Well another week has gone by at camp and the Lord worked in amazing ways. He showed himself powerful when I felt oh so overwhelmed and exhausted. On the last morning of camp, I was exhausted, little sleep and a lot of activity was wearing off on me. I cried out to the Lord saying, "God, I am not getting through to these girls! How can I make a difference?" Well. He was working far more than I ever was. And boy did he show me. We were doing cabin devotions when one girl asked me how someone would ask Jesus into their heart. That got all of their attention. I then explained to them that first they had to realize that they are sinners and they cannot get to heaven on their own, then they need to believe that Jesus paid the price for them and then make the choice to follow him with their life. This time, something broke. Each and every girl in the cabin accepted Jesus into their life. All 7 of them! The cabin was then filled with laughter, huge smiles and a big group hug. We are now all sisters. After that I got the opportunity to share with them about what it means to follow Jesus forever. If you could join with me in praying that these seeds fell on fertile soil and they will continue to grow and hunger to learn more about this amazing God we serve that would be super. The Lord really taught me that he is strong even when I am weak. If I am giving my all for Him, he will do amazing things in the lives of those I am trying to reach.
Another answer to prayer happened today. My family and friends pulled together and made the garage sale happen. It was a huge success! We managed to raise just over $1000! And more is still coming! The Lord provides. I also found out that because of my Visa, I can leave as soon as my support is raised. So, I may be able to leave on the date that I have been shooting for: mid-september. God is good.
Thankyou for your prayer.
