Session 2, Day 7

Hey everyone! A quickie:

Highlights:

- In this morning's Jesus Time, Karim talked about having faith in God. We did some blind trust exercises to demonstrate what it means to trust someone even if you can't see them/what they're doing. The kids loved it, understood it and will, I think, remember it.

- Mike stopped by again today and shared a bit of his amazing story with the kids. I love this story, and will re-tell it in brief:
Mike had learned to play the trumpet in his grade 10 music class, and God blessed him to learn very quickly. But after graduating high school, he had no more trumpet. He contacted a man at the Concordia music school to ask if he could borrow a trumpet, but the man said that he could not lend out to strangers. He and his mom prayed together that God would somehow get Mike a trumpet. Later that week, the man called and had Mike come down to the school. He had a box ready with two trumpets in it, for Mike. Mike thanked him and asked when he would need to return them. The man replied that he didn't need to return them, ever, and said to Mike, "God answers prayers." Years later, Mike found out that the night before the man gave him the trumpets, he had been planning to give them to someone else, but heard a voice in his dreams tell him, "Give Michael the trumpets!" I love that story.

Prayer requests:

- Healing and restoration for Micah, one of our young leaders who is sick.
- Please pray that God would set our hearts on fire with a feeling of urgency for each of these kids; that we would be motivated by increased understanding of God's love for them and desire to be reconciled with them.
