Today was an incredible day. It began at 5:45am, everyone went for a hike and worship on top of the mountain towering above the camp. The camp shut down today and we cancelled our regular duties and had a sunday service. The presence of God was so tangible you could almost taste it during our time of worship and prayer. The students worshiped and prayed with such passion and conviction it brought Jordan and I to tears... pls forgive the next bit of writing but today is a hard one to put into words. As you may have read the title I have given this blog for today is GOD WALKS AMOUNG US!!!! I have never in my life felt or experienced anything quite like heaven as today. I have to say that I could also not be more proud to lead such an amazing group of young adults. Watching as they worshiped, and had the boldness and strenghth to encourage those around them to pray for the undeniable power of God to desend on this place with healing and grace. As i said before it reduced me to my knees in prayer and praise to our most Holy God almighty. To watch as these kids dig in and pray unceasingly to our Father, to see change in the youth that have come to this camp. Just to give you a little picture of our service today, ninety percent of the students at camp responded to the word of God. Many came to salvation, made public declarations of their faith and felt a calling to missions. It was a beautiful picture to watch the Greek teens pursue God. I am not entirely sure how to describe the atmosphere, but I WILL SAY THIS ..... I SAW GOD WALK AMOUNG US TODAY, I SAW HIS POWER HIS BEAUTY AND HIS GLORY, NOT COME IN LIKE A QUICK WIND OR DESEND ON US LIKE A RAIN BUT RATHER HE STOOD AND WALKED IN AND AROUND EVERY PERSON THERE. TOUCHING AND BLESSING EACH SOUL THAT WAS CRYING OUT HIS HOLY NAME. My God you continue to do wonders in your world thank you for alowing us to be apart of your plan!!!!!
Pls continue to hold us each up in your prayers. And know that we are seeing the fruits of those prayes. Also pls stay tuned as we will be bring you some videos soon.
We love you all, pls let us know if we can pray for you in any way.

P.S. Again: I am so thrilled to hear the amazing things that God is doing in all of you over in Greece. I had no doubts that all of you would be reaching those Greek teens in so many ways. I pray that God continues to reveal himself to you and that you continue to grow in Him everyday. Our God really is bigger than any of us could every imagine. I am so happy to hear all that you are experiencing and can't wait for the next post. Lots of love from back here in Canada!!

Hey Greece Team, way to go!! Awesome, we have been praying for you each day that God would show Himself in unprecedented ways. So great to hear how God is revealing Himself to each of you and the camp kids as well. It's about 7:30 pm here and know that you are just about to embark on another day. We leave you with this verse, praying over the team...."For in Him does our heart rejoice, because we have trusted (relied on and been confident) in His Holy name. Let your mercy and lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us, in proportion to our waiting and hoping for You" Psalm 33:21,22. God is answering your prayers, YOU are making a difference, YOU are leaving a fingerprint in each life. We bless you today and pray for strength and courage to step into what God asks of you today!!
