VerseD: John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:1, ESV
God has shown His faithfulness and goodness through the most extreme and miraculous means possible: He stepped out of eternity and became one of us.
VerseD: Psalm 113:3
From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised!
Psalm 113:3, ESV
God has shown His faithfulness and goodness, first through the consistent reliability of nature but mostly through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
VerseD: Revelation 3:20
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.”
Revelation 3:20, ESV
God showed His faithfulness and goodness by becoming one us to save us. He has promised to not leave us and to return bodily, and we can join Him in eternity if we accept His offer of grace by faith.
VerseD: 1 Corinthians 9:24-25
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.
1 Corinthians 9:24-25, ESV
We are called to faithfulness, and God tells us to exercise self-control as we grow. Fortunately, He also empowers us with the Word and the Holy Spirit.
Answered Prayers from Youth Camp
Firstly, thank you to all who prayed for our youth this past week (July 22-25). 5 churches were represented this week, about 140 students attending.
Here are some quick updates on this week:
- One student confessed his pride struggles, and he showed the fruit over the next day we were at camp.
- Several students committed to actively living their lives for serving Christ.
- At least four students came forward to receive Christ!
- James was praying someone would experience a miracle to help their faith grow deeper. He was born color blind (able to see black/white, grays, and brown (typically from red)). After about 30 minutes of praying for his fellow students, he opened his eyes to notice the stage lights looked different. This young man, praying someone else might experience a miracle, had his own! James is no longer color blind!
- James is not from my congregation, but he was in my cabin. We did not get to bed until after 1:00 am, because he kept discovering new colors and shades
It is always amazing to see the goodness of God. Please continue to pray for our new believers, students who had major breakthroughs, and for James and his new vision!
Love and grace,
Daniel

Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
