It's Cold

Hello all you people,

First, I hope you all are warm. Let me tell you it is not warm here. Though I suppose the term “warm” is relative, but regardless it is not warm here. Currently, including wind chill, it is a whopping zero degrees and not Celsius. 

The coldness did bring some good things. It did snow which is a great blessing for Winter Camp. I was slightly worried about whether there was going to be any snow for Winter Camp and snow is kind of important for Winter Retreats, so I thank God for bringing snow which translates to fun for campers.

What are the happenings besides the cold here at Jonah? Well, last night we had the 2008 Christmas Cantata. For the cantata, the churches here at Trout Lake put together some music for the Christmas season and come together to enjoy a musical program and dessert around a well decorated table. It went well and it was great to see a lot of people in attendance, enjoying the cantata and Jesus was worship through music.

The next things on the horizon, besides Christmas of course, are the Camp Jonah Winter Camps. We are excited about the Winter Camps and I am positive that God is going to use these camps to glorify His name and bring people to Him. If you could join me in praying about these camps, that would be a huge blessing, I want to give the camps entirely to Jesus and have them be all about Him and never about any of us. I would hate to see them ruined because the focus was not on Jesus.

I pray that God is challenging you and your life to be all about Him and never about yourselves. This life and everything about it should be about God and glorifying Him in any and everyway that we can.

God is using us and I pray we will be able to give more up to Him. As Mark Driscoll says, “help us to worship you (God) and not take ourselves seriously.”

Keep us in your prayers that we may glorify Him and never ourselves.

Proud to do Kingdom work,
