MISSIONS UPDATE

Dear Cedar Church:

By the time you receive this update Summer Training Project
2014 will have ended and all of the students will have returned
home. I'll likewise be back in the area for a short while before I
head back to MSU. I want to say again how thankful I amfor all
the love and support you've shown me, and for your willingness to
partner in this ministry! Know for certain that this project has been
a means by God has worked in the hearts and lives of the students
here to bring about the obedience of faith. It's been an exciting
thing to see the other students growing in the faith and see them
apply the truth of the gospel to their everyday lives. My prayer is
that these experiences would be used by God to further the gospel
on the college campus and anywhere else he would have us go.
Thank you for love to us in the gospel!

InChrist,
Benjamin Van Dyke
