We've had a busy and eventful fall! Michaella recently completed her internship in Washington, and we've been exploring the Father's Heart of God in our College Bible Study in Lynchburg. Haydee and I also had the opportunity to attend the Beach DTS on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where we were refreshed and rejuvenated. However, before the Beach DTS, I did have to get a root canal - ouch! Looking ahead, we have some exciting developments to share. Michaella has applied for a Fellowship that would cover the cost of her Master's degree, and we're eagerly awaiting the outcome. Lemuel has also booked his ticket to the Philippines, where he'll be starting a Biblical Core Course in Davao in February. After completing the course, he'll be staffing with YWAM Davao for the next three years. This means that this will likely be our last Christmas with all our kids under one roof, so please keep us in your prayers as we prepare for this transition. As we approach the end of the year, we're grateful for your support and would like to ask you to remember us in your year-end giving. Your generosity makes a huge difference in our ability to serve and minister in the coming year. You can give online by clicking here. Thank you for your partnership and prayers. We're grateful for you and look forward to staying in touch. With grateful hearts, Campbell Family

As we are finishing up the calendar year, the school year has just started. For many of us, the fall is a new beginning. With that understanding, here are some prayer points.
1—Michaella is doing an internship in Washington, DC, until November 2. It is a growing experience that is helping her gain a deeper understanding of what God is calling her to do. Pray she will clarify her next steps after graduation and be a light where she is. 2—Pray for YWAM Lynchburg. We have been seeing God move among the students. Last year, we saw students step into overseas mission fields (Indonesia, Nepal, France, etc.) and graduates enter into ministry in the States. Currently, we are mentoring others with a mission mindset as they move into their careers. Pray that God would connect us with students this year so we can continue to impact the Kingdom of God. 3- Pray for YWAM Virginia as we seek God to make changes so we can have a greater impact on this generation. 4- Pray for Lemuel as he prepares to leave for the Philippines next year to join staff with YWAM Davao. Thank you for standing with us in your prayers! Campbell Family Our College Town is Buzzing Again! The students are back, and it’s obvious from the out-of-state plates lining the streets. We’re thrilled to reconnect with the students we’ve built relationships with and can’t wait to see how God moves in the coming school year. But as things ramp up on campus, we’ve also got a few other things on our plates. We also hosted our YWAM Virginia staff gathering in Lynchburg and had the opportunity to pray for some of the college students! (See picture) Exciting News: Haydee Heads to Manila! Next Monday, Haydee will be flying to Manila, Philippines, for the YWAM Together International Conference. This is a significant event as it’s the first international gathering since the passing of YWAM’s founder, Loren Cunningham. Haydee will represent YWAM Virginia, but it’s also a special time to reconnect with dear friends from around the world. Many have asked why we both aren’t going—well, with the school year just kicking off, we feel it’s crucial that I stay back and help set the pace for the season ahead. If you feel led to support Haydee’s travel costs, we would be so grateful. You can give by clicking here. Michaella’s New Adventure! This weekend, Michaella is off to Washington, DC, for an 11-week internship. We’re so proud of her and excited to see what God has in store during this time. Please do pray for her. Meanwhile, Lemuel, Justin, and I will be holding down the fort at home! Lemuel’s Mission Continues Lemuel spent July serving with YWAM Richmond, helping lead their summer teams. Now that he’s back, he’s on the lookout for a job and helping us with YWAM Lynchburg while continuing to raise support for his next mission trip to the Philippines. If you’d like to partner with him, you can do so through his webpage: dhcampbell.org/lemuel. Thank You for Your Faithful Support We are so grateful for each of you who stand with us in prayer and support as we disciple young people and expand the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. We couldn’t do this without you! In Service to the King, Dustin and Haydee Campbell YWAM Lynchburg Please do keep us in your prayers! Prayer Points:

After a few unexpected delays, we're thrilled to announce that we've finally closed on our new home! The process wasn't without its challenges, but we're now settled in and grateful for God's provision every step of the way. We closed on our new house on May 2nd, which just so happened to be the National Day of Prayer! How fitting! A warm and heartfelt thank you goes out to each and every one of you who graciously gave and kept us in your prayers. We couldn't have done it without you!
In other news, Lemuel has returned from his DTS in the Philippines and has been a tremendous help as we've transitioned into our new space. He's gearing up to assist YWAM Richmond with their summer teams in July and is excited about joining the staff at YWAM Davao next year. If you haven't already, we invite you to visit his webpage atdhcampbell.org/lemuel and consider supporting him. Looking ahead, Haydee and I will be traveling to Brazil on June 18th. I've had the privilege of staffing the University of the Nations Masters in Team-Based Communications for the past two years, and we're excited to celebrate the graduation of the current cohort, which is made up of YWAM leaders around the world! Haydee will be lending a hand with hospitality, and we'll be back in the States by June 30th. As we prepare for our upcoming travels, any extra support would be greatly appreciated.

This is a short podcast with Micki, one of the college grads we have been walking with!
We have been doing some traveling. We were in Canada for a board meeting with a new YWAM location, Gather to Go, and Lemuel and I (Dustin) went to Florida for the Eastern North American Leaders Gathering. This week, I will be teaching in the DTS in Richmond. We started this journey of buying a house last March. God has made a way through our Roth IRA, along with some generous donors, to have a down payment. We have moved the closing date twice. Our second closing date was last Friday (April 26). We have not heard anything back from the underwriter. Many times, we underestimate the power of prayer. Can you take a few minutes to pray for us? How you can pray: 1) Pray the Bank will approve our mortgage. We have been waiting to hear from them since last Wednesday. 2) Pray for the DTS in Richmond: I will teach Intercession and Spiritual Warfare. Pray that God will move in power. 3) For Lemuel. Our son Lemuel is back from his DTS in the Philippines. God changed his life. He wants to return and join the YWAM Davao, Philippines staff. Pray for his monthly support. You can sign up for his newsletter and/or support him on his webpage by clicking here Thank you to those who give faithfully. We could not have continued in our calling without you. Thank you for taking the time to pray. We are so grateful to you! Serving the King, Dustin and Haydee Campbell YWAM Lynchburg You heard it right. We are buying a house! About a month ago, in prayer, Haydee felt God telling her it was time to buy a house. She asked for some confirmation, which God provided in short order. Financially, it didn’t make sense to us, but I learned I could use some of our Roth IRA for the down payment. Also, we received a $22,000 gift, which helped us sign on a house! As of now, we close on the house on April 18 if all goes well! God is good! Click to read more Justin, Haydee, and I shortly after Thanksgiving flew to the Philippines and met up with Michaella, who had been there since September. A few days later, I flew to Thailand with Michaella to teach Godly Relationships in Chiang Rai, Thailand, at the YWAM base where we used to live. I even had Michaella teach some of the time (she did great). It was so good to see old friends and meet new ones. After a week in Thailand, we met up with Haydee and Justin in Manila and flew to Davao, the city where we used to live and where Lemuel was doing his Discipleship Training School (DTS)! I taught about Identity, and we spent time with Lemuel. We did a lot of one-on-ones with the staff and met up with old friends. We also had the chance to spend Christmas with Lemuel! Lemuel has graduated from his DTS and will be back on March 28. More about his future later! Click to read more Next April, we have a full month. The first week, I will attend a board meeting in New Brunswick, Canada, for a new YWAM location. The following week, I will staff an online intensive for the U of N Master's program I am a part of. In the third week, I will be in Orlando, FL, for a YWAM leaders’ meeting. In the midst of that, we close on the house on April 18 and will be doing our best to get everything moved.

Next April, we have a full month. The first week, I will attend a board meeting in New Brunswick, Canada, for a new YWAM location. This will be the first time we would meet in person as a board. I am looking forward seeing what God is doing through these young leaders! The second week of April, I will staff an online intensive for the U of N Master's program I am a part of. In the third week of April, I will be in Orlando, FL, for a YWAM leaders’ meeting. In the midst of that, we close on the house on April 18 and will be doing our best to get everything moved. The first week of May I will be in Richmond teaching in their Discipleship Training School on Spiritual Warfare. An extra financial gift would be a huge help during this time.

About a month ago, in prayer, Haydee felt God telling her it was time to buy a house. She asked if it was really from God that two different people would confirm it. Within a week, two people in two different conversations, while discussing something unrelated, stopped what they said and told us that they felt we were to buy a house! That is some confirmation, which God provided in short order. Financially, it didn’t make sense to us. We talked to a friend who was a relator about what God was saying. It looked impossible. But as we were looking for different ways, at one point, he said that this was from God, and He would make a way. I learned later that I could use some of our Roth IRA for the down payment. Also, while I was sharing this as a testimony to a friend, he and his wife prayed and felt they would give us a $22,000 gift, which helped us sign on to the house! As of now, we close on the house on April 18 if all goes well! God is good! It would be a huge help if you could help us with all the moving costs and/or the down payment.
