What a powerful week we had at camp! Some of the most special times for me were praying over the students in my group, encouraging them in their pursuit of God and watching their faces and hearts come alive as he moved in them over the course of the week. It’s really such an incredible privilege to be able to witness God at work in the lives of people who are desperate and hungry for him. One student said he had really been struggling over the past year with anger and depression, but one evening during service God really met him in a powerful way through the message, to the point where he said he felt as free as he can remember in a very long time. You could visibly see the peace and relief on his face as he was just filled with the joy of knowing he’s fully loved by God.
While I’ll miss all of the stories like this from the past week, one thing I will not miss is the weather: at one point during one of our rec times, my phone said it felt like 118 degrees outside! I don’t think that will be the case next week in Durango, where the high the first day we’re there is forecast to be a gorgeous 68 degrees. Stay tuned…
