La Sierra Bible Camp is a unique church camp experience for teens in the valley of Aquiles, Mexico. The camp, started by members of the Edmond church and now directed by Ismael Resendez, conducted two sessions of La Sierra this summer with 38 students the first week and 58 the second week. There were a total of five baptisms
during the weeks of praise, worship, and Bible study. Please keep the teens from Aquiles in your prayers.

REFLECTIONS…
It was announced last week that Kelci and I will be moving to Niteroi, Brazil to work with the mission’s team there. We are excited about this opportunity as mission work has always been on our hearts.
Kelci and I both attended the Edmond church of Christ while in college. We were blessed to be involved with the campus ministry and to be mentored by Brent Nichols, Evan Burkett, and other members. The college years are so important and this church has been an instrumental part of who we are today and what we believe in. In campus ministry, we found our love for missions.
We have been blessed to work with the youth group for the past four years; blessed by the students and their parents. I know that God will continue to bless and do amazing things through this group of parents and students.
Your prayers, support, and encouragement have been unprecedented and we appreciate you all so much. We have loved spending time with the parents, elders, staff and of course our youth. We will miss you all greatly, but know that God has big plans for you all.
