From Brenda (around lunchtime)

Hi to everyone from Craiova! It is our last day here. Tonight we will be heading into the mountains by bus. We are all very excited to get the camp going! As an adult leader who has been involved in Blackhawk youth ministry for over 6 years, I want to tell you all how proud I am of our students. I am humbled by their willingness to serve, grow, and connect and to be used by God in mighty ways. Each and every one in their own special and unique way has been a valuable part of this team. It is a privilege and an honor to witness the way these students are becoming more and more the women and men that God desires for them to be. My hope and prayer for the students is that they would realize that God wants to devastate them with the reality of His love for them. I pray that this reality would continue to change all of us and that we would be people who truly live from the heart. Thanks for all the prayers from home!


Ephesians 1:11 It is in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.

Thanks Brenda for your encouraging thoughts on the team. It blesses my heart as a mother to hear these things. Our prayers are being answered in multiple ways and we're so grateful! Thank you leaders for your wonderful love & guidance in our kids lives. Your love for God is so evident in your lives and leadership & our kids are growing by leaps & bounds because of that. We continue to hold you up in prayer.

Have a great week at camp. We will miss hearing from you if there is no internet service there & we'll look forward to hearing from you later.
