We are still having a blast at passways and continuing to learn about how we can be like Jesus and transform our world. We had an interesting night last night as some pretty severe storms came through the area and threatened to take out the power. But after they passed we loaded some vans and went and worshiped God. Talk about seeing God's power and love at the same time! Today I've invited Hunter Stone to share his thoughts about the trip. Here ya go Hunter:
"Hey. This week we have been learning about the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's). These were goals created at the start of the millennium by the U.N. to address global problems such as poverty, education, and health. Each day in bible study we have looked at a specific goal and the problems that it addresses. Today we looked at the goal of universal education and explained the story of Jonah. After studying Jonah's initial disobedience, being slapped in the face by God (through the means of a whale), and eventually following God's plan, I came to a realization. When an opportunity presents itself, you might as well take it. God will make sure it happens anyways. So if a situation ever presents itself to you (including but not limited to the MDG's) just go for it because you never know when a whale is waiting around the corner to eat you."
Thanks Hunter. Be sure to check back for more pictures and stories!
