May 2024

Men’s Camp 2024 was a great success! From April 4-6, we had 84 men from 11 churches gather together to learn what God says about Courage from the life of Gideon, and it really helped us! This is the highlight of our year, with men seeking God and seeking to follow a different path than the world has for them!

We also just finished having a Family Conference this month with a dear pastor friend, Lou Guadagno Jr. and his wife. As always, the church folks were hungry for help with their homes and marriages. What a gift the Guadagno’s are!

Getting ready to celebrate 30 years here in Ballincollig – my family and I arrived January of 1994, and started regular Sunday and Wednesday evening meetings six months later in Blarney on June 4th, of the same year! We had 2 people show up for the first service and have never had a service where no one came! 28 years of Men’s Spiritual Camps, 20 years of week-long Youth Camps, 25 years of week-long Bible Clubs; Hundreds and hundreds of people have been saved, and baptized, and discipled, and we are still going on, by the grace and help of God and His people!

Please pray for the following people, and the Upcoming Events … 1) For more visitors to come to hear the Gospel! 2) Upcoming baptisms – there are 3 ready to get baptized when the river water is a little warmer. 3) We have our yearly Bible Club August 12-16 coming up, and 20 volunteers from a supporting church in South Carolina are coming to help us with all the Gospel outreach – pray for many local young people to learn the gospel and decide to follow Jesus!

Your friend and fellow-servant,

Pastor Craig Ledbetter
