Schroeder News: Fall 2010

Schroeder News
Fall 2010

Dear Friends and Family,
It is that time of year again when the trees are so colorful and beautiful. I love the changing of the seasons and how God has designed everything to work together. He is the Creator and the Sustainer. Although the seasons have changed and our world is changing, our God never changes. Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” God has also preserved the Bible, it never changes. Isaiah 40:8 says, “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.” That is so comforting to know that we can always trust Him and rely upon what He says in His Word.
We want to praise the Lord for getting the new septic system in at camp after six years of trying. We had to go through many hoops with the state in order to get the permit. We also want to thank the Lord for some very generous brothers in Christ who donated their time and equipment to make this possible. The new system is a large system that will accommodate our future bath house and all other future buildings. This project took about three weeks to accomplish. We are praising the Lord that He provided the permit, the help, the funds, and safety during this time. Please be praying
with us as we have to raise the funds for the Bath House.
This fall we were also very busy with camps going on. We had family camp, which was over Labor Day weekend. We had a great group. The speaker was Warren Cheek from Frontier School of the Bible. He did a wonderful job as he challenged us out of John 15-16 Then we had women’s retreat on September 17-19th. It was a group of about 40 women who came up. We enjoyed the fall leaves, played games, ate lots of food, and were challenged out of God’s Word. The speaker was Ginger Millermon, who is a very talented singer, and speaker. She ministers to women all over the country through music, her testimony, and through sharing God’s Word. The next two weekends we had two rental groups. It has been a very busy fall. The men are also preparing everything for the winter. They are also chipping brush, and cutting up trees that were in the way when the septic system went in. Our next event is winter camp, which is for teenagers, and is after Christmas. This winter we also have 3-4 rental groups in January and February.
Brian is a busy man working at camp, the butcher shop, around the ranch, with the kids at church, etc. I stay busy at home. The kids are growing so fast. Josiah just started to crawl and he is now 10 months old. He is such a happy boy!!! He
loves to play with his big sister. Abigail is a big girl now. Her favorite thing is to make bracelets and necklaces. She also loves to read, feed the chickens and get their eggs. It is so neat because she is starting to understand some things about who God is and different things that the Bible teaches.
Thank you so much for your love, support, and prayers. We hope you are encouraged to hear what the Lord is doing at camp.

In Christ,
Brian, Tessa, Abigail, Josiah Schroeder
