Schroeder News- Summer 2009

Dear Family and Friends,
We are excited that the summer is here again. We are anxious to see what the Lord is going to do in people’s lives through camp. It is such a privilege to serve the Lord up at Twin Peaks Bible Camp. God is all-powerful and doesn’t have to use us to accomplish His work, but He chooses to work in and through us. We are able to participate in His perfect plan, which is an amazing honor. Thank you Lord!!!

Rocky Mountain Baptist Church
Rocky Mountain Baptist Church from Rifle, Colorado came up June 3rd-6th. They came up with about 20 kids to put on a purity camp for their youth group. They were a great group of kids. We stayed busy as we directed their activities such as: archery, capture the flag, hiking, volleyball, and camp fires. We also enjoyed cooking for this group. We praise God because a young man accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior at this camp. We pray the he will begin to walk with the Lord and grow to become a Godly young man.

Men’s Retreat
We had men’s retreat on June 12-13th. There was a group of about 15-20 guys who came up to eat manly food, have a clay pigeon shoot out, to study God’s Word, and to serve the Lord. Men’s retreat is a work retreat, so each year we have certain projects for them. This year the big project was to replace 4 planks on our bridge. The men were able to get it done, which was a huge blessing. We had another group who mowed and ran the weed eaters. We are very thankful for all who came and gave of themselves.

Upcoming Projects
The bath house is still waiting for approval from the county and state regarding our current septic system. They are determining whether our current septic system is adequate enough for the bath house. Please pray that we would be able to use our current septic system and not have to put in another one just for the bath house.

Looking to Summer
This summer is going to be a much lighter summer for us regarding rental camps. We have not had the interest like we usually do. But we will still be busy working on projects at camp that usually get put on the wayside because of busyness.
The speakers for this summer are Lanny and Marilyn Johnson from Alpha Omega Institute. They do a great job teaching the kids about creation science. Their program includes puppet shows, slideshows, hands-on activities, crafts, and sound Biblical teaching. Please be praying for them as they prepare to share God’s Word this summer.
We are excited to see what the Lord is going to do in the lives of the campers, volunteers and staff. He is always at work even though we may not see the results right away. Please be praying for the campers: salvation of the lost and growth of those already saved. Pray for the counselors, volunteer staff, and Twin Peaks Bible Camp staff.
Brian is the leader of the A-team, which are teens who volunteer for the week. He will be busy keeping them lined up on their jobs, challenging them out of God’s Word, and just hanging out and having fun with them. He also teaches archery, helps with games, and counsels if needed. Tessa will be busy working in the kitchen, which she loves.

The Schroeder Family
We are very excited to announce that we are expecting our second child in December. Please be praying for Tessa throughout this pregnancy. She is doing very well and is starting to show. She also stays very busy with Abigail who will be two in July. Abigail talks a lot; she surprises us sometimes with what she says. She keeps us laughing.

In Christ,
Brian, Tessa, and Abigail
