Last week of tour!

The Echoes of Grace had an amazing summer on tour this year for Grace Baptist College. We have had many opportunities to reach out into communities in many different states and tell souls about Christ so that they may be saved. God has blessed each one of us with the privilege to go out this summer and represent our college. We do not take for granted what we have been able to do while on tour. We have been given the chance to serve God full speed this summer, and we have enjoyed every moment of it. God is so good!

Due to the lack of internet access at the places we've been to thus far, we have here posted pictures from the rest of the summer. Thank you, Grace Baptists College for sending us out this summer to represent you!

Once again we were able to go back to West Union, West Virginia where Mt. Salem is located. We were at the camp from Monday to Tuesday evening. The spirit at this camp is just awesome! The camp has a family atmosphere, and treats everyone with respect. Once again were treated with so much kindness. We had many information cards about the college filled out, and were hoping to see some teens fired up about serving the Lord. We're still praying that we are a blessing and an influence to those we encounter and meet each and every day.





Wednesday morning we left early for the trip to Fort Plains, New York where Pastor Marty Braemer pastors Fords Bush Bible Church. The service went well, and after the service we had the chance to meet many teenagers and present the college to quite a few of them. We also got to meet Amber (the one standing in the middle of the picture), and Clorissa. We had a great time at the May's house, and stayed up late talking and laughing. It was so relaxing. We were again treated with kindness and hospitality, and are very thankful.

At the end of a busy week, we were at First Freedom Baptist Church in Kent, Ohio with Pastor Dan Alexoff. We were at this church on a Saturday night, and a Sunday morning. Saturday morning we had the chance to go out doorknocking and invite folks to come to First Baptist church. We had many good responses, and chances to invite people to the Saturday evening service to hear us sing.

We had a great time of fellowship with the family we stayed with. They treated us like royalty, and generously gave anything away that would make us more comfortable. We were thankful to the Thyr family, and their kindness towards us.

Sunday p.m. the 14th, we sang at Pastor Matt Schwender's church in Latrobe, PA. We were taken out to eat with the Pastor and his family, along with some other church members and had a great time.

Tuesday the 9th, we were at Faith Baptist Church in Broadway, Virginia with Pastor Kevin Gerber. This was our first time presenting Grace Baptist College to this church, and we were accepted well. This also was a church that had a great Christian atmosphere. The people were a joy to be around, and we were thankful to have been able to meet them all.

The following evening we were in Martinsburg, Pennsylvania with Pastor Mark Biter. The service went well, and the time we were able to spend with the members of this church was wonderful. We were all put up in lovely homes, and were treated with great hospitality. We were thankful for all the Pastor and his church members did for us.

On Thursday p.m. we were in a meeting at Pastor Larry Leonard's church in Washington, PA. We were all encouraged to see such a great group of young people at this church, and had a great time spending time with their teens.

On one of our days off, Bro. and Mrs. Ramos took us to Niagara Falls once more. We took a long, scenic route and went down into the Cave of the Winds. With this adventure we were able to go down right underneath the Bridal Falls. In spite of the force from the water, and the wind produced from the falls, we enjoyed every minute of it.

Sunday evening we were in Pastor Britt's church in Ransomville, NY. We had a great service at Cornerstone Bible Baptist Church, and wonderful fellowship with the members of the church.

Saturday night the Dier family took us, along with some singles in the church, to Niagara Falls. Most of us had never seen the Falls in the evening, so the scenery was absolutely amazing. We had a great time of fellowship with the singles from the church, and enjoyed every moment of our time at the Falls.

Sunday a.m. we were in Lighthouse Baptist Church in North Tonawanda, NY with Pastor David Constantino. We enjoyed our time here at this church. We met a future Grace Baptist college student, and were spoiled with all the great food provided, and superb lodging.
