K SQUAD
How was training camp?
The question I have gotten the most in the last 24 hours. I wish I had a word to sum it up but I can’t think of one that accurately describes every piece of what happened. The best I can think to say is that it was one of the best weeks of my life, but that statement doesn’t even begin to cover all the incredible things Our Lord did in and through my amazing squad.
I could explain the sleeping on a bus and “surviving a plane accident” and camping in the woods, but that was the smallest part of camp. The effects of those situations had such a deep impact and even that would barely scratch the surface.
I could talk about the family of 57 people I didn’t know 10 days ago, but I’m not sure I could explain how much I love each of them and how much they taught me and inspired me in only 7 days. I could never explain how amazing they all are and how beautiful their stories are. And then it would be a whole other story to express the love I have for our leadership and the Gray media crew.

I could tell you the things I saw and smelled and ate, but I don’t know if I could really express how constant and tangible the Holy Spirit was and how tangible His strength, His peace, His joy, and His love were. I would tell you everything I remember but it would come out slightly jumbled and I’m positive there would be things I miss.
I could tell you about the freedom I experienced, but it would probably seem unbelievable. The overwhelming joy I found the moment I came to the end of myself and was more broken than ever, but there are no words that could fully explain what that was like.
So, for now, I have to stick with “It was one of the best weeks of my life.”

If you want to know more about training camp please contact me, I would love to talk about it and share specific ways God was and still is moving. Unfortunately there would never be enough room in a blog to do so.
Please keep my team and squad in your prayers. More than ever we will need the Lord’s strength to make it through this final month before launch. Strength to press into the fears and anxieties that will surface, strength to battle everything that satan will try to tempt us with or lies we might be told to discourage us. Pray for finances, we need to have at least $7,500 in our accounts by August 22nd to launch in September. If you feel led to partner with me, and want to see God continue the work He’s doing, please support me by clicking here.
