still thinking on Challenge. i talked again to Sam Salgado today. He decided at Challenge to be a Christ follower. that rocks. our church will celebrate with a rose this Sunday am. i think all of our students made some kind of life adjustments.

it was fun to hear our students share last Sunday night at our youth meeting. many are doing the 50 day devotional. some plan to share Christ with friends.

i am proud of the 14 students we took to Challenge. They did a great job picking up trash in a poorer neighborhood outside of Columbus. They engaged in every session with interest and enthusiasm. the sessions were about hours each.

they helped with making 5,000 backpacks to go to Haiti, India or Africa.

Our adults were great as well. Doug and Cam are sold out to Christ and will do all they can to help our students follow Christ. Linda was awesome with our 6 girls on the trip.

May the fruits of the Beattitudes continue to change us.
