Cook's Short Order Update

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1

"The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do." Galileo

Attended the 3CA Camping Conference last week. Wow! Thank you so much to our supporters for making attendance at these events possible. Great time of learning and brainstorming.

Stuff is beginning to take shape for our Outdoor Ed program. If you visit Bible Impact Ministries you will find some new stuff to check out. Sometime in March we will also be announcing and introducing some exciting stuff.

Cook's Short Order Update

"For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord..." Jeremiah 29:11.

"... time in nature is not leisure time, it's an essential investment in our children's health." Richard Louv.

Praise the Lord! New Harmony Church in Salem, MO, our new home church, has decided to take us on as one of their missionaries. What a blessing. Thank you all.

That brings our current support level to about 47%.

We are so grateful for how God supplies. Due to the generosity of you, our supporters, we are able to put new tires on our van, replace a small appliance, and other needed items. Did you notice our financial support level above? Evidently God is not concerned with percentage when it comes to providing for our needs. Phil. 4:19!

Please pray for:
1. Nate as he works through some decisions. We want him to be confident in God's plan for him.
2. A few who have contacted us regarding potential support. We want them to know God's desire in this matter.
