Prayer Letter

June 2008

 Dear Praying Friends,

Hello again from the Bell Bunch, although the “bunch” is beginning to dwindle. Our oldest son Joshua graduated from High School on May 28^th. He began employment at Island Ford Baptist Church / WSOF Radio at the end of March and is no longer traveling with us. There is more room in our vehicle and trailer, but an empty space in our hearts as another one prepares to leave the nest. Please pray for him as he seeks God’s direction in his life.

Congratulations Joshua!

April and May was a little slow in our travels. However we did attend Camp meeting services at the Bible Baptist Church in Louisville, KY and at the Blessed Hope Baptist Church in Mississippi, in the month of April. We also attended a Mission’s Sunday in Maryville, TN at the Fellowship Baptist Church, with Pastor Tom Hatley.

In May, we were able to be in one night of Mission Conference at the Lighthouse Baptist Church in Jefferson, GA with Pastor Kevin Whitman, and two days of the Mission Conference at the Victory Baptist Church in Greenville, KY, Pastor Steve Pleasant. We also were able to preach and present our burden to the folks at the Harmony Baptist Church in Owensboro, KY.

Lisa was one of the speakers at the ladies meeting in our home church the weekend after Mother’s Day. This meeting was a great blessing both to her and me as we were going through some of God’s “testing” at the time. As always God showed Himself faithful and we learned a great lesson.

June has begun now and finds us back on the road in North Carolina and southern Virginia. We will be here most of the month and be going to West Virginia the last Sunday of June, then in Ohio the first Wednesday in July. In mid July we will attend a Mission’s Conference in Evansville, IN, and will be able to be at our house that week.

We have meetings scheduled in each month through November with some Sundays and Wednesdays to fill. Please continue to pray that God will direct my phone calls and pastors hearts that we will have a full calendar and be able to be in as many churches as possible.

Since our last letter, we have heard from more churches that they have begun to support us financially, bringing our support level to 27%. Praise the Lord!

Please pray for:

Souls to be saved and Saints to be helped when we preach

Us as we continue to raise our support

For protection as we travel

God’s guidance in Joshua’s life

 Pressing Toward the Mark,

Bro. Douglas Bell
