I arrived at the airport to meet my squad and I was quite nervous. I did’t know what to think or expect from anything or anyone. I remember sitting down among them thinking what now? Will these people like me? Will I like them? Will I grow even closer to Christ? Questions with no answers.
First I loved everyone of my squad mates! I’ve never been around a group that loved God so much that were willing to give their lives to change the world for Him. We were forced into many extreme circumstances that pushed us to lean on each other and trust God more than ever before. I never thought I could care about a group of people the way I did so quickly.
Second I grew closer to God. Much closer. He showed me areas of my life I needed to let go of. I was bitter about my past. I knew in order to be more effective on the field and draw closer to Him this burden needed to be unloaded. The preaching moved me deeply to surrender and I found myself broken many times throughout the week. I realized that without the things that made me bitter in my life God would have never led me to the world race. I would have never had opportunity to be an instrument for Him or I would have never met these unbelievable people. I truly believe this is my calling right now an I’m so excited to see what God does.
Camp was amazing, the stories are crazy, my squad is the best! God truly moved in us and were are Gonna light this world on fire for Him. We have the greatest news the world has ever known and I’m looking forward to spreading it to the corners of His creation.
