Welcome!

The last two weeks of our traveling year were busy for the Galkin team! After our meetings in Charlotte, we headed north to Mackinaw City, MI, for a week of meetings with Pastor Reid Nelson at Mackinaw City Bible Church. From the beginning, we enjoyed sharing in the blessings of preaching and fellowship with the church family. Through the different nights with emphasis such as Mother's Night and Servicemen Appreciation Night, we were able to see many visitors come to hear the Gospel, and several were saved! Josh, Caroline, and Reba enjoyed working with the four teen girls in the youth group, and rejoiced when a teen visitor received Christ as his Savior on Friday night. As this week was our last full week of meetings, we enjoyed a special time as a team on Mackinaw Island. The kids and adults alike enjoyed the butterfly house, carriage ride, food, and ferry trip on Friday morning!

The next (and final) week took us to Calvary Baptist Church in Gaines, MI with Pastor Louis Canady. Although the week was short, we thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with the sweet people at Calvary. Working hard throughout the week, we were able to see many teen visitors out for the Cola War, and the Irish Concert night attendance was double previous nights--a packed house to hear the music and a Gospel message! Several people were saved that night, and we were thankful for how the Lord worked in many hearts throughout the week. As a special part of the week, we were able to take part in the Galkin Team Recital, complete with music performed by almost all the team members, Scripture memory recitation, and other accomplishments by the team kids. The team parted ways early Thursday morning, to be reunited again at Northland Camp in Dunbar, WI this week.

We are thankful for the full year of ministry that the Lord gave to us, and count it as a gift from Him! This summer, the whole team will be working at Northland Camp in various positions. We are thankful to be able to spend the summer as a team, and will continue to update you, our prayer partners, throughout the summer.
