anticipating letfest

Tough being in another country for the fourth pf July so in stead of boating and fireworks- we sang the national anthem at breakfast and mostly celebrated by naps to recover from jet lag along with much of the preperation that is going into letfest. The 4th of July was another great day as we had our first meeting with the youth group in which it was so refreshing to see old friends after a couple years apart. That evening we were challenged by a story of Jesus healing a leper from Luke 5 and how many things can be found in this passage regarding the obedience of the healed and the compassion Jesus has on this man. There is so much richness to be taken from this passage that can be applied to our team about what we ask for and what we do with what we are givn'. Tomorrow is the start of letfest. Months of work come down to tomorrow and I am excited to see many come and see what there is to draw this community. My prayer for this is that they will all see the love of God by how we have love for each other. Tonight was a night to get focused on the purpose of all the activities, games, events, classes and seminars which is to declare His excellencies(1 Peter 2:9) and show the love of God we have found in Christ Jesus. Pray for health, energy for the next week and spiritual sharpness for our team in the Name of Jesus.
