8th Annual Sonshine State Experience @ Florida Bible Camp

Photos above are of some of the activities going on this weekend here at FBC. There was a special play time for around 40 Foster Kids. Many games and a petting zoo was fun for all.

Photo above is Dick & Nina Stockton they are my friends and Sojourners. I met them in Mobile while working Katrina. They also came to New Orleans to help me while I was doing disaster assistance there. They stopped by Florida Bible Camp last night and left this afternoon. We talked about the work here at FBC, Sojourning and the disaster assistance mission. Dick and Nina are just finishing over 2 months of sojourning mission work here in Florida.

Update from Don and Rosemary

The following was taken from Missions with Don And Rosemarry's blog.

After several months being away from this blog, we are now able to rusume this work. I must say, that I did not know how may of you appreciated and read this blog until we were unable to publish it for a while. The problem was that we were, with all of our other evangelistic work, building a new house. We also had a two month mission trip with the Sojourners that we wanted to complete before we started again. We had a great mission trip in the state of Florida. We worked with congregations in Key West, Hollywood, Cape Coral, ( near Ft. Meyers) and Lakeland. We were involved in Vacation Bible Schools, Gospel Meetings and many Bible Studies. We baptized nine people into Christ on this mission trip. We found many people very receptive to the gospel message. We would have liked to have worked more in door knocking and setting up Bible Studies, but other work was also required on this mission. By the way some really good news, many of you know Mike, who has worked in so many disaster related activities, well good news, he is now heading up a new program called "Disaster Assistance". You can find out more info about it by going to his blog www.mikesmissionupdates.blogspot.com It will certainly be one of the efforts about which we will be writing. In my opinion, Mike is one good guy. Again thanks for your encouragement and support of our mission efforts. Please tell a friend about the return of this informative blog.
