Day Away

29 06 2008

We ventured off to The Great Sand Dunes National Park wednesday and took in some needed free time. Many climbed to the top, while others stayed at the bottom and enjoyed the river. It is kinda like a beach without the surf and ocean. Great Fun!

After our trip to the dunes we then traveled over to the Sand Dunes Swimming Pool. Because this pool is a hot springs, the temperature stays very warm.

Lots of relaxing and fun!





First Half

26 06 2008

Well we have the first half of the week done, with many sites flourishing and shining with the light of God’s presence.

We have helped quite a few individuals who have moved these students tremendously. From cutting up wood for a paralized stroke victim, to painting a house for a single mother living with M.S., who is also taking care of her handicapped child named Isacc. 

These servants have never wavered from their tasks. They are true servants for God and his kingdom.

Jim Lane “The Speaker” has taught us this week to notice the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and to not marginalize our friends, family and peers. Great first half!





Stations of the Cross

24 06 2008

Sunday was a day of personal discovery and motivation. In church we discussed “Rediscovering the Church” out of the events that happened on Pentecost. Just as God gave the believers his purpose through the commission, he also gave us the power through the holy spirit.  Through those two things we have confidence to serve others. The way church was first designed.

We then took a trip to San Luis, CO. to see the “Stations of the Cross”. It is a series of bronze sculptures spread throughout a hillside heading up to a chapel. Even though it is a “Catholic” shrine, it still makes every individual think about the walk Jesus did up to Galgotha. Great experience and a great day!





Kick Off

23 06 2008

So here we are, Saturday night, with everyone finally here. We are blessed to have such an awesome group. We started off with a great supper (baked potatoes), then went in for introductions, worship with help from our Band Mile 33 and speaker Jim Lane. Then off to small groups for devos. Great first night
