Friday, Area One Camp in Missouri

Ricki, Stephanie and Rachel became good friends during the week.

The week has finally concluded. We have built some great relationships with many. Each meal we found ourselves with several students who would eat with us and discuss missions.

Ricki said to us, Thank you so much for the way you challenged us this week and befriended us! I had an incredible time at camp and God really stirred up our hearts to live passionately for Him and to reach out to ALL people with arms of love and compassion. Thank you!

Stephanie said, I definitely want to keep in touch and let you know what God is doing. We’ve done a lot of talking these past few days, and there are some really cool, but crazy stuff that we’ve talked about…. some of which I’m not even sure where to begin, and …yeah. We’ve got some stuff that we’re starting on right now, but in the future it would be absolutely wonderful if you could give us advice and just… keep in touch.
…That was a lot of words. Sorry.
I just wanted to thank you for that, and for ferrying us back and forth for meals. It was wonderful cramming 12 people in your car.

The the time with Rachel and Kiley Butler was great. They are local missionaries for Area One who I met through Bolton Campus Life. Kiley was in my club many years ago.

We are now starting the long drive home to Memphis. But we have many good memories and friends. When we arrived home over a half dozen young people had found us on Facebook. Wow.
