At ten thirty tomorrow morning, my baby brother will be getting on a plane. He will not fly back for over forty days. All that we will hear from him is a letter every ten days, and a daily email equipped with GPS tracking.
Why, you ask?
He is headed off to something that many boys would dream of. He will be taking part in SROM....solid rock outdoor ministry. Pretty much that means he will be in the wilderness for forty days (yes forty!!) and forty nights. They will do some extreme stuff, and spend alot of time growing closer to the Lord!
I am SOOO excited for him, and so glad he had this opportunity. There is a very specific 40 day prayer log that we will get to pray while he is gone. I am just so proud of the Godly young man he is becoming!
[Ok...I have to stop this post now before I get too sappy.] I will def. keep you updated on his journeys, and I ask you to keep his safety in your prayers!

Changed Hearts
I am exhausted.
But I would do it all over again tomorrow.
The smiles on their faces, the joy in their eyes, the sweet words coming from their mouths.
Most of all, the changed hearts.
FIFTEEN new Christians. FIFTEEN lives forever touched. And numerous more who are getting closer to realizing HIS truths.
And what excites me the most is knowing none of that was me. It was all because of our BIG God!
What a privilege that He would allow me to be apart of something so great.

Prayin it up!
WOW! Day 1 of VBS was incredible! 117 kids came out for our first day! I am so excited to see what God has in store for this week.
I just wanted to hop on here and ask that you all be praying for a few things for VBS:
*Pray for each child, that their lives will be changed. Pray for their salvation. Pray for hearts and minds to be opened.
*Pray for the families of each of these children. Pray that they will be willing to bring them, and that the message the children are learning will find its way back to their families.
*Pray for Wednesday, as the gospel will be heavily presented. Also pray for Friday, when parents will hear the gospel.
*Pray for the volunteers. We have 40 four year olds in one class, and 32 1st-2nd graders! Those are some amazing teachers! Pray that they will have strength and patience, and that Christ will work through them each day!
Thanks so much for joining me in prayer! I'll try and keep you updated on how its going!
