Being away at camp for the past 2 weeks was a wonderful experience! I enjoyed hanging with some of our students in a completely different setting and at time quite close quarters :) We all had a great time of fellowship, fun and hopefully some spiritual growth. I also enjoyed meeting new friends and connecting with other youth pastors and leaders. I'm sure that the Lord is going to use all that took place over those 2 weeks in a marvelous way in all of our lives.
However, while I was away I found that I truly missed our weekly gatherings and Sunday school times. I missed seeing all our students and interacting with them in their own corner of the world. I appreciate all of our students and how each one of them makes the ministry here special and touches me in a unique and passionate way. Even though our weekly activities can soon become routine, there never ceases to be a moment when I feel God is near. He is using us to be a part of His Kingdom work and building and for that I am most candidly grateful!
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I deeply love my church, my staff and the ministry God has given us here. Most of all, I love our students! They are the church, the ministry, the next generation and the ones for whom Christ poured out His life. Thus, I want to pour mine out to them as well.
For His Kingdom...
