I (Nikki) spoke with Jon again this morning, and the message he most wished to convey to you parents is this: Your kids are a joy! Their attitudes have been fantastic; the way they love one another is motivating and encouraging. Unfortunately, it's not like this in every youth group. We count it a joy and privilege to get to love them and your families!
Prior to Challenge, students were asked to give up discretionary funds to buy a million meals in order to feed hungry people, both physically and spiritually. Partnering with EFCA TouchGlobal, the meals will be distributed through the Evangelical Free Church of Congo.
This afternoon is our kids' ministry opportunity to assemble these meals. Please pray for them as they serve. In order to give the students a greater understanding of the world's hunger and need, all conference attendees will be served Red Beans & Rice for dinner tonight. Please pray for continued good attitudes and humility.
On a less serious note, our crew is supposed to pick up kazoos today so that they will be ready for tomorrow's attempt at setting a world record. Evidently all 6,000 or so will play their kazoos in unison to a song yet to be unveiled.
This may be the first time I'm glad I'm NOT there.... ;)
Thanks for your ongoing faithful prayers!
