Next Meeting, Nov. 8, 2012

This Month’s Camp Meeting will be this Thursday, November 8th, at 6:30 PM, at the Quality Inn in Ozark.
To All Our Camp Members,
Many of us have heard about, or possibly even experienced, examples of God’s perfect timing as He’s worked to touch hearts and lives through the Gideon ministry.  Often Gideon testimonies are how God can bring about the world-wide growth of his kingdom as He puts the right people in the right place…at exactly the right moment.  During our training session, Around the Clock, Around the World, you will hear heart-touching reports from members and moving testimonies from people who turned to Christ through a Gideon-placed scripture.  Many lives were radically changed as a result of God’s perfect timing.      $3080.00.  That’s the total of our Faith Fund offering for our past Pastor Appreciation Banquet.  As you remember, our goal was $3000.00…a goal that some of us thought was more than the abilities of our camp.  God continues to bless our camp and the distribution efforts of our Gideon ministry.  Lives will be touched and changed and souls will be won to an eternal life with Christ because of what you do as a member of this camp.       We have several other challenges currently facing us, and I am asking everyone to be involved in stepping up to each challenge.  If you are a church representative and you have not yet secured a service, please do so as soon as possible.  So far this year we have had 21 services and have received $10,301.00 in contributions, and while we are where we should be for the year, we must stay on track and focused on our church partnership.       February 14 will be our New Member Dinner, and we need contacts.  Please continue to cast your net toward Gideon prospects.  Our goal this year is to grow by a net one Gideon and Auxiliary…we can only do that if we collectively and regularly reach out to member prospects.	I encourage each of us to pay our dues and to keep our membership active.  Each member’s dues has a dramatic impact on the effectiveness of our camp as we reach our through Bible distributions to lead the lost to Christ.       I hope to see each of you at our monthly Camp meeting.  Our meetings are always times of wonderful fellowship and sharing, and the information gained at our meetings helps each of us to stay focused on our ministry mission and to be better prepared when we are called to witness.  Thank you for being a Gideon.  Gene Greetings Auxiliary Sisters,       Ladies, God is good.  Have you enjoyed this wonderful cool fall weather?  Do you have a great family?  Is your health ok?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions then thank God for ALL your many blessings.  Everything we have we owe to our Lord and Savior.      Our Gideon President, Gene Nelson, touched base on our training session this month.  Let’s get together and hear the moving testimonies.      Looking forward to seeing each of you this Thursday.      Thanks to each of you for all that you do in this ministry, in the church and in the community. “Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.”  Psalm 95:2 God Bless You and Your Families, Lynn
