Peniel Bible Camp and Ohio Bible Mission Announce New Facilities Manager


Dear Friends of the Ohio Bible Mission and the Ohio Bible Fellowship,

Please see the attached letter (text below) announcing the new Facilities Manager of Peniel Bible Camp.  Thank you for your prayers and concern as we were searching for the Lord's choice for this position.

Members and friends of the Ohio Bible Fellowship,

The Board of the Ohio Bible Mission is pleased to announce the Lord’s provision of Mr. Nathan Fry to serve as Facility Manager of Peniel Bible Camp. Nathan and Nikki Fry along with their daughter, Tabatha, plan to move to camp and assume this new ministry for the Lord by April 1, 2012.

Nathan has significant experience in the construction and mechanical trades having worked with his father in construction and remodeling for over 10 years. He also studied carpentry for a year at the Bob Jones University School of Applied Studies. He also has a personal interest in “tinkering” with old tractors.

Nathan and Nikki have been very active in the ministry of Grace Bible Church in West Middletown, PA, where Steve Spence serves as Pastor. They have been regular attenders of the Couples’ Retreat at Peniel. Last summer Nathan served as a Teen 2 counselor and Tabatha served in the kitchen. Nathan’s expertise was very much appreciated earlier in the year as he worked to frame new rooms in the A-frame cabin for the VanderSchels.

We know you will enjoy getting to know the Frys and ask your prayers and support for them as they transition to this new calling. Pray also for the Lord's provision of support that will be needed for them to fulfill this ministry. Please contact them or mission@obf.net if you are interested in helping financially.

You are encouraged to become their friends on Facebook or send them words of encouragement at nnfry@verizon.net.

For His glory,

Donald Gallion
President
Ohio Bible Mission
