer.  Keep tabs on this blog.  I am going to be doing my best to keep it updated with all of the things going on.

Pressing On,
Dale
