It is 12pm and I have to write this to you all. Bambi has been talking to me about one of the themes that she has been praying and fasting for is that these students would find freedom. Tonight it happened! It happened in powerful way tonight (almost too much to write). But I had a "debriefing meeting tonight with our youth group and 2 other youth groups and I asked the question "How is God moving in your life this week?". I am going to highlight one response from Justin Brown tonight. He said that a few months before this trip there were a lot of things that were holding him back from following Jesus and said that on this trip, he has found freedom. I stopped him and shared that is what people in our church are praying for. Then I asked how many were experiencing the same thing this week (freedom from something)? Out of 24 people, 22 raised their hand! 22 people raised their hands (just wanted to say it again to make sure you read it correctly).
It was amazing! One last quote from a student from OUR CHURCH "I have never felt closer to God than I have felt tonight" saying that with tears in his eyes.
So much more but need some serious sleep. Really church, get ready for some changed lives when we return...
Pray to, I can't emphasise that enough!

Dear Joel: Thanks for the updates on the conference. I am filled with JOY at the mere thought of God working so powerfully in Justin's life (and the other kids of course). What a blessing for all of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving of yourself into the lives of our kids. Blessings. Joyce
