Ministry wise, August was Amazing! We had the honor of being with Bro. & Sis. Richard Young, of New Lexington, Ohio (August 8-13). Bro. Young is a presbyter in this district, and he and his wife are tremendous blessings to the Ohio district.

With outstanding services, New Lex UPC "ushered-in" the Presence of God every night into their beautiful sanctuary. This was a week that God ministered directly to the body, and encouraged & uplifted us all.

This month also consisted of services in Mt. Vernon, pastored by Bro. Duane Kramer (District Secretary). Bro. Kramer has been of enormous value and blessing to us! He is the pastor of a gorgeous church, housed in section 5 of the Ohio district. The Lord assured His people that He is on their side, and remains active in their life…. and if needed, He will fight for His people!

The church in Grove City, Pastored by Bro. Kevin Brown, and assisted by Bro. Michael Lester, this church has experienced great things in the past several months. With many new converts, and an ongoing outreach endeavor, Grove City continues to thrive!

What a great group of people! The Sunday night service (August 20) was nothing less than "heavenly." God's presence was overwhelming, and he ministered to the visitors as well as the body! He confirmed the burden and direction of the church, and breathed fresh faith for the future! We have grown to love and appreciate the Brown & Lester families!

All in all, August was amazing!

Last but not least, we experienced a literal Homecoming….. "We got our 5th wheel back!"
