We made it down to Oakbridge safe and sound on Sunday. The last few days have been full of planning and meetings. Campers arrived today about 5 hours ago and it's great to have the campus flooded with energy and excited middle schoolers. There truly is something amazing about spending time on assignment at a Young Life camp. I found myself grateful for this opportunity.
Chris's first talk is tonight in about 1 hour. Naturally nerves are racing high for him but I keep telling him that he is made for this. It's humbling and reassuming to know that out of all the staff folks in the US, God hand chose him to be the speaker for the month this week. He is going to be used in mighty ways. I ask you to join with me in praying for my husband. Pray for God confidence, boldness in his words and for him to be filled with the Spirit. Please pray too for the camp and all the middle school kids here. May their hearts be open and their eyes ready to see the Lord in a new way.
I came across a verse in Zechariah (random I know). It's Zechariah 4:6, "'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit' says the Lord Almighty." That is my prayer for Chris. May it be all the Holy Spirit.
I'll keep you posted.
