SUMMER MISSIONS

After this year's ministry trips to India, Haiti, Florida and Virginia, the summer has been incredibly busy. We would like to update you on what the Carlson's have been up to this summer and what in the WORLD are they doing.

JUNE - IRELAND

In Ireland we conducted a marriage seminar, parenting seminar, teaching, preaching, encouraging and meeting with leaders. Most of these young families came to Ireland for work. Leaving behind family and legacies, they were so hungry to hear what the Word of God says in these areas. Great time of ministry and encouraging fellowship.

Pastor Rachel and Barbara have been a dear friends for years and we always look forward to times of encouraging each other.

We are currently scheduling a return trip this February and again in the fall.

JULY - CHAMPIONS FOR LIFE KIDS CAMP

We spent two full weeks with the foster children that have been abused, abandoned and neglected and are currently in foster care. We cover this ministry with months of prayer and petitioning God on behalf of these children. It was once again a life changing experience for all.

AUGUST - ROMANIA

This year was special as we stayed in the home of newlyweds and leaders in the ministry. This afforded great times of encouraging and fellowship. The vacation bible school, where many of the young adults came to work with us, was incredible. Many opportunities for preaching God's Word, teaching and encouraging leaders in group and one on one format, including ministering at a men's camp out and a women's ministry day. Wonderful opportunities this August and thankful to God for this opportunity.

SEPTEMBER - NEW JERSEY

We joined a team to minister in a Spanish speaking church in New Jersey. Great times of ministry on Wed. Night, Friday Night Youth service, Teacher training on Sat. and Sunday service. Below is some of the team praying at the altar service.

Our son Tommy, not only preached Wed. Night, Friday Night and Sunday morning, but Terry and Tommy also poured into the leadership team one night.

This was a great year. In November we are expecting out 8th grandson. And within days of his birth, Terry will take a group to Israel. He will possibly have one week of turn around and we will head out to Africa for a pastor's conference. We are also asking for prayer as opportunities for next year are already arriving. We need prayer for the perfect will of God.
Once again we want to personally thank each one of your for your prayers, financial support and encouragement. We are blessed to have such faithful partners in this ministry.
