Thanks for praying yesterday!  I have yet to see in my times here such an encouraging first day of evangelism.  Everyone really pressed in and pursued conversations. 

Last night after we ate, we met as a team and it was fun to hear numerous stories of conversations that went well. Each day there are also a handful of students/leaders that stay back to fast and pray…it was also fun to hear how that experience went for them.  God is evidently leading and we are grateful for that. 

Last nights session was all about having courageous faith (Acts 1-5)…it was great.  Everyone remains healthy and I think a bit more rested today.  The food is great…that’s always a plus.  It’s been a little cool here…lower 70’s I think.  As we near the 4^th of July the beaches will continue to fill with people so that will be good for us. 

Today’s prayer request: I’ve heard numerous students look back at OGN and identify a life altering moment(s).  Let’s pray today that each student would have one of those this week…that God’s word and the power of the Holy Spirit would speak mightily to them.

We made it!

It was a great trip down, no delays, no problems.  This is a great group of students!  Yesterday upon arriving we went to the beach for an hour or so before registering at the campus.  We checked in at 3:30…the rooms are great…the ocean is very close!  God’s creation shines very brightly here!  After checking in we went for dinner and then back for the evening session. It was a great first day.  Ed spoke last night from Philippians 3…the students love him. 

This morning it was breakfast at 7:00, time alone with God and now it’s off to training in preparation for the afternoon of sharing. The students are doing well…God has definitely blessed us already on this trip and we look forward to what is to come.  This afternoon will be sharing till 4:30, then dinner, some team time, a session, and lights out. 

Prayer request: As students go out this afternoon for the first time, pray that we would have courage and a passion to share Jesus.  Have a great day and thanks for praying!
