April 2019 Praise & Prayer Romans 12:2 "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will."   Praises: We praise the Lord for a staff and board of directors who desire to see many lives touched by God at Spruce Lake and Pinebrook. We thank the Lord for the new inquiries at Pinebrook as we strive to bring in more retreat groups. Praise God that nearly 50 volunteers from three churches were able to get much done at Pinebrook on Saturday, March 30th helping put together new furniture, beds and mattresses in the guest rooms. Comments from Feb. 25-27, complimentary Pastor & Spouse Retreat: "Hard to believe you're so generous to provide the Pastors and Spouses retreat for us, such a blessing, each year..I think Amos has been the best motivational and encouraging speaker you've had since we started attending, perhaps 5 years ago. Thank you so much for having him." "Over and above our expectations. What a wonderful, restful, inspiring 3 days!" "The accommodations were amazing, the food was exceptional, the speaker and worship were spirit lead and powerfully challenging and encouraging. They both led us to the throne room of God. the staff was friendly, kind, helpful and full of joy and love of Jesus. We had a great experience and will be back and invite others to come as well. Everything was done with excellence". "Accommodations, Hospitality and Food Service were top notch." "A fantastic event that provides support and encouragement in pastoral ministry." "I am very thankful for the Pastor/Spouse Retreat. It is the only vacation my husband and I can go to and we can go because it is free. We are both in ministry and do not have the money for vacationing at this point in our lives (we have kids too!) Thank you, thank you!" Prayers: Pray for the Franconia Mennonite Camp Association Board and staff at Spruce Lake and Pinebrook as we continue to seek God's direction for the ministry. Please pray that God would prepare the hearts of the arriving guests for what He wants to teach them while they are here. Phase II Youth Campus build out - pray for the sewer planning and submission to DEP and Township – for the new cabins at Spruce Lake Wilderness Camp.  Pray for the staff we need to serve guests at Spruce Lake and Pinebrook this summer. Pray that we would serve the group of nearly 900 guests coming to Pinebrook and Spruce Lake over Easter weekend. Let us know if you would like to volunteer at one or more of their five meals.   In Christ, Dave Trout  Mark 10:45   Director of Advancement Spruce Lake Retreat www.sprucelake.org davet@sprucelake.org Camp: 800-822-7505 ext.125 Cell: 570-236-1489 Upcoming Events GOLF Tournament: Wilderness Camp Benefit June 10, 2019 7 am Early Bird/ 1 pm Sunshine Round Assist parents in sending their children to camp.
