BeachReach update

Please forgive me for not updating the blog before now with BeachReach info. I've been sick with the flu, and haven't really felt up to writing what I would consider to be a full update. Enough of that though...

To God be the glory for all the people that gave their hearts to Christ while we were there. From our group, we saw four people led to the Lord, but from the group overall, we saw 27 people ushered into the Kingdom!! I can't tell you how blessed we were to see this many people come to Christ through this ministry...it was truly remarkable to see God's power as lives were changed for eternity. On a personal note, it was truly humbling to see the two guys that I mentor lead 3 people to the Lord while we were there. I hope that they feel as blessed as I do when I look at them and see how much they've grown.

Now that I'm looking back on my week in Panama City Beach, I'm seeing God's power more and more. If you'll remember from my last post, I was a little nervous as to how everything would be with this being my first time leading a group like this. I was amazed at how God provided me strength and insight at every turn during the trip. While there are some things in hindsight I think I would do differently, overall the Lord really helped solidify His calling in my life through this trip. I know now more than ever that I'm called to minister to this age demographic. I'm grateful for His leading me in that regard.

Small, yet off topic note to end this post: I got to feel the baby kick for the first time the other nite...WOW!!
