Escape ‘08- Ministry with military teens
The Spirit Poured Out
An excerpt from Mark Wilson’s Blog regarding Escape ‘08
Today we got over the hump. The kids had the morning off and spent a good portion of it in morning in discussion and reflecting on what they had learned. Again fun afternoon where we added go-carting to free time activiteis. We were all poined to do our part and let the Lord do the rest.
We also had a visitor today. A high ranking chaplain who was very interested in how we were ministering to US military kids in Europe. He got a full tour and a great representation of Malachi’s excellence in youth ministry and passion for Christ.
Rob, (Hildebrand from Multnomah Bible College) did a great job sharing the story of the Gospel and was very careful to not to prey upon the emotions of vulnerable students with so many competing emtions since their parents and world are in turmoil. God’s Spirit poured out onto students in a great and real way. Over half the camp stayed in the room to discuss how God was speaking and moving in their lives. I was shocked, I don’t know why, but I am always by God’s work in the heart of students.
The chaplain was heard saying to his boss on the phone “wow we had this incredible worship, and a modern alter call and God moved in amazing ways. He was later heard saying “that was the best retreat I had ever been too!” God really blessed our efforts and revealed Himself to students in great ways.
