1 down. 1 to go!

One week that is! Yes, this is my busiest time of the year, but also the most rewarding. We just finished our week of Vacation Bible School for our "youngins." It is a fantastic week, with high energy and passion for Jesus. We learn Bible verses, do crafts, play games, swim, and rock out with the band "Captive Free." They are a part of an organization called "Youth Encounter" and are always a featured addition to our VBS exprience. Check them out at youthencounter.org. They always do a great job of creating the enthusiasm in our kids. We now have many kids coming back to help when they get older. It's great to see that their experience leads them to want to give back. Even through college, they come because they love to be at VBS. I love that, and I hope that always will be the case.
The next week is our Sr. High mission trip to Brooklyn, NY. 18 of us will be traveling in 2 vans and driving in the middle of the night to get there. This will be a powerful week for our youth and I am excited for them. Please pray for our safety as we travel (that 3 drivers will stay awake!), and that the Holy Spirit would be so powerful that our kids would come back energized to always be Christ's hands and feet.
I'll try to blog every day while on the trip. Talk to you soon. Amen.
