Today we were privileged to share with 40 or 50 youth from the Baptist church we attend when we're here in town. They are preparing for summer missions activities next week. We were asked to share about how we were called into missions. To do so, we shared some background on how we came to know Jesus, how we met, and how we came to the point we're at now. There was quite a stirring among the teens when we mentioned that we met doing summer missions! Afterwards we were invited to stay for lunch. They are spending the week at a home in the country ("camping out" wouldn't be the right phrase ...more like having a sleep over at a house that also happens to have pigs and sheep and dogs outside). The open setting gave opportunity for Anders to get his bald head sunburnt while playing a friendly game of soccer. It was girls versus guys...except Anders was asked to play for the girls team. Before you get laughing too hard, there were a couple other guys who joined the cause! Meanwhile, Adrielle and Boden were overly doted upon and enjoyed leading the big kids in a few rounds of Simon Says and hide-and-seek. It was all fun and we pray the Lord motivates other young lives to live for eternal ends!
After looking at these pictures, you might take a moment to pray for these young folks as they spread out to share about Jesus next week. They will split up and go in smaller groups to five different locations. There they will spend the whole week doing various forms of outreach, service and evangelism. Anders will be joining one group for the day next Thursday (1/14/2010). May the Lord use their faithfulness and may He spark something in some of those hearts to be the harvesters Jesus asked us to pray for! (see Luke 10:2)
