Monk's Musings: Learn to Live Joyfully!
Beacon Bible Camp
“I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
PHILIPPIANS 1:4-6
Summer has arrived! We rejoice that in-person camps have already recommenced at Beacon. The ice and snow have gone, the lake is warming up, the woods are covered in green, the long evenings have arrived. Paul rejoiced as he prayed for the believers at Philippi, for he knew that God would complete the good work He had begun in their lives. In the same way we trust that the Lord will carry on to completion all the wonderful plans He has for Beacon and for each one of us who will serve as volunteer or be a camper here this summer.
Philippians is a wonderful short letter of joy. We are called to rejoice whatever our circumstances knowing that God is in control and He works everything for good in our lives. Our daughter-in-law Louisa and her sisters are putting the whole of Philippians to music, as a means to encourage memorizing this wonderful book. You may see the video of the first chapter at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_cvTthxXac
It is our prayer that during this summer camp season, Beacon Bible Camp may be used by God to bring joy to your spiritual life and provide opportunities to serve and encourage others. We invite you to come as a camper, we invite you to come as a volunteer, we invite you to pray with joy for Beacon, we invite you to give generously of your time and resources. “Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ… contending as one for the faith of the gospel” (Philippians 1:27).
All our best wishes for this summer season!
