June 11 was Keegan
and Becka's 2 year anniversary of
living and doing ministry in Sweden. Praise God
for the work He has accomplished! We want to thank you for your
continued support. Since we have been here some
of the highlights are:
- Watching the Stödgrupp/ Committee take ownership. Just
yesterday at our end of the year meeting they planned a garage
sale in August that they will run to raise money for
Young Life Vallentuna. They
also planned a dessert evening they will host
in September to introduce Young Life to 40-50 new adults
in Vallentuna and welcome them to be
a part of this ministry.
- Seeing kids open up
and consider Christ. Many kids,
have become like little brothers and sisters to us and we
pray for the day they will become part of our eternal family.
- Earning the trust of
a local Pastor who has seen our desire to help kids assimilate
into the Body of Christ.
- Training and
Equipping Rebecka as a leader and
having the faith to send her to be an intern with Young Life
in Madison, WI where she can learn even more and someday make
an even bigger impact on the lives of teenagers in
Sweden.
- Participating in 3
incredible camping experiences that have helped us to
communicate Christ's love to teenagers.
Thank you for praying for
Summer Camp 2009! It was an incredible week. Thanks to Becka's parents, Larry and Ardis, coming to babysit Sofia, both Keegan and Becka were able to be cabin leaders and go deep
with kids and leaders during an intense week. Keegan's guys
need your prayers!!! His five guys wrestled with the talks
each day, wondering if it could be true that there is a God and
that He loves them. Through their discussions, 4 out of 5 of
the guys said that they would like to start doing a discovery Bible
study with Keegan and Daniel, a leader Keegan is
training. Evangelism in Sweden is a slow
process, but we are praying that these boys who Keegan has
hung out with for the past year will one day come home! Pray
as Keegan and Daniel continue to be present in their
lives, ask questions, and guide them in meeting Jesus.

 On the last day of
camp, the teens have a choice to attend a New Believers's Walk for those who have felt called
to take a new step with Christ, a Question and Answers time or a Grow
with God time for those who already are in relationship with
Christ. Daniel, pictured above, and Natalia went on the New
Believer's Walk. Pray for wisdom for us as we challenge
these teens as they begin this new journey with Christ.

Sara, above, is a school friend of
on one of the girl's who came to camp. At camp, I had the
privilege of getting to know her better. As we sat and
talked in a one-on-one, I learned that Sara had never heard the
Gospel before. This week was a brand new experience for her,
she wrote in her evaluation, "It was interesting to
listen to Kent (the speaker) and get new insights, especially since
I am not a Christian, just yet." Pray that I will find
ways to get to know her better now that camp is over and that her "just yet" will change.
