Book of the Week

Anxious Abby and the Camp Trust Challenge

By Elisa Cathers, Beth Snider

Ages 6-12

So many children are struggling with anxiety in the world today. We need to lead our children to the peace that only Jesus can give them. Children learn that they have a choice to hold onto their anxiety or take it off like a backpack. They are empowered to fill their minds with Bible Truths rather

than worries. This book is a wonderful tool to use

in counseling children who have trouble with anxiety!

Steve & Sally Hagman

Operation Mobilization

We will be traveling in October to the Middle East to be part of a prayer time focusing on Ephah. This is the continuation of the Isaiah 60 prayer initiative. The Isaiah 60 prayer initiative is calling Christians from around the world to pray for the 5 nations listed in Isaiah 60:6-7: Sheba, Midian, Nebaioth, Ephah and Kedar. There will be over 20 people from around the world involved in this 6-day event. From there, a 5-day prayer time focusing on Sheba will take place. Steve continues to be the project manager for the Isaiah 60 prayer initiative.

Please pray for good connections with all those we encounter. We want to shine the light of Jesus. Pray also for smooth travels, safety and good health.
