Mission Service Corps Summer 2009

On a Personal Note:
Wow! God is worthy to be praised. Second Quarter 2009 has been busy and we continue to see God’s hand
at work in this ministry. We see His mighty hand working out small details, answering prayers, providing our
every need and growing us in His grace and showing us His tender mercies. We are so grateful for each of
you and pray for the Lord to continue His blessings on you. Philippians 1:9 “This is my prayer: that your
love may abound more and more in knowledge and depths of insight.”

Beginning in Arizona……
We attended the National Disaster Relief roundtable
meetings in Phoenix, AZ on April 20th thru the 23rd.
Unlike past events where Randy taught, our primary role
was to assist our Adult Volunteer Mobilization Team with
the setup and logistics of hosting the meetings. During
the week we found time to build on existing relationships
and discuss evangelism strategies with our Disaster Re-
lief Directors from across North America.

Onto Wyoming ….
We attended the Campers on Mission National Rally in Gillette,
WY with our team from the North American Mission Board on
June 14th thru the 19th. Randy taught evangelism workshops
and Ronda taught prayer walking. Ronda also lead a prayer walk-
ing team to pray over the facilities, activities, and the state of
Wyoming each morning. Approximately 100 trainees attended
classes and/or participated in the actual prayer walking.
One of the highlights of this Rally was the focus on the spiri-
tual needs of Wyoming. As we were out and about in the commu-
nity we had the opportunity to encourage and pray for the peo-
ple. We had an opportunity to minister to a young women at Of-

visited her, we were able to pray with her and give her a Bible.
Brandi said this was the best gift ever! What a joy it was to en-
courage and love on the Wyoming people!
After the Campers on Mission National rally we traveled to
Wamsutter, WY to spend time with our dear friends and Mission
Service Corps Missionaries, Harold and Barbara Lunsford. We
were privileged to go out with them on the mobile unit in the Oil
Field Ministry. We had an opportunity to present the gospel to a
Oil Field Workers
worker by the name of Gerald who drove a water truck. We felt
compassion for the oil field workers and continue to pray for their
physical and spiritual needs. What a blessing Harold and Barbara
are to those who thirst in the desert of Wyoming.

Second Quarter Results ….


A very busy second quarter ended with approximately 1,700 people engaged
in evangelism training or in ministry presentations. We give God the glory for the
Visitor from the Wild, Wild West things He has done! We count it all honor for the Kingdom!
We are spending some time on the home front getting caught up on projects
and paperwork before the next storm. We continue to covet your prayers. If you
have a prayer need, please email us at rcorn@namb.net. We feel such grati-
tude to the Lord for the way He touches hearts to be part of this ministry. Thank
you for your part! Blessings to each of you in the name of our Lord and soon
coming King Jesus!
