It's Wednesday morning and we are rocking and rolling here in Estes Park. Yesterday afternoon our students split into teams for a photo scavenger hunt around the campus. Every group got just about every photo off of the list, and several were quite creative with their pictures. Last night at worship was a powerful time. Sam talked about idolatry and asked us what was holding us back from following Christ (our idols). Our students then had a chance to respond by finding a leader and asking them to pray for them. I was amazed at how many of our students responded to this challenge, and even more amazed by the boldness it took for some of them to come and share about their struggles.
This response continued into our church group time and we had some great conversation about what God is doing in the midst of our group. We had one young man, Ridge, place his trust in Christ yesterday afternoon, and it wasn't even during a bible study time. Praise God for Ridge's decision, and for His constant work among sinners such as us. Everyone seems to be much more tired this morning, but they are a little more alert now that we spent some time in worship. Sam talked about the demon possessed man in Mark 5 this morning and reminded us that Jesus can overcome any of our issues. I believe our students along with several hundred others are indeed dealing with some issues and needed to be encouraged and reminded. Sam Bhatt has done an outstanding job teaching us this week. He is real, honest, funny, and his love for God's Word is evident in the way he teaches it. Brett Younker and his band have also done a great job leading us to worship God. It's always refreshing to be led by those who are humble, down to earth, and most importantly true disciples.
Please continue to pray for us, and for our leaders. Amy Kimmel, Bobby Greene, and Alexander Garcia have been exceptional in leading the small group bible study times with our students. I'll echo what I said yesterday - I am blessed to work with all of these people and I'm so excited to see what God does next.
