Where have the Carlson's been this summer.
In June we took a team of 15 to impoverished country of Haiti. One team member said "I thought we were going to visit the poor, I had no idea the whole country was poor.
Below is pictured one of the altar calls in one of four churches we ministered at this summer. The forth church in Mirebalis had never had a VBS before. The excitement and welcome was overwhelming. The kids chased the bus right out of the village. We promised to return.
We did some home visits. This is our team praying for an old sick woman who was so grateful we came and personally visited her.
Some of the wonderful times of fellowship with the youth in travel to our next destination.
Our mission house was connected to an orphanage. Many of the team members spent as much time as they could loving on these children.
Ministering the VBS was so rewarding. The team of youth and youth workers poured their hearts into the lives of these children.
The Pastor loved our message of the two kingdoms, the kingdom of God and the kingdom of this world.
IN JULY, we did two weeks of Champions for Life Kids' Camp. It was our 10th anniversary since the inception of this camp. We saw God minister to the hearts of these abused children once again. Thank you Lord for the faithfulness to the orphans and the poor, as you have promised.
In just a few hours we will be leaving for Romania. We will be there for 12 days. We have been asked to bring a VBS program for two locations this year. We are so excited to once again work with these passionate young adults wanting to get the next generation knowing, loving and serving God. Terry will also minister at the Sunday services and at a camp out with the men. Pat will be attending a ladies fellowship to encourage the women of the church. And of course there will be many times of one on one with their leadership.
Please keep us in your prayers. It has been a very busy summer. Sometimes we are only home for two weeks to unpack, do laundry, catch up on church responsibilities, visit our 8 grandchildren (soon to be 9) and then off to the mission field once again.
