Tim Nelson speaking at Grace Bible Chapel The Nelson family serving with CAM International in Honduras was back in Grand Rapids this Sunday for a visit. Tim Nelson was in charge of a combined Sunday school class, sharing with the congregation how God is moving in Honduras. It is the goal and purpose of the Nelsons to help local pastors develop disciples, to mentor future missionaries and to work with national leaders to promote missions from Honduras. The challenges are many, but Christ's grace is more bountiful. God has protected the Nelson family through the three years that they have been in the small Latin-American nation and still continues to protect them as they continue His work. The Nelsons have acclimated to the new culture and people and keep gathering new friends in Christ. They are concerned about the current political crisis unfolding in Honduras, for family adjustments to new schooling arrangements this fall, for God’s provision for their Honduran residency needs, for financial support for new CAM missionaries joining the team in Honduras, and for wisdom in encouraging and enabling Hondurans to develop a vision to reach the world for Christ. The Nelsons need our prayers and support so that we can see God do great things through them.

Event: Father's Day Fish Fry

Date: 06-21-2009

Time: 5:00 p.m.

Location: Grace Bible Chapel

From toe-tapping fiddle tunes to uplifting gospel music, you will be encouraged as you hear the joyful and meaningful songs this family has to share.

Following the morning worship service, a potluck dinner and program were held to honor Leatha Lemen for her years of service at Grace Christian School. The program began with a review of each year Grace Christian School has been in operation, starting in 1978. Pictures were shown of each class and memories were shared about the different students.

Mrs. Lemen said she has been able to be a “friend” of many of the former students though Facebook. She said it has meant to much to her to have a contact with the students after graduation.

Individuals spoke of the memories they’d shared working at the school with Leatha, and of her love for all the students as demonstrated through her actions.
