We started out these next two weeks worshiping the Lord with two great families of the church body (Faith Mountain and Living Hope). This kicked us off for another week of camp at His Thousand Hills. This week we had the privilege of ministering to the Jr. camp as counselors and the drama / verse team. God moved very powerfully through the lives of the kids and began to show them who He was in ways they had never known. The ministry and our interaction with the kids was very different from the previous week with the teens. God showed us that He works in many different ways and has no problem relating the gospel to any age group.

Once we finished at His Thousand Hills, we had the great privilege of traveling to the state Michigan for a couple weeks of ministry. We kicked it off ministering and fellowshipping with the people from River of God in Romeo. We ministered in the area through the 30th and then proceeded to Mackinac Island where we ministered for four days. The Island is beautiful this time of year and we had the opportunity to stay through the night of the 4th which was nice so that we could see the fireworks. It was such a privilege to minister along side the pastor and his wife who live on the Island year round and minister out of their own needs. God is always so good and it is challenging to see those whom serve Him when they have given up everything in order to do so.

Kingdom Force is finally into its first full month of ministry for the summer. We started out this month keeping it local ministering in the Elim area for a couple weeks. God is continually showing us His awesome presence and revealing to us His perfect will and timing. Each church that we minister at shows us a different side of the body of Christ. God is bringing great change through His Spirit everywhere we go, and bringing about a fresh understanding of the way He seeks to use us.

We just finished up our first week at His Thousand Hills Camp in Wellsboro, PA. This week was teen camp and our team (Kingdom Force) had a blast just pouring into the young people who came out for the week. We had the awesome opportunity to be camp counselors and have continuous day to day interaction with the teens all week. God moved powerfully and brought about great change in the lives of both the campers and counselors. We were greatly blessed through this experience and our eyes were opened to how good God really is. Our God truly is a great God.

So it begins! We have now launched out of the preparation stage and are beginning the next ministry tour.  We started out at a youth rally in Frewsburg, NY.  The young people were very excited to see Jesus move amongst their peers.  They pressed into what God was doing and encouraged each other to be involved.  The weekend following this we spent four days ministering at Blue Mountain Retreat in PA.  It was amazing to see the desire that the people had for more of Christ through worship and the hunger they had for a deeper understanding of God's Word.  While there, we were also given the privilege of ministering to the youth by being apart of their activities throughout each day. 

Last night we ministered at Faith Community Church in Geneva, NY.  It was challenging to see the people of the church rushing in after work to come and provide a hot meal for the people in the local community.  We were their to minister but I believe that the individuals who volunteering their time also ministered to our hearts.  It is such a joy to be able to work along side people who give selflessly and freely of their time and money.  This is the example that we seek to follow.  Christ giving up every right and privilege so that He might give us the freedom to live.

Hello everyone! Over the past two weeks we have been preparing our hearts for ministry, our voices for the music, and our acting abilities for the dramas we will be performing. Last week we spent three days at His Thousand Hills Camp in Wellsboro, PA. Our goal was to spend as much time alone with God as possible. We also helped the camp three hours a day in order to prepare for the summer season. This gave us a fresh perspective and an opportunity for the new team to bond.

This week we have spent a majority of our time practicing music for leading worship and memorizing the lines to a skit we will be doing this Sunday.  In ministry there are many ways in which God can use you to reach others. As a blessing, God has given each member of the team different passions, gifts, and strengths that will come together perfectly as we begin to form as a team. God knows what He is doing when He places four "random" people together and says, "Okay, now I want you to work together, in peace, while loving each other." This year, like every year before it, is an opportunity and privilege for each one of us to love and serve God.
