Welcome to our new blog!

This will be the space where you can see what is going on with the DuMont's as we serve God at Shiloh Bible Camp!

Amanda and I are excited to begin our time as missionaries at Shiloh Bible Camp.  Even though we are still raising support, I've already begun some construction work on Shiloh's new gym.  For those of you who are unaware, Shiloh's new gym has been about 8 years in the making (planning, permits, cutting through red-tape, more permits, etc...)  In conjunction with the local ministry of Servant's Heart, I have been installing duct work, running electrical, and painting.  The actual gymnasium in the new building is at the point where it is functional, but the bathrooms, meeting rooms, game room, wallyball court, and ropes course equipment all still need some time to get finished.  We are hoping that in the next two months this building will be fully functional quite a sight to see at that!

Despite all of the work going on in the gym, Amanda and I are still in a bit of a transition period. Amanda is looking for a full time teaching position for the coming school year (she does have a para-professional aide position locked in if she cannot find a tenure track position) and I am still currently working at the local Sears Hardware store while we continue to raise support.  As our monthly support rises, I will be working fewer days each week at Sears and more days at Shiloh.

We have several financial support goals along our journey.  Each goal will allow us to invest more time into our love of sharing the gospel and working with children at camp. Our first financial support goal will be about $15,000 each year.  When we reach this goal I will be able to leave Sears completely and will be working at Shiloh full time.  Our final goal will be $55,000.  At that amount of support Amanda will be able to leave her job as well and we will be able to start a family.

Please feel free to leave comments, prayer requests, or questions for us here.  Again, we thank you for being a part of our Journey here at Shiloh!
