Missionary Greg Lyons and his team have started their High School Senior class camps. Obviously, these are for the seniors in school only. Many of these students previously went to another religious camp, but because of the tremendous results of the students who have gone to the Highlands Philippine camp constructed by the Rawlings Foundation, many schools have chosen to have their students go to our camps.
The Gospel message will change lives, and because it does, the school officials have made this important decision. These Senior camps will have a tremendous impact on the lives of these students. Will you pray today for these camps? Thanks.
Campers - 6,915
Saved - 3,857
Baptized - 528
Baptist Bible College Asia New Student Applications - 96
These figures are the result of the first seven camps.

2,200 Saved In Dominican Republic Baseball Camps
Bill,
Here is the article on our recent baseball outreach:
"In November, The Rawlings Foundation Complex in the Dominican Republic hosted the annual SCORE International Baseball Outreach. There were 191 men from the USA who travelled to the DR to conduct baseball clinics. Each day, Dominican boys came to the clinics to get instruction, equipment, and to hear the Gospel. There were more than 6,000 Dominican boys who attended.
At every clinic, the Gospel of Jesus Christ was clearly presented in testimonies of the USA players and coaches and the preaching of missionaries. Over 2,200 boys prayed to receive Jesus as Savior. The beautiful Highlands Complex, built by the Rawlings Foundation, is the site for future sports evangelistic efforts. The camp will also be used for discipleship.
Currently, over 200 boys attend weekly discipleship classes. Gary Carter, member of Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame, participated in the clinics as well as players from the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies, and LA Dodgers."
Bill, I will also be sending you a DVD of this year's outreach along with some photos.

Bibles for Sierra Leone
Dear Pastors and Friends,
Hello to all of you again. I have great news from Mike Peper and the wonderful work being done in Sierra Leone. As I have told you previously, Mike is now superintending seven churches that have been started under his brief ministry there. Last Sunday they all met together for their monthly combined service. There were 707 Sierra Leonians present with 89 professions of faith and 67 baptized that day. The church that was started thru the preaching of Harold Anderson while we were there (In Waterloo) sent 68 folks to this meeting. Wow, God is so good! I praise the Lord for such a marvelous mission field and all of you who have had a part in it.
Now some more good news. We are ordering the books for the pastors and students early next week. Almost all of that money has come in and I feel that need will be met by the end of next week. We are ordering 34 sets of books at $77 for each set.
Now, for some really remarkable news. Missionary Mike Peper estimates that only about ten per cent of his church members own a Bible. We want to remedy that if we can. We have found paperback New King James Bibles for a buck a piece...that's right, one dollar buys a Bible. I just got off the phone with Mike and he is ecstatic. His words were, "Ed, do you realize we can put a Bible in the hands of every believer for about $500?". So, here's the deal. Harold and I would like to lead in the raising of this money for Bibles to send to Sierra Leone. Do you realize you can put Bibles into 25 homes in W. Africa for $25? Now, I know that it is Christmas time...and, many of you have already given sacrificially to this work. However, I believe most of us can find 25 bucks in the next 30 days. I can and I will! Our goal is to send 1000 Bibles...500 to give out immediately and another 500 for Mike to give to future believers. If there is such a need as this in such a poor country as Sierra Leone, how can we not rise up and meet this challenge together?
Now, the container that will be packed with these books and Bibles will not be shipped until the end of January. We have plenty of time to get the money raised and the books shipped to Mike's Pennsylvania address. Mike is home until after Christmas and he said he would help raise money for this. I told him..."No way!" He has many other needs and he needs to raise money for them. I told him that I have great confidence that Harold's friends, as well as my own, will meet the challenge for these Bibles.

Lomar delaCruz from Cambodia
Dear Beloved,
We started the month of November with tracts distribution and we were able to pass out 23,000 copies of a newly translated tracts entilted "How to get to heaven". As a result we have 2 families added to our church in Prey Nup, 6 souls in Dangkao, a new Bible stundent named Sophara.
Below is a Testimony testifying about the result of Soul Winning.
Bro. Tong Borin had to work in the Acelda Bank with a pay check of $230 per month. He had to pay her mother's debt, but when he did , he quit the job to go on with the ministry. A "country-boy" who had to feed a broken home of 7 and yet gave up the money to obey the HIGHER CALLING of GOD. He is the Mission Pastor of Talat Baptist Church. Here is one of his lates soul winning testimony:
On November 21 he went soul winning in Domnak Trach Village and and went to the house of Mr. San to share the Gospel to his brother in-law but when I arrived they were arguing together for Mr. San is asking money so he can drink wine early in then day. So Bro. Borin pacified Mr. San and asked him to listen to me. But he said if you want me to listen to you, give me money to drink wine then I will listen. But bro. Borin convinced him to listen to "the greatest story ever told". Then Mr. San asked "what will I do so I will stop drinking and stop boxing my wife?" If you want to know more come to our Bible Study every Friday and Saturday and come attend church every Sunday. Then he said "can I stop now?". So I asked him to listen more and at the end he prayed the sinner's prayer. After prayer, he did not ask for money to buy wine. His wife came to Mr. Borin and gave 4 coconu fruits. Now, Mr. San asked Bro. Borin to teach Bible in their house and he has been coming to church every Sunday now.
God is still in the business of changing lives here. The church in Talat is just 14 months old. One of the church member , Aunt Boun offered to God 3,000 square meters of property so the church can build a church there. God is so good to us and the ministry.
Nov.8 was the 4th Annivesary of Treng Trayoeng Baptist Church. We had 7 saved that day. Our Primary School there has an increased attendance of 24.
Please pray for our coming Sports Camp on Dec.9-10 and our 10 Christmas Evangelistic Programs beginning Dec.13.
Thank you for your prayers and support.
Yours for the sake of Calvary,
Lomer Hope and Grace dela Cruz
