2 Corinthians 12:15, "And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you..."
This morning's HBC parent service was fantastic. There were 170+ in attendance, we had more parents and children than what we had last year, and there were approximately 4-5 families that said they would be back to Mallow Bible Fellowship in the coming weeks. God was, and is, working! This is one thing that I love about our God... We may want to look back and see a few things we could have done better, made some things more polished, and even structured some details different, but God is in the business of taking what we offer and doing way more than what we can think or imagine! It is not about us... It is all about him!
Later on in the evening we met up with some of the teens that came to the teen camp, as well as the few others we ran into while in town. We had a great time talking, playing soccer, and eating Apache pizza together at the Southside Community Centre. This community center was the same one that we used 2 years ago for our first HBC, and here we are this year using it to reach out and minister to some teenagers. this part of our trip was completely unexpected... the connections we were able to make tonight were great, and it was another great example of how God goes way above and beyond all that we can ask or even imagine. He has plans that go way beyond our thoughts and plans!
What a great trip... :)
Please pray for us as we head home in the morning!
In Christ alone,
Stephen
