 Yesterday morning was a special day for the Sweetser Wesleyan congregation as they officially welcomed Rev. Andrew and Jackie Kinney through a pastoral installation service. The celebration included the joyful baptism of a teenage girl who recently dedicated her life to Christ at camp. We’re excited to see what God has in store for Andrew and Jackie as they serve alongside the wonderful community at Sweetser Wesleyan Church.  Fairmount Family Camp kicked off yesterday evening with a strong start and the tabernacle nearly filled to capacity. The week is being led by a fantastic team, including Pastor Jeff Luedtke, Pastor Rob Tippey, and Executive Director Krista Brown. Rev. Nicholas Hect, lead pastor at Trinity Wesleyan in Tipton, opened the camp with a timely and Spirit-led message. He’ll be joined throughout the week by Rev. Amber Cook as part of the evening preaching rotation. Services begin each night at 6:30, and we’re confident you’ll leave encouraged if you’re able to attend.  Pastor Ryan Budde and the team at Westview Wesleyan in Jonesboro reported in with a backpack giveaway they held last weekend. In total, they distributed 782 backpacks to 280 families, hundreds of pairs of shoes, and served up 1,020 hotdogs and 11 dozen donuts to more than a thousand participants. Well done Pastor Ryan and the Westview team!  Pastor Andy Jellison and the team at Lifeway Church in Fort Wayne held another successful Vacation Bible School with over 100 children attending. Praise God for at least 10 young hearts making first-time decisions for Christ!  Each year, our district conference highlights reports from our various ministry champions.
