Our monthly camp meeting will
be this Thursday, March 12, 6:30 PM
at Ozark Baptist Church Fellowship Hall
Greetings to
all of our camp members of the Dale County Gideon Camp. In Joshua Chapter 1 we are told to “be strong and very courageous”. That was the
theme of this year’s Gideon convention in Birmingham, and I pray that it will be our theme as we finish out this Gideon
year and move into Gideon year 2016. We
have been blessed this year with church services and contributions from those services,
great Faith Fund donations, an expanded Gideon Bible Card outreach, several
spirited distributions, a strong Auxiliary ministry, and the blessing of
thirteen new members. Our members have
renewed their faithfulness to our ministry in prayer, their participation, in
our several programs, and in their financial support which allows scriptures to
be purchased for world-wide distribution.
We still have much work to do in securing Gideon services in several of our
churches and in closing out this year in such a way that we will be able to
seamlessly transition to the challenges of the new Gideon year beginning on
June 1. Our program at this monthly
meeting will be done by our own Don and Margie McCall. Margie was re-elected as our State Auxiliary
President and Don was elected as our South Regional Vice President. We are blessed to have both of them in our
camp as we begin this next year. Both
Margie and Don will be sharing the many high points of the convention and will
challenge each of us to be “very strong and courageous” as we go about God’s work
in this ministry.
There are literally
millions of hands throughout the world that are reaching out to receive a copy
of God’s word; unfortunately, there are currently not enough
scriptures available to fill each outstretched hand. We need to remain determined in all of our
camp areas as we speed toward Vision 2020 and spread His Word through the
distribution of Bibles and Scriptures to every man, woman, boy and girl, because someone prayed, someone gave,
someone went, and someone placed a copy of God’s
Word right where He wants it to be. God
bless you for your outreach. Thank you
for being a Gideon/Auxiliary.
