This is Only the Beginning!

Praise God, for He is on the move! Christy and I are here at Baptist Park Camp, and it is our first week of ministry. The theme has been "Who Am I?", and the speaker definitely has an anointing from God to speak this message. Last night he talked about the fact that we are children of God, and it was just a beautiful reminder of how much God loves us and looks at us with so much passion as any father would for His child. How amazing it is that we can call Him Daddy! When I cry He is there comforting me and holding me.
Before we settled down to go to bed, we watched "the End of the Spear" with our campers and what a powerful message it had. This man named Nate gave his life to reach the people in Ecuador because their culture had been so ingrained in killing each other with spears. As he went down to reach them, they speared him to death, but he gave his life any way because it was his life for the sake of he Gospel. He said, "they are not yet ready for Heaven, and we are." When the movie was over I went and sat on the playground in the dark and waited for God. Then rain began to pour down, Christy joined me and we just sat quietly in the presence of God as the rain soaked our clothes and dripped on my face, my hair and my lips. We sangs praises to God and just had an amazingly deep connection with Him. This is only the beginning of the week and He is moving. Our campers are coming out of their shells and laughing and I just believe that by the end of this week God will have changed their lives. Please pray that the Spirit of God falls heavy on each heart. This is only the beginning!
