We're Moving!

The Lord has richly blessed us once again. Last week, we were given the privilege of purchasing another home. This is not just any home though. We are the proud owners of a home that has been in Ingrid's family for almost 100 years. Her mother and grandmother were both raised there, so it holds lots of memories for everyone.

Soon after Christmas, we will be packing our things and heading to our new home in Simerly Creek which is just 4 miles from the Gorge. We will also be putting our current home on the market. So, pray with us that we can move smoothly and that the house sells quickly. It is a very hectic time at our house, but we are very thankful for this opportunity that God has given to us.

Wow!

The Valley Forge Nation at CCC 2010

Words cannot describe the blessings that the Lord poured down on each of us as we experienced Camp Christian Challenge and Parent Camp 2010. The Spirit was so strong in the Big Top during each service that you couldn't help but feel it.

Thank you to our church family and all of the Valley Forge Volunteers who made this such a success. Our church is so blessed! We also want to say thanks to all of the Doe River Gorge Staff who came along side us and helped us with each and every activity! Last weekend was just proof that God is still doing GREAT THINGS!!! PRAISE HIM FOR ALL HE HAS DONE!!!

It's time for camp!

This weekend is one of the most exciting weekends for us. We get to share Doe River Gorge with our church family. Starting Friday at 5:30 our church family, "The Valley Forge Nation", will invade the campus of Doe River for a weekend of spiritual blessings. This is an annual event for our church, and we are always so excited to see it come. We ask that you cover this weekend in prayer. Our desire is that the Holy Spirit will fill the Gorge and lives will be changed forever! Valley Forge FWB Church-It's time for camp!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mission Accomplished

It is very hard to believe that the Adventure Quest season has come to a close. Everything wrapped up yesterday afternoon as another year has come and gone. It would be almost impossible to tell you all of the great things that God has done this summer. For now, let us just say praise the Lord for all He has done! We are just unworthy servants who He allows to do His will. Although we often feel incapable, He continues to show His mighty power. Praise Him for He is worthy!!!

Now, we will shift gears and start planning for the upcoming retreats that are scheduled. On the top of the list are the Mother-Daughter and Father-Son Retreats. If you are a parent, make sure to sign up for these life changing events. Each promises to be a very rewarding time! For more info, go to http://www.doerivergorge.com/.

Once again, thank you for everything that you do for us. Our ministry would not be possible without the love and support we get from each of you.

This is it!

Today is the day we send the final group of Questors home. Adventure Quest 2010 will be complete! God has done so many marvelous things. We praise Him for He is worthy!



This week we got to share Doe River with some of our family. Shannon's niece and nephew came down from Maryland with two of their cousins, and Ingrid's niece met them for an action packed week of adventure. It is always a joy to see them having a great time!

The weekend will be filled with affirmations and fun for the Summer Staff. Hopefully, we can send them off with full hearts and excited spirits. Pray that God will continue to be active in their lives and encourage them to always work for Him!


Thank you for helping us through another summer! Our lives will be forever changed because of the work God has allowed us to do.

Only Two Weeks Left!

It is hard to believe that the Adventure Quest season is almost complete. Over 200 young people have already accepted the Lord as their Saviour this summer. We praise Him for the wonderful work He is doing. We are very excited about what He has for us in the next couple of weeks ahead.

We would love for you to join us as we pray for the Questers who have started a new walk with the Lord, the remaining Questers who are scheduled to come to have a wonderful experience, and for the staff as their physical bodies are growing tired. All of us could use a dose of God's strength and protection as the end of summer is approaching. Thank you all for everything you do for us! God is so good!!!

Today's the Day!

Today is the day Doe River Gorge welcomes all of the Summer Staff. It also marks the first day of a two week training session before Adventure Quest begins. There is lots to be done, and the devil would like nothing more than to trip some of them up. Pray that God will provide unity, strength, and encouragement for all that are involved.

Just to give you an idea of what you are praying for, this is a picture of the 2009 Staff. Several of them will be returning for this summer. The kiddos in the front are children of the full time staff members. It is amazing how God takes so many different lives and pieces them together to do a great work for Him! We will keep you posted on how everything is progressing. We can't wait to see what God has for all of us this summer!
