Dear Praying Friends,

Thank you for your continued prayers and financial assistance. Jane's foot is continuing to heal. She can put weight on her foot, but she is still in her cast. Her ankle (not the incision) swells throughout the day if she is up too long. She will go to yet another orthopedic surgeon while we are in Portland.

In July we ministered in Iowa, Kansas, and California. First, Caleb and I ministered alongside a ministry team from Minnesota at Bethel Baptist Church in Britt, Iowa. These young people exhibited a spirit of true servanthood. Next, we were able to serve at Olivet Baptist Church in Westwood, Kansas. After many weeks of elevating her foot and bedrest, Jane was able to help teach the memory verses. She rested her cast on a student's desk while teaching. Before leaving for California, on Sunday, July 18, I spoke at Faith Baptist Church in the Kansas City area.

When we arrived in California, I spoke for a Saturday Vacation Bible School in Santa Monica with Pastor Russ Boone. Although there were no decisions, many unbelievers visited and heard the message of Christ's free salvation. Some of the visitors were practicing Jews; and others who called themselves "pagans." Praise the Lord for the ongoing outreach into these people's lives.

Then from July 25 – August 13, we served at Victory Ranch in Moreno Valley, California. Throughout the weeks, many made decisions: some were saved; around 25 decided to talk to their pastors about baptism when they return home; and others made decisions regarding Christian living. Praise the Lord that he enables and allows us the privilege of proclaiming His truth through the avenue of camp.

This week we ministered at First Baptist Church in Pinole, California. It was been a joy throughout the years to minister here. Praise the Lord several children have made professions of faith. While here a young lady reminded me that --- years ago when I spoke here for revival meetings she accepted the Lord as her Savior. Praise the Lord she will be a freshman at Bible college this month.

While in Pinole, we celebrated Caleb's 14th birthday with Jane's brother Jeff and his family.

Seeking souls for eternity,

The Silcotts

Please pray for Pastor Bill and Jan Paton. Because of health problems after our VBS in June, they moved to Missouri. While they were moving, Bill's health worsened and he spent many weeks in the hospital. But, God has spared his life. Please pray that Bill's health will be restored.

Praise on the trail. . . While traveling to Victory Ranch, we had a tire blow out. It damaged the trailer. We are deciding where to have the work done on the body of the trailer. Praise the Lord most of this expense should be covered by our insurance. While we were at Victory Ranch, the air conditioning in the truck stopped working again. Praise the Lord the camp generously covered this large expense. The mechanics shop noticed an "exhaust" leak and recommended that we have it looked at. This week Bobby Swayze and I look into it and discovered instead a leak in the antifreeze tank and a clogged air filter. We praise the Lord for knowledge he has given Bobby and his willingness to help us. With time, epoxy, and a new elbow the leak is fixed.
