The past few weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind. I have been working just as much at Starbucks, but have also kept busy with Ambassador stuff. We have closed all of our trips at this point, and ready to send the teams out into the field. I’ve been making all kinds of calls to track down last minute documents and support, but it’s exciting to come to this point.
Although training camps started several days ago, I was not able to come down to Gainesville, GA until yesterday morning. It has been an awesome time so far. We have talked about being “chosen,” “broken,” and “blessed.”
I
have been responsible to teach the drama this year. That has been a big challenge, but a lot of fun. So with the help of another AIM staffer, Emily, we have gotten through two-thirds of the teams so far, and all in less than five hours over the last two days. We are doing a DRIME (silent drama set to music) to the song “In The Light” by DC Talk. Old-school, I know, but it’s the most practical to teach to a huge group, and it’s effective for ministry. It depicts the story of two girls created by God. One gives God praise and honor for creating her while the other initially rejects God and and succumbs to the devil’s schemes, before finally realizing her need for a Savior and turning to Him.
Last night, after Don Rock spoke about “brokeness,” one of the participants came up to her leader and shared that she was not a believer. It was during the DRIME practice that she began to relate to the “bad girl” character, and she realized she has never made a decision to follow Christ Through the rest of the sessions that day, she knew she was ready to make that step. She accepted the Lord and joined the family last night. PRAISE GOD!!!
Please be in prayer for these teams–their effectiveness on the field, their unity as a team, their safety, and their own growth with the Father.
