The internet connection at our home, Kingdom House, has been disconnected. We’re sorry that you have been unable to hear from us for the last couple of days. The loss of connection has been felt on both sides of the Atlantic- we have missed the encouragement of the comments and the knowledge of your prayers.
We are now on a ferry traveling between Scotland and Ireland. Of course they have internet access, even though we are floating!
The Homecoming Service after camp was amazing. We asked Gary, the pastor, to get us two student testimonies and when we arrived, SIX students had signed up. We allowed them all to speak and it was beautiful. One girl said “I felt the love of 5 million people and then I realized it was God.” Wow. Jane, the student who you prayed for specifically, also spoke. She talked about how she had felt like she had a blindfold on and God had removed it. Jane’s family are not Christians and her mother was not pleased with Jane’s choice, but we are trusting God to use Jane to bring salvation to that home!
The entire service was blessed- many adults came forward for prayer at the end and much of the prayer was focused on healing. It was great to get to experience these things with the students AND their families.
Tom’s ear is feeling almost 100% better! Thank you for your continued prayers. Many of our team is feeling sick- “upper respiratory infection” is the diagnosis of choice. Yesterday, in one of the vehicles, the common chant was “1-2-3-cough!” (with the windows rolled down, of course). So please pray that as we travel tomorrow that we would be able to rest on the plane and in the airports. Traveling sick is not fun at all.
Though camp is over, we are still strongly feeling the battle that the enemy is waging. We are seeing and experiencing things that show us that he will not give up on territory that has been his. We know that we have the victory and that what God did in our lives and the lives of the campers and counselors at camp is SEALED by the Holy Spirit. We are claiming that in the name of Jesus! Continue to fight for us in prayers!
Also continue to pray for our team unity and joy. When we get home from Ireland tonight at 2am, we then have to pack and get ready to leave for the airport at 6am, so the chance for sleep is probably slim. Cramped quarters + packing + cleaning up the Kingdom House + no sleep (could) = not fun times. So pray that we would find JOY and LAUGHTER in our last few hours together.
Our flight leaves at 9am from Glasgow and we then leave London at 12pm. We will arrive in Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon at 4:30pm.
Thank you again for your commitment to pray and continually lift us up to the Father. Your letters of encouragement that many of you wrote have been uplifting to us. You will never know the long-stretching effects of your prayers and encouragement- may the Lord repay you ten fold for the time and energy that you put towards us. We are eternally grateful.
