HELPING EACH OTHER
Thanks so much for all your encouragement, prayer, and support as we prayerfully "gear up" for Warrior Camp 2013. Keep praying for God to do His thing in boys and young men: that unsaved young men would come to Jesus for the 1st time, and that churched boys would grow as authentic young men after God's own heart. We're exploring the benefits of getting dads and father figures involved in Warrior Camp this year too. And, if you can remember to pray for the churches, kids workers, and youth workers who are giving us a chance to partner with them in ministry, and who will be doing critical follow-up ministry after Warrior Camp, that'd be amazing! We want Warrior Camp to be a spiritually impacting win for them and their church, and one that produces long-term fruit!
And if you ever have any questions about WARRIOR CAMP, or prayer requests we can pray with you over, please let me know! You matter to God and to us, and we're in His family together.

...On another note, here's something I wanted to share from one of my heroes. I hope you like it! THE WARRIOR HEART | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I have in my files a copy of a letter written by Major Sullivan Ballou, a Union officer in the 2nd Rhode Island. He writes to his wife on the eve of the Battle of Bull Run, a battle he senses will be his last. He speaks tenderly to her of his undying love, of "the memories of blissful moments I have spent with you." Ballou mourns the thought that he must give up "the hope of future years, when, God willing, we might still have lived and loved together, and seen our sons grown up to honorable manhood around us." Yet in spite of his love the battle calls and he cannot turn from it. "I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter . . . how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and sufferings of the Revolution . . . Sarah, my love for you is deathless, it seems to bind me with mighty cables that nothing but Omnipotence could break" and yet a greater cause "comes over me like a strong wind and bears me unresistably on with all these chains to the battle field."
A man must have a battle to fight, a great mission to his life that involves and yet transcends even home and family. He must have a cause to which he is devoted even unto death, for this is written into the fabric of his being. Listen carefully now: You do. That is why God created you-to be his intimate ally, to join him in the Great Battle. You have a specific place in the line, a mission God made you for.
(John Eldredge. Wild at Heart, 141)

In addition to the new venue we'll be using for the War Games Weekend this Summer, I'm just a little excited about my new home and wanted to share some pics if that's ok with you. This whole story is a huge God thing, and I'm so grateful and excited for all the ministry opportunities that He's already allowing at this new place! (If you're ever in Nampa, come on over! :)
