Speaking at a Youth Camp
A long-time friend, Jose Mireles, a pastor of at least 3 churches, emailed to ask if I (Steve) could speak at a youth camp that they do every year. For the first time in 3 or 4 years, they were having it at a time when I was able to say "yes."
I drove there on Wednesday to find more than forty 11 to 22 year olds. As I sat with one of the adults, he counted 21 of them who weren't Christians! As I talked with several of them; one girl said she was an atheist, one guy had spent a year in prison for stealing a car, one boys parents were going through a divorce, etc.
I arrived, greeted my friend Jose, and he said: "Okay, they'll play a game now and then...you're up to speak!" I spoke three times on Wednesday and once on Thursday. It was great! Please pray for Jose and the rest of his team. They really know each of these kids, their families, and their needs. I know that God will be using them greatly in the near future.
They're sending me digital pictures so I'll put them up later!
Blessings!
