  • Faithful God

    Faithful God

    But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

    2 Thessalonians 3:3

    Our time at Triple S Christian Ranch was marked by remembering that our God is faithful. We returned to the camp as we were closing the book on our trip to Peru, reveling and sharing what He is doing in that place. We returned to find a family of believers also rejoicing in the faithfulness of God.

    We delight with them in the fact that the camp has been growing which requires new and updated buildings. God has been abundantly and exceedingly providing to meet these needs. The boys’ cabin, just a thought last fall, stood finished and ready for Scott to stain.

    Areas were added to both ends of the tabernacle in the form of new decks. These decks will provide room for church groups to meet and counsel as needed.

    The trim and support for the girls’ cabin and shower house had also been finished and awaited stain.

    We witnessed once again the willingness of God’s people to drop everything to volunteer time and talents. (I won’t mention names…Dan… but you run that machinery like they are extensions of your own arms!)

    Meanwhile, the congregation of Freedom Baptist Church, currently meeting at Triple S, celebrated a huge answer to prayer as well. Enough funding from the One who owns it all poured in this spring. Work inside the church has begun; they now look forward to celebrating Christmas in their new church home! Praise the LORD for His faithfulness!

    Culvert

    So, what was accomplished? Scott and Dan worked to put in a couple of culverts, build up foundations, and dig a water line. Scott stained 2 cabins, a shower house, 2 decks, and a new podium backdrop, and as we labor, we pray to a faithful God. We pray for the future campers, staff, and congregations that will fill this campus. We pray for their salvation and growth in the knowledge of the Lord. We trust that as we work on the physical foundations, God will be exalted in the teaching of biblical foundations. We pray for a dying to self and a life blessed by being His with Christ in God. We remember that God is faithful!

    For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

    Colossians 3:3 (KJV)

    Freedom Baptist Church joined us last summer for a fast-paced mission project for Sinclair Baptist Church in Sinclair, WY. Plane tickets have been purchased for another trip this summer. Please pray for this church, the mission trip, and the much-needed completion of this new church building.

  • Opportunities to Serve and Pray

    Peru

    We so appreciate everyone who stepped out in faithful obedience with us for this mission. Because of your generosity and prayers, the ESL classroom is up and running with 3 laptop computers, headphones, mice, general classroom supplies and furniture, a speaking and listening curriculum, an on-line learning platform, and a gently used xerox machine. Items were even donated to help provide groceries unavailable in Peru. Praise God!

    Please continue to partner with us in prayerful support for this school, First Baptist Academy of Pachacamac (FBAP). This ESL program based in FBAP offers a wonderful outreach opportunity. We pray this school grows and that the Gospel and Biblical foundations will be shared with young families for God’s glory. Specifically, please pray for:

    • Monthly support for missionary teachers and/or helpers
    • ESL Workbooks for each student–$40.00 each
    • An ESL teacher’s manual–$40.00
    • Scholarships for students whose family can’t afford the cost of tuition

    Freedom Baptist Church joined us last summer for a fast-paced mission project for Sinclair Baptist Church in Sinclair, WY. Plane tickets have been purchased for another trip this summer. This is exciting news! Continue to partner with us as we plan for this project. OJIF hopes to put the exclamation point on the work done last summer by purchasing and installing new bathroom stalls. The bathrooms, meant for 3 people, are currently being used as single bathrooms.

    As you may remember from previous videos and mentions in our newsletter, FBC is a new church, who recently celebrated their 4th anniversary. Scott and I came to know the folks at FBC through Triple S Christian Ranch, because until their new church is built, FBC meets on the Triple S campus. However, the congregation of FBC recently celebrated a huge answer to prayer. Enough funding from the One who owns it all poured in this spring. Work inside the church has begun; they now look forward to celebrating Christmas in their new church home! Praise the LORD for His faithfulness! Please continue to pray for this church, the mission trip, and the much-needed completion of this new church building.

    Missionary Acres, Silva, MO

    Please pray for these sweet folks who have dedicated their lives in service to our Lord and Savior. They desperately need help ranging from full-time lawncare to carpentry work. Carpentry work is completed as funding is available, so donations to the Acres would also be welcome.
