Dear Friends,
On Friday morning at deaf camp one of the teens who had gotten saved the night before, brought a church counselor to me and said that the counselor needed to be saved. This young man was a church counselor because he was too old to be at camp as a camper; not because he was a regular church goer.

I told him I had been praying for him (because I was pretty sure he was not saved). We talked a minute before sitting down and going through the Gospel again. He accepted the Lord as his Savior that Friday morning!

In all, we had 22 who were saved in deaf camp this summer!

BIO Enrichment Week
In the middle of the camp summer, we also had our missionary Enrichment Week at the mission board office. We had 20 BIO missionaries in attendance along with several guest speakers. It was a great time of training and fellowship.

Bolivia 2026
Stephanie and I will leave for Bolivia in March for 3 months to help start a deaf ministry in the city of Tarija. This extended trip will require some extra funds for lodging and expenses while we are there. Our housing will cost about $1800 and plane tickets will be $3000. If you would like to help offset this, you can send a donation to BIO with a memo that it is for the Peach Bolivia Trip.

We are thankful for $600 that has already been given to this need.

BIO Anniversary
Our mission board is celebrating its 40th anniversary at our annual Fall Meeting. This year it will be held in Pigeon Forge and is open to anyone who would like to celebrate with us. The dates are November 3-5. We would love to see you there.

You can get more information and register for the event at BIOmeetings.org.

Thank you for being a part of our ministry!
