Highway Won July 2010 Update

“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” (John 8:32)

Happy summer from Highway Won Christian Store in beautiful Cambria CA! In July we celebrate our nation’s freedom, and it seems that when Independence Day hits we have truly reached the heart of summer. In remembering our country’s freedom, we as Christians are reminded of that there is a greater freedom in Jesus that He alone can bring. In a sense we made with Him a declaration of independence from self and this world, but dependence on Him and all that He did for us to bring us into a living relationship with God. Whatever you do this summer, especially this Independence Day, from the mountains, to the prairies, or as in our case, to the oceans white with foam, remember all that God did to bless you and our nation, and make a renewed declaration of dependence on Him! Enjoy!

So What’s New?

June was a busy month for our family with our daughter Adrianna graduating from high school, having family here, our Highway Won Third Anniversary Celebration, our church’s Vacation Bible School, Kary undergoing training for her part time job, etc. Business has been picking up now that everyone is out of school, beginning their summer routines, and people are vacationing here in Cambria once again. We had an especially great time celebrating our Third Anniversary. We had a lot of people come into the store, taking advantage of our big sale and give away of books, Bibles, and Christian products of various types. We also are getting a lot of visitors in the store from all over the United States and other countries, which is a blessing, plus we are getting a lot of repeat customers that visit the Cambria area from time to time. It is such a blessing to hear their thanks for still being here in an era in which many Christian stores are going out of business. We are especially thankful for all of our local customers who faithfully support and pray for our store and ministry to those who come into Highway Won! It is great to be able to be a witness to and impact the lives of people from all over the place, or to encourage believers who are here and find a spiritual refuge in the storm of the mish-mash of mindsets that this little town tries to offer.

Right now we are trying to get restocked and rolling for the full summer season. We are unable to attend the Christian Booksellers Association big convention again this year, but we continue to meet with and talk to vendors and distributors, many of whom will still offer us the same deals that they offer there. We are on the lookout for the best quality Christian books, music, materials and products to help you as our customers to benefit and get the biggest “bang for your buck” so to speak. We are excited as we enter our fourth year of service here in the area. Please come by and see us this summer if at all possible! We also will begin our summer music sale as of July 5th in which you can save 10% off of your favorite Christian CDs. This also would apply to any that you order that are not in stock in our store at the moment.

May God richly bless your summer, and let His name be praised from sea to shining sea! Don’t forget to follow our adventures on Face book (look under “Thomas Klock”). See you soon.

“May he also rule from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.”
Psalm 72:8, NASB
