MT09 - Post Trip Thoughts

It has been over a week since we got back and I just wanted to write to update everyone on the end of the trip. We left the ASP center for an adventure in the wild outdoors at ACE Adventure. We had a blast playing on the inflatables in the lake, racing through the mud obstacle course and camping in some very nice tents. As we sat around the fire singing praises to our King and felt the exhaustion of our bodies, I couldn't help but reflect on how God had worked in the hearts of our teens and leaders on the trip.

Although there were no sermons delivered, no small group times with well planned out questions or mandatory quiet times in His word, God was still moving. He revealed himself in individual conversations, in moments of worship, in the strength of a rock, in the beauty of nature and the hearts of some of our families. I am reminded as a pastor that our God is in control of this ship we call Lifepointe IGNITED and He will find a way to move even when it would seem the opportunity is not there. Our God is a jealous God who seeks after our hearts removing all other obstacles from His path. I am so blessed to be a part of watching this happen. Praise to you God!

Get your passports ready for next year: MT10
