Interim Worship Lead II Tori


Praying for Tori as she juggles
Multiple Tasks... 
College / Worship Lead / Christmas Service



She is the quintessential artist
mastering the arts of drawing, drama, speech, vocals, musician, acting, etc...
She has a remarkable gift, and is testing her abilities on multiple fronts.
While trying to finish her A.A. through Superior Community College, 
she was recently hired as the Interim Worship Lead at our home church.
Faithbridge Church is in transition with our leadership team.



The Lead Pastor position has been vacant for nearly 3 years, and 
we are nearing it's position being filled. The Worship Coordinator (Aaron Bradt), 
will be stepping down at the end of the month to follow God's Lead outside the vocation
of Faithbridge.  We are both grieving and grateful for the Bradt family. 
Aaron picked up the baton from Anna years ago and has advanced the Worship Team
into next generation viability... He brought another level of excellence
 both to the competency of musicians and the tech support.
Tori will be the Interim Coordinator (a position that was founded by her mother
a couple decades ago = Anna started contemporary worship @ Faithbridge).
appreciate your prayers as she fills some pretty large shoes.
... and again pray for the Bradts as they navigate the season of transition ahead.

Holiday Sabbatical



Are you a Snowbird? or maybe coming into a different season in your life? Do you have exercise equipment around that feels lonely? I may be able to assist you. I am looking for a treadmill, stationary bike, etc to baby sit this winter. Please contact Phil or Anna, if you would like us to keep the dust off your equipment this winter... seriously I am looking for some equipment, if it is not too  old and you wouldn't mind me putting some miles on it through the off season - I would be obliged. Actually: I'm trying to put together a health plan (rather than a sick plan) and getting my cardio back on track is a major part of that. Let me know if you have any interest... 🏃‍♂️🚵‍♂️ 
(feel free to DM/PM me) 😉

[Shout-Out to The Munson Fam]
Hooking me up with a treadmill!

Holiday Sabbatical-making my New Years Resolution early... 
I'm Doctoring in Duluth Wisconsin / Fargo North Dakota weekly. 
Specialist are working on my neck & trying to
Give me a Reset over the Holidays.
Part of the Prayer for Healing - is Phil establishing some new patterns of 
diet / exercise / rest & work.


Thanks for your ongoing prayer & support.
Soooo grateful for a church family and student ministry staff
carrying the extra load thru the Holidays!

...You've Never Failed Me Yet

New X-Rays
Reveal that the source of Phil's 
Chronic Migraines/Neck problems are
#bonespurs from past injuries,
plus arthritis type of damage,
and added pressure on nerves etc...
Basically he has a 65 year old neck.

Listen to Piper's spoken word

...and I never will forget

praying for healing...

It has taken 3 years to close in on a diagnoses
Degenerative neck issues...
In hindsight, Phil can pinpoint 4 or 5 incidents 
That have aged his neck. Though dismissed & forgotten,
 these incidents over the years, 
have taken their toll.
I guess he's blessed To still be alive... 

The accumulative effect has been been disheartening to say the least...
 I had no idea the damage that I was doing to myself ~ Phil
* Football History helmet-to-helmet hits
* Downhill ski/snowboard fails
* Head-On Car collision 
by someone under the influence
* Shallow Swimming/Diving Accident
Having his bell rang all those times...
"I'm not as invincible as I once thought."

I'm pondering about the accumulative effects
Of my sin nature/pattern... 
it too has rung my bell,
And I am not as invincible as I think.
...but by the grace of God - Go - I...

He Gives & Takes Away

Treatment for Unidentifiable Influenza [not H1N1] (Sept)
Treatment for walking pneumonia/bronchitis (Aug)
Treatment for Migraines/bone spurs (July)

THE STRUGGLE IS REAL
So... often we only see 
the polished best versions of our life,
As though filtered through the ideal.
Truth is. Life is Hard, and
there are multiple fronts that we Battle
almost on a daily basis.

a Pool full of Sweat Tea? Now that would be tasty,
or it is a Pool full of  Rusty Water - I GIVE UP!!!

For me (Phil) Physically= I've been set back
For nearly 3 years now.
I have a pretty high pain threshold, 
but I've come to the end of myself weekly.
I've been doctoring Chronic Migraines 
from one experiment after another, 
still there is no end in sight.
Emotionally, Spiritually, Psychologically =
I CONFESS relationships / expectations /
entitlement / pride / lust are weekly wars.
Though I find incredible victory in Jesus,
The battle leaves me wounded & scarred.
Don't misread me, I'm NOT hopeless, 
But in seasons of weariness
 I long for Sabbath/Rest/Eternal Home

AND SO, IM TESTED...
And the test comes down to, 
Do I believe, do I trust that 
God has my good in mind,
Even when life is really really really hard?

Ugh, the work is daunting, 
like prepping for winter.

When we feel like we are living in 
the biblical persona of Job, 
the test and temptation is
to second guess God...

May I / May we say & trust
"That he gives & takes away,
Blessed be the name of the Lord"

Though we don't understand 
God's purposes in the test,
I'm resolved to Trust Him,
Knowing His ways are best.
"though He Slay me, 
yet will I Trust in Him,
(Hope in) Him," ~ Job 13:15
and I (Phil) wish not to defend my ways before him...

Israel 20/20 Itinerary


"Come & See"
Holy Land Tour
Fall - during the Feast of Tabernacles
Israel 2020

Covid-19 Delay*

It would be a wonderful dream come true for me to not only teach in the Holy Land, but to travel there with friends/family and experience the latest in archaeological finds and traditional historical sites together.  The fellowship, the awe and wonder, the illumination of God's Word brought forth in its original context and the evening chats over dinner are really a taste of Heaven here on earth.  It's quite incredible. ~ Chris Campbell ~



Invitation from my eldest brother Chris Campbell
Co-Leading with Y'Alla Tours and Larry Bell 
(Walk Thru the Bible).

If you wish to be a prayer sponsor, 
&/or invest in the Holy Land Tour,
contact the Campbells asap.

Tentative Schedule...

 

Praying that God Provides in a miraculous way so that 
He may get the Glory for our Story...
the general cost is $5,500


thanks you for your prayers and on-going support...
especially with the
Covid-19 Delay

Wow, Pinch Myself, was I day dreaming?
Nope, I really was surrounded by

Bush Planes flying overhead,
and valleys etched out by glacier melt.
Alaska '19 was the backdrop
to an Amazing mission trip for
Faith Student Ministry (FSMwired).
