Dear Friends and Supporters, sorry that the prayer calendar is late. It has been a busy and wonderful summer and I am just not getting caught up on all the things I need to do.

Prayer Requests:
1: The purpose of my long trip in September is to start investigating my upcoming retirement in the spring. I am praying about moving to Mena, Arkansas nest April or May with the mission of starting a men’s ministry with my high school friend Richard Peck. Pray that God will direct my steps!
2: Pray for all the retreat that will have lined up in the fall. We still have a couple of open weekends. Lord willing, I will be back at camp to help the retreat groups that are with us October thru December.
3: Pray that the Lord will provide for all my needs when the time for retirement does occur (financial needs such as living expenses, medical, etc.). I am praying about wisdom as I look ahead for what the Lord has for me next.
Thanks again for praying for me and the ministry of New Life Bible Camp!
Ever Only Jesus,
Andy Maples
