The Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. Acts 13:2

We have such a nice little quiet, shady corner in the vineyard, down among the tender grapes, with such easy little weeding and watering to attend to. And then the Master comes and draws us out into the thick of the work, and puts us in a part of the field where we never should have thought of going, and puts larger tools into our hands, that we may do more at a stroke. And we know we are not sufficient for these things, and the very tools seem too heavy for us, and the glare too dazzling and the vines too tall. Ah! but would we dare, go back? He would not be in the shady corner with us now; for when He put us forth He went before us, and it is only by close following that we can abide with Him.

 As thy days, so shall thy strength be … I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me.  Deut. 33:25; Phil. 4:13

He will not impose upon you one needless burden. He will not exact more than He knows your strength will bear. He will ask no Peter to come to Him on the water, unless He impart at the same time strength and support on the unstable waves. He will not ask you to draw water if the well is too deep, or to withdraw the stone if too heavy. Dark hours come to us all; and if we have no clue to a peace that can pass unbroken through their murky gloom, we shall be in a state of continual dread. Any stone flung by a chance passer-by may break the crystal clearness of the Lake of Peace and send disturbing ripples across it, unless we have learned to trust in the perpetual presence of Him who can make and keep a “great calm” within the soul. Only let nothing come to you which you shall not instantly hand over to Him—all petty worries, all crushing difficulties, all inability to  believe.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you … let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27

Let us learn to live in the presence of the living God. Let us pray the Holy Spirit that this day, and every other day, we may feel, “Thou God seest me.” May the Lord Jehovah be as a well to us, delightful, comforting, unfailing, springing up into eternal life. The bottle of the creature cracks and dries up, but the well of the Creator never fails. Happy is he who dwells at the well, and so has abundant and constant supplies near at hand! Glorious Lord, constrain us that we may never leave Thee, but dwell by the well of the living God!

We have been pushing forward and seeking God’s  Glory for Campus Club. We pray, we listen and we move. We believe God is doing a big thing in a small willing vessel.

“Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.”   Romans 12: 10-11
What a summer!  Most of us look forward to summer.   It’s an opportunity to relax a little, maybe even take a vacation.  However, Campus Clubs, is running full steam ahead.  There is a urgency in the air.  No time to lag behind  but to be diligent in equipping young people to live for Christ, and to become positive role models in their communities.
Jobs Club is a work readiness program for middle school students.  We have 45 participants which is five more students than last summer with a waiting list.  On Mondays, we teach young people values such as timeliness, attendance, positive and professional behavior, how to dress for success, how to fill out an application, and what denotes a good employee.  They are learning biblical principles regarding work and money, how to set up a budget, and the principles of tithing Tuesday thru Thursday, the students go out into the community and implement what has been taught in the classroom.
The Benjamin Hawkins Learning Center is serving 100 students, teaching them Science, Engineering, Math, and Technology.  Synergistic Missions is a unique hands on curriculum emphasizing age appropriate skills like reading, and teamwork.  Young people are learning geometry, rocketry, how to build robots, hot air balloons, and other hands on activities that both challenge their intellect and engage them.  We have remedial classes for reading and math enhancement and of course we have recreation!
Swing for life has kicked off as well.  Ten young males and ten young ladies are learning the game of golf!  Our sole purpose is to affirm who they are in Christ through the game, the Word of God, and other fun activities.  Most of these young people are brand new believers!
There is an excitement in the air!  Everything that we do is designed to share Christ with young people.  God has, in His faithfulness, given us the volunteers and the resources that we need to accomplish what He has called us to do.  Please continue to pray for us as we seek to serve the Lord, fervent in Spirit, not lagging in diligence.
Blessings to each of you!
