On the Lot Series
Well it has been a few weeks since the last post. Just finished our Storm Watch Series last night and no major storm came through in our area! It seemed every time we had Student Impact during this Series a real physical storm came through.
I am looking forward to this next series called On the Lot. We will be talking about making the Bible come alive for us. Lights! Camera! Action! So be sure to come on August 3 & 17 and then we will finish on September 10th.

We Made It Home!
Well we made it back on Saturday night around 5:30pm...it is good to be back in the Quad Cities! The last 2 days we spent one night in Evanston, WY and then back to Maranatha Bible Camp in Maxwell, NE for the 4th of July. They had an awesome BBQ and we got to watch some Fireworks there too.
Now the most important part of our Challenge '08 experience...bringing the changes that God made in us home with us! Pray for the commitments made this last week and that God would continue to help make those changes in us reality!

Last Night in Salt Lake City
It is our last night here in Salt Lake City...Challenge ends tomorrow and then we are driving to Evanston, WY around 9:30pm. Then on Friday we will be driving to Maxwell, NE at Maranatha Camp for the 4th of July.
Today's focus was on Leadership and God's call for us to be lead by Him. We also had 2 volleyball teams play this afternoon.

Day 4 On the Down Slope
Today is Day 4 @ Challenge and we are slowly getting on the down slope of the week...not that things are getting worse but that we will be leaving here in a day or so and ready to re-enter the real world as we know it.
Pray for these last few days we have here at Challenge and the lessons, challenges and encouragement that we will be receiving. Pray for attitudes and grumpiness as everyone needs rest. Pray that what we have learned here we can bring back home with us and be different people because of what God has molded us into.
We have the volleyball tourney this afternoon.

Day 3 Recap
Just an awesome day here at Challenge!
Today we found out that in order to package the 250,000 meals for the Congo & Haiti we needed to have received $43,000 in the offering last night. Well we didn't get $43,000 but $45,000! A group helped package these meals this afternoon and were able to write notes on the meals!
Also this afternoon we had a team of students and adults go to the Dream Center to help fill water balloons for a huge water balloon war on Thursday afternoon - 25,000 water balloons. But they were not ready to fill balloons yet so instead we had a chance to play with the neighborhood kids and invite them to the event on Thursday. These kids are from many different ethnic backgrounds. We met one 3 year old girl named Mary who is being raised by her 16 year old sister.
Then tonight made the day even more awesome if there is such a word. Becky Tirabassi challenged us in making our commitment to God stronger by committing the next 30 days to praying and reading God's Word consistently and living a pure lifestyle. Following the rally we had some students who wanted to spend some time as a group to pray for one another as well as for others in our group by name.
Just a great night here in Salt Lake City @ Challenge!

Day 3 Ready to Begin
Another good night's sleep at least for our room....getting harder to wake the guys up and get moving in my room, not sure of others yet...I guess we will see in a few minutes when we meet to go for breakfast!
Just thought I would share some pictures here so far of our time here. Today we will be having a group do a service project this afternoon to help the new church plant in the Salt Lake City area. Yesterday our group did landscaping and yard work. Pray for J.D. Greear and Becky Tirabassi as they speak during the rallies and also to pray with us as the Prayer Army gathers at 5:42pm that would be 6:42 Quad Cities time.
