Gulf Region has secured a discounted room rate of $67 per night for the dates of the Regional Seminar.  This hotel provides a hot breakfast, indoor pool, hot tub, business services, and a microwave and refrigerator in every room.  Just mention "Royal Rangers" when you make your reservation (by January 15, 2012) to receive the discounted rate.  After January 15, the price will go back up to the normal room rate of $85 per night.  Incidentally, we have checked out several hotels and this was, by far, the nicest one in the area in this price range.

2011 Gulf Region
Pathfinder Trip Report

Gulf Region Royal Rangers sponsored a Pathfinder Missions Trip to the country of Iceland on June 13-24.  Fifteen (15) team members (plus an additional four team members from the Evangel A/G team) from 3 States participated in the trip.  We had a construction team that worked on Iceland's Pentecostal Conference Center.  Projects included  hanging sheetrock, building walls, building a new entryway into the building, installing a new walk-in freezer, and much much more.  Thanks to D.J. Hall, Mike King, and the rest of the construction team for the amazing work they did on the building!

There was also an outreach team of older boys that participated in sports outreach in two villages, provided day camp activities for children, ministered in local churches, and ministered at the 90th anniversary celebration of the Pentecostal movement in the country of Iceland.  The celebration was held in the Westman Islands off the south coast of Iceland.  The presence and power of God was unmistakeable in every service and the Lord touched each of our lives, as well as the lives of the Icelandic people.

Just as a word of testimony:  the power of God was displayed in so many ways on this trip that it is almost impossible to put into words.  There were multiple dramatic healings, miraculous occurences that only God could have orchestrated, salvations, and more.  Sometime, I'll have to share the "sheep story," an amazing story of God's relentless pursuit of the lost!

I would like to say a special thank you to those of you who donated to the Gulf Region Pathfinder Scholarship Fund.  This allowed several boys to participate in this trip and experience the power of God in some really unique ways.  I would also like to thank Mike King, D.J. Hall, Bill Penniston, and the rest of the team, as well as missionaries Mike and Sheila Fitzgerald, Trostur Sigfusson, and so many of our special Icelandic friends for your labor of love.  We love and appreciate you all and look forward to ministering with you again!!!
