Guest Poster here...Unfortunately, Jon does not have internet access at this time, so he asked me (Nikki) to fill in a few details for you, our praying parents and friends...
The flights out to Salt Lake City could not have gone any smoother. Likewise, the check-in at the hotel went like clockwork. When you consider a group of their size, that's really quite remarkable! Thanks for praying them through!
By last night, even before the first rally, everyone was understandably exhausted. Francis Chan (one of our all-time favorite speakers) gave a tremendous message on the holiness of God. It will be exciting to hear from our kids how God used that message to challenge and stir their hearts...
Jon imposed an earlier-than-normal bedtime on our kids and staff last night. He said they all awoke feeling refreshed and much, much better this morning.
As a reminder, visit the official conference blog for additional news and updates: "Sojourn ~ Challenge '08" Also make special note that tonight is the first of two rallies to which we will be given live access! The rally, featuring speaker, Jimmy Dorrell, and worship band, Starfield will begin around 9pm Central time. If you have broadband access, this is your opportunity for an inside look into what your loved one is hearing and experiencing in Salt Lake City! The second of these live video streams will be held tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.
Please continue to pray for...
* transformation of our kids' wills
* an understanding of how our kids' gifts build the kingdom
* a complete disdain for all things common as our kids pursue heavenly things
Thanks for your ongoing prayers, encouragement, and loving support!
