Redberry is the Best!

Well, we have hit our half way mark! And boy has it been an adventure! God has blessed us more than we ever thought He would. We have many stories of heart breaking situations with teen campers and their glorious victory as they surrender their lives to God and desire to follow Him. God has been so gracious to our team in allowing us to be part of this tour, to meet incredible camp staff, directors, and campers. Each week at camp has given us unbelievable memories, lasting relationships and challenges at which to overcome and grow stronger from. He has been so faithful by giving us the rest we need and the perseverance to continue on when we are exhausted. We all consider it a privilege to be tested and tried for our King in order to bring Him Glory and develop our character.
We are currently at Redberry Bible Camp, North of Saskatoon, SK. We have just spent an amazing week with some incredible campers and staff! We got to experience a small glimpse of God’s power through a incredible thunder/rain/hail storm! This caused a flash flood and a river to run through the middle of our camp! Check out our website for the pictures! Refinedundignified.com
But even greater than the power in the storm, we were able to witness the power of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of campers during the response time after the performance of our full show of “Lost” on Thursday night. I (Adrian) spoke after the show about hiding and how good this generation is at settling for things don’t satisfy, I talked about John 10:10 which says that the theft comes to STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY lives and I asked them if they felt that their life had been stolen, then I told them the good news that Jesus came to give us TRUE LIFE, LIFE ABUNDANT.
Alli and I led worship and invited campers to come forward for prayer. It was apparent that the Holy Spirit was present! Slowly campers came to the front and soon the whole place was crying and seeking repentance. After an hour of this there was an awakening and the whole place became a dancing celebration! God is SOOOO good! And we are so blessed that He allows us to be able to be a part of His plan and to be able to see the fruit first hand is an added bonus! Hearing testimonies from different cabin leaders the next day, we were excited to hear we had a handful of NEW brothers and sisters in the LORD, and far more who rededicated their lives to God!
Keep praying for us, many of us are sick and exhausted from pouring out into the lives of these teens but God is so faithful, we know He will provide exactly what we need. We have been able to relax this weekend, resting by the pool, doing a half-way debrief of the tour with the whole team and eating really good food. The college camp that was planned for next week was actually cancelled so we have been given the whole week off. We have decided to go our own ways and meet back up as a team next Saturday and head out to Camp Arnes, North of Winnepeg. Thank you for your support, we couldn’t do this without your prayers! God bless.
