The Spring Wind-Up has begun! Every year at about this time we crest the hill and begin the downward roll to summer! The past couple of weeks have certainly propelled us forward.
Last Monday I made an early trip in to Fredericton to have a new windshield put in the camp truck so that it will meet MVI conditions. I took the opportunity to pick up some new windows some hardware items for the impending tuck shop renovation.
The following day Liz, Ivy and I made our way to Victoria Corner, to N.B.B.I. for an opportunity to speak to the students and faculty in chapel. As always, it was great to visit the school and reconnect with friends and connect with new students. This year we are hopeful to recruit a student from either Bible School or a senior in High School to serve at our summer camps in the role of Program Co-Ordinator. Following our visit to the school we made a quick detour to Houlton, ME to pick up Tuck items and prizes for the upcoming ANBC Men's Retreat.
As we prepare for the arrival of our work teams next week, we have been collecting all of the materials and equipment that the teams will need for the projects! Stay tuned to the blog next week for updates on our renovations!
On Sunday, we had the privilege of visiting Forest Hills Baptist Church in Saint John. I was asked to present the ministries of NCEM and ANBC and to preach in the morning services. I was also given the opportunity to give a seminar on evangelism during a luncheon meeting for their summer ministry teams. It was encouraging to be able to be with the folks at Forest Hills and a great opportunity to be able to share with their fellowship and ministry teams. Forest Hills will be sending a team to one of our summer camps and the Korean Global Mission church will be sending a team to another of our weeks. We look forward to a wonderful summer of ministry together.
It is year end and audit time at NCEM, so this week I have been working on my year end checklist for the ANBC books as well as providing information at the auditors request. It is perhaps not the most exciting part of ministry to worry about the finances and books, but it is comforting and encouraging to know that we have an executive team and CFO who are committed to ensuring the details are being cared for.
Tomorrow Todd & Zach Nielsen and I will visit Devon Park Christian School to share during their chapels. Perhaps the Lord will impress upon some of the senior high students to serve with us this coming summer.
As our schedule continues to fill and we move ever closer to summer, please keep the ministries of ANBC in prayer. That we would be diligent to our roles here and that the ministries might be fruitful and full and bring Glory to God!

Little Southwest Baptist Church
Well my friends, I must apologize for my brief blog absence of late. It has been a busy time and I haven't allowed myself to take time to update all of you on what's been happening here at Arrowhead!
It has been year end, and as the book keeper for Arrowhead Native Bible Center I've had a few extra tasks for my part. I know that out at headquarters the finance department has been, and will continue to be busy as they prepare all of the books from various departments for the auditor. Keep them in prayer as they labour in good stewardship of that which the Lord has seen fit to bless us with.
This Spring has come with a lot of deadfall on the property of ANBC. I've been busy collecting and burning brush this past week. Throughout the week I've had the very welcome assistance of some folks from our church. It's certainly a blessing to be able to enjoy the outdoors this time of year!
Liz and Marcia, Kevin and I have all been busy rounding up materials, supplies and equipment for our work week coming up at Arrowhead. We have teams coming from several different churches, some as far away as Ontario, for the week of April 25th to 30th. These teams are coming ready to work, and will be helping us with MANY projects at the center. I will give you regular updates during our work week and share pictures of all of the work that we are hoping to have done. We are very excited and blessed by the sacrificial work that the work teams will do! We are certainly praying for good weather on April 30th when the largest number of people will be at ANBC to assist us with jobs!
Today we traveled to Sillikers, NB with the Strouts to share with the folks at Little Southwest Baptist Church about the ministries at Arrowhead Native Bible Center. What an encouragement it was to be among the folks there. Their enthusiasm for the ministry and concern for First Nations ministry is a blessing to us. I was so excited when we walked in and were greeted by a large sign and sign up sheet for a work day at ANBC on April 30th. There were already 16 people signed up to come along.
It's going to be a great week as we welcome Len and Lorrayne Breen, our field directors, who will be arriving from Ontario on Tuesday. They will be here for three weeks as we enjoy the work week and prepare for some meetings with NCEM executive in early May. Please keep them in prayer as they travel tomorrow and Wednesday!

Riverglade United Baptist Church
Sunday morning Liz and I were pleased to share with the congregation at Riverglade Baptist. Their enthusiasm and support were a huge encouragement. They have promised to uphold us, our staff and campers in prayer as the summer camps approach! There will be opposition in many forms, and it is so important that our friends and supporters join with us in prayer as the summer approaches. It is vital that our staff maintain their relationship with the Lord and not allow themselves to be distracted from the most important relationship in their lives. Not only for ministry sake, but for their own spiritual well being as well! And please pray that even now the Lord would be preparing hearts and minds to hear the gospel presented clearly and practically at camp this year!
We are nearing year end with NCEM, and I have been quite busy today getting some book work done and beginning to prepare for the year end procedures. Roan and Laura at NCEM headquarters will have their work cut out for them as they merge over twenty sets of books from various NCEM departments.
Tomorrow Kevin and I have several meetings in the Fredericton area. We will be cashing in all of the pennies that we have received as well. I'm sure it will be an interesting visit to the bank! I'll let you know what the final tally is tomorrow night!
