I am home!
Well home is relative I guess! I am back in Arizona for now! I just returned from the two-week whirlwind of a trip with the high school youth group from Red Mountain Community Church. What a great trip is was too!
God was working so obviously throughout the whole trip! I am so amazed by his Grace and his willingness to work through us to do his work! And that he did!
We ran a weeklong English camp in a small town out side of Riga called Usma. Most of the kids that went to the camp were from Riga though. We put on this camp for a church in Riga who is trying to start a youth program in Riga. It was a great camp. We only had about 20 students attend this camp, which is much less than we are used to, yet after it was over I was very happy that God sent that number to us! It was a beautiful time of building amazing relationships with amazing kids who are very interested in a life with Jesus Christ! It was go go go the whole time, yet not once did I feel overly tired or exhausted. This was Christ in me for sure. I averaged about 4 hours of sleep a night for over 8 days straight and I felt more alive, more ready for the day than I have when I have had plenty of rest and sleep! It was truly inspiring to sense the presence of Christ filling my mind body and soul to complete His work! And his work is summed up in one word LOVE!!!! And that is what we did!
If anything was accomplished this trip it was that the Love of Christ himself was manifested in us and flowing out of us right into the hearts of these kids! It was a beautiful sight to see!
So that’s it! If you want to know more sign up for my newsletter (to the right) and I will be sending out an update letter very soon!
Thanks for all your love, support and prayer! It was evident that someone was praying during this time, and for that the kingdom of God has grown! God bless!
