Wednesday in Potlatch...




Breakfast was a bit quieter this morning than on our first day, but even as our bodies grow weary our spirits are being rejuvenated! This evening at family time the students all had great insights about community, service, and simple yet complex power of the cross of Christ in our lives. Among everyone was the feeling that this is where (and when) we are supposed to be. It is neat to see the fellowship our team is investing in for the majority of our 7:30am to 11:30pm days. There is a lot of fun being had, and that is just icing on the cake for the bonds of brotherly love that are being formed between our group. It is a joy to see the students minister – not only to the VBS kids and youth at youth outreach – but to each other through their talks, lessons, and sharing of personal growth.

We had 71 students at VBS today, so we’ve been averaging about 70 students with a large core of those students coming consistently each day. Today’s big question was: Why do I need Jesus? The lessons utilized the story of Jesus washing the disciples feet. It was a neat way to connect how we need Jesus’ sacrifice to wash us clean from sin.
