January at Camp Berea

By Rachel VanDuzerFebruary 2, 2021February 5, 2021 Categories: Life, Updates

Thank you for your prayers while we were at Camp Berea! We were able to serve there for a little more than 3 weeks. David fixed the heating systems in several of the cabins, repaired the chair dollies (to move the chairs) and fixed several of the table games to get them ready for use…

When A Plan Comes Together

By David VanDuzerDecember 23, 2020December 26, 2020 Categories: Life, Updates

When a Plan Comes Together Shortly after we were married and not quite sure where we wanted to “settle down”, I suggested to Rachel that we could live in an Airstream travel trailer. Thinking all Airstreams were old, run down and in need of major renovations, she gave a strong look of disapproval. Fast forward…

Giving Thanks from Greenwood Hills!

By David VanDuzerNovember 30, 2020November 30, 2020 Categories: Life, Updates

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances;  for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18     As we celebrated Thanksgiving this week, we were reminded that there is much to be grateful for!  We’re thankful: – That God has provided the time and resources to be able to complete the majority of…

Summer & Fall at Camp Berea

By David VanDuzerOctober 1, 2020November 30, 2020 Categories: Updates

Camp Berea was very appreciative of our help this summer and fall. We were able to be a blessing to them in the midst of a uniquely difficult year in their 75-year history and in turn we were encouraged by this amazing ministry. It was exciting to see how God used the place for His glory…

Holding Pattern

By David VanDuzerMay 29, 2020June 8, 2020 Categories: Life

My flight to Chicago years ago was delayed but we finally got in the air. Eventually, we arrived above the airport and started doing circles. There were thunderstorms passing through the area below and we couldn’t land safely. We were in a holding pattern playing ring-around-the-rosie with about 10 other planes full of equally frustrated…

The Lord Establishes Our Steps

By Rachel VanDuzerMarch 10, 2020June 8, 2020 Categories: Updates Leave a comment

“The heart of a man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” – Proverbs 16:9 When God moved us on from our ministry in France, He gave us a vision to serve Christian ministries in North America with practical needs while living in a travel trailer. This has been the plan, but here are a…

2019: A Year of Uprooting & Replanting

By Rachel VanDuzerDecember 19, 2019December 19, 2019 Categories: Updates Leave a comment

As you may know, our ministry among international university students In Grenoble, France ended with the school year in June and we spent July through September serving at Pierres Vivantes/Entrepierres (a Christian retreat center in the south of France) before moving back to Pennsylvania at the end of September. It has been good to be…

Hiking to Italy

By Rachel VanDuzerMay 7, 2015May 26, 2020 Categories: Life

There are 5 national holidays in France during the month of May. In theory, that means lots of long weekends and days to explore. However, most of our days are still spent going about normal life, gardening and fixing things around the house. Last weekend we had an absolutely gorgeous day, so we decided to take…

You Do Not Have The Priority

By David VanDuzerJanuary 26, 2015May 26, 2020 Categories: Life

With a Frenchman hot on my tail, I approach yet another traffic circle and flip my left turn signal on even though I am about to make an obvious right turn into the multi-lane whirlwind of traffic already whipping around inside. I successfully get in the circle and make my way towards the exit on…
