The Hand, the Furnace, the Straight Face

I'm goin to camp! 

Mars Hill Students is hosting their first ever, annual summer camp at the Malibu Club in British Columbia, Canada.  Malibu was originally built in the 30's as a vacation spot for the rich and famous, but is now owned and operated by YoungLife.

 It's an amazing opportunity I have to join in on this.  That said, this will be only the second time Shelley and I have been apart since we've been married, and it's for nearly a week... the camp/island is so remote there is zero cell phone service... I'm going to miss her so much...

Please pray:
 -that we'd both grow as we're apart
and
-students experience Jesus

I'm looking forward to getting students out of their everyday life for a time to hear Jesus-centered messages, soak up the beauty of the landscape, be involved in 24/7 community, and enjoy tons of activities!
