1 Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of you mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. This was the theme of this year's equipping the saints conference. The speakers for this year were some good friends of mine one being a fellow missionary sent out of Calvary Chapel Boise, Andrew Mccall, who pastors a church in Hungary. The other speaker is an assistant pastor out of Calvary Chapel Boise, Tom Valesco. Andrew taught the first night and gave a great overview of Grace in the life of the Apostle Peter while Tom taught the next couple of nights on being built up in Grace using 1 Peter as the text. It was great to see a group of , Romanians, Americans, and Hungarians being able to attend the conference and be equally challenged and blessed. It was also a lot of fun to spend some time with Andrew and Tom in the evenings walking around the town and enjoying the festivities of Bistrita Days, which is a local celebration every year. During this time we also had a
team from the Boise/
Kuna area and England come and work for 2 weeks on the cabana. They worked on replacing the broken down fence around the cabana itself to keep the neighbors cows and horses out. They also set up a removable pump so that we can fill the tank in the cabana and have running water. In addition, they finished the bathroom and fixed the plumbing. They also cleaned up t
he place and tore down one of the useless outer buildings. Along with all of that it was great to be able to just hang out and fellowship with some really good people. They all left very tired but excited about what they were able to do in such a short time. Overall July was a very busy month with the conference and the teams but in the end it was all worth it. We are continuing to pray that this conference in the summer would be a great tool to equip the local body here in Bistrita and any others that come. Next month is going to be just as busy and we ask for prayer for the Any's wedding that Brian will be officiating on August 10th and also the kids camp, and youth camp retreat.
