Guten Abend!
We're heading to bed after a long day of errands & catch-up/clean-up. (We are 9 hours ahead of Pacific time) It's the final day of prep (with some cultural things in-between).
Tomorrow, we attend chapel & then hit the road for a long drive to our retreat.
Please pray for safe driving & health. Today, 4 of our team members had "wunderbar" intestinal issues, so we hope it's only a 24 hour issue—and no one else gets it. (Or could just be "travelers" illness….) Pray that we share Christ's love in real ways!
So encouraged to hear Jeff & Julie's stories of ministry with these students—and the connections & support they are to many families (not just the students). I know this year's team members feel privileged to jump in with junior high, high school & even college age ministry—and see Shack & Mama Shack in action-- all firsthand. Greg has already had great conversations with students, Brenda has already jumped in on music, Amber & Bree are welcomed back, and Ricky's life story spoke to many.
For those of you who prayed for students (by name) last year: We're excited to give you updates when we get back—especially encouraged by last year's seniors.
For this year's "named" students: Please continue to pray for connections, growth & depth in their faith walk.
Don't forget to pray for the Pattys—that God uses them in these students' lives too!
For Christ & His Kingdom—
Gene & Rainy for the team
