This weekend (similar in feeling to that of a summer camp) spent at the youth rally at Bruce Mines was awesome, sunburns excluded. The weekend long event was draining both physically and spiritually which made us rely on God even more. It was awesome to see some of the teens from Powason again and also meet a few new people. The worship was held outside underneath a large army tent, along with the dramas and testimonies/messages. The worship carried throughout the small town with the large amps behind the tents and Nick noted after we finished our second rally that the gospel is not only being spread to those who are underneath the tent, but to the neighbors as well and everyone in ears length. We have no idea how God could have used that in Bruce Mines. We all thank God for the sunny weather so that this could happen.
It was amazing to see God work this weekend. To be able to do what God has called us to do and to see how he used our actions and words to speak to those who heard. Some teens even asked Jesus into their lives this weekend which is always an amazing thing to witness as we so often forget the absolute joy that's felt when we realize that God has used us to welcome someone else into his eternal kingdom.
The weekend taught us all something and God used all of us in our unique ways, from powerful testimonies and messages, to late night jam sessions and midnight "Jesus" talks with bikers passing by, God was evident at Bruce Mines and we can only hope that what happened this weekend will never end, but that the teens who attended will continue to grow in Jesus and seek him more and more.
All in all, the weekend was a great end to our missions trip. Ending the week with a church service made us all feel at home and prepared us for the nine and a half hour drive that we embarked on shortly afterwards. We all thank God so much for the safe drive to Arnprior (close to Ottawa) and for all the strategically placed Tim Hortons along the way!!
God Bless, and thanks for all the support and prayers.
