Last night I talked with the kids here about not giving up when things get tough in life. I also talked about how we often make decisions that lead us away from a place of God’s presence in our lives. It went very well and kids responded well to the challenge I gave them at the end. I am going to post the lesson/talk here so you can check it out if you want.

Please pray for our trip next week. Things are coming together very well. I have been getting all the necessary supplies and camping stuff we need. Because of your generous scholarship support I am able to have several kids come that were not able to afford the full price. THANKS!!!! It is truly a blessing to have you all behind me.

Also, pray for Maggie and the new baby. Pray that the baby will not come until AFTER I get back from the trip. I will be in sub-par cell phone service areas while camping so if things happen to progress quickly I may not be able to answer my phone right away and find out what’s going on. I am planning on driving my own car up there so I can have the flexibility to leave right away if I get “the call”.

Thanks again for all your prayers, scholarships, and support. I would not be here without you all. “Fight the fight. Keep the faith. Finish the race.”
