1/5

A note to you,Camp season is near again.Boys Week, 7-14: June 18-22, Girls Week, 7-14: June 25-29, Sr. Co. Ed. Week, 14-17: July 9-13, and Jr. Co. Ed., 7-14:July 16-20. Please plan on sending your children for their appropriate week. We have Bible studies, Chapel and preachingsessions everyday plus times of swimming, canoeing and games.Spring Revivals.Many of the churches in our association will be holding revivals this month and next. Dr. A. W. Tozer wrote the followingabout revival: One consequence of our failure to see clearly the true nature of revival is that we wait for years for somesupernatural manifestation that never comes, overlooking completely our own individual place in the desired awakening.Whatever God may do for a church must be done in the single unit, the one certain man or woman. Some things can happenonly to the isolated, single person; they cannot be experienced en masse. For revival to happen in your church, you have

to be a part of it and be prepared for revival thru prayer, repentance, Bible study and witnessing to the lost.Prayer Requests.1. Praise God for all that has been accomplished and will be achieved by His power in our association .2. Pray for the lost around us, that they will be receptive to the Gospel, be saved, and become disciples. 3. Pray for our association pastors and staff-their ministry, their vision, their health, and their spiritual protection.4. Pray for the association DOM and staff-their ministry, their vision, their health, and their spiritual protection. 5. Pray that the Christians in our association will humble themselves, seek God, repent of their sins, be obedient to His

will, and experience revival in their spiritual life.6. Pray that the members of our churches will look at their communities with eyes of compassion, and will feel called to tell

His Story.7. Pray that our associational churches will be actively involved in missions in our community, state, nation, and our world.8. Pray for the implementation of Gods plan in our churches and association.

Food For Thought:Ray Comfort who wrote God Doesn't Believe in Atheists said, Why are those involved in the abortion industry so

incredibly zealous for a womans right to choose? They have the enthusiasm of religious zealots. They pressure politiciansto be pro-choice, engage celebrities to rally for the cause, and strongly advocate voters to vote for a womans right tochoose. They protest, raise their angry voices, boldly hold up signs, and viciously demonize those who speak up for therights of the unborn. Why is that? What fuels their fiery passion?

Theres a good reason why those who are in the industry are so adamantly pro-abortion. They are the joyfulrecipients of a very successful and lucrative business. If you dont believe that abortion is a huge money -making scheme,check out your local provider for current prices. With the efficiency of a drive-through, they will expedite the killing ofyour baby for just $765 for up to a 16-week-old child, but the price increases if the baby is over 19 weeks. You will beshelling out three times the amount, and paying a whopping $2,165. Thats pretty good income for a few minutes of rippingoff the arms, the legs, and head of a baby onto a table; checking the body parts to make sure theyre all out, and then

putting them in the trash. Its just 15 to 20 minutes work for a skilled physician. And its all legal, efficient, and donebehind closed doors, just like the Holocaust. The love of money is still the root of all evil.

Ray Comfort mentioned the Holocaust where 6 million Jews were killed by Hitler. The United States Holocaust is53 million babies legally aborted. 53 million babies killed in this country as a method of birth control. We need to pray thatthis be stopped by whatever method God may take.

Yours in Christ,Bro. John Ryder
