A Community of LOVE

Something special happens when hearts come together who start searching for the same thing. True community is happening here on 16 Days. God is moving in and through the group. It is incredible to see and be apart of!

It's been a few days since we have posted anything...but there has been many adventures. The road has become their empty pages. The teens have grabbed their pens and have started to write...making their make along the way and letting God take control of their hand...and in that God stories are being written. We've been in Chicago and now we're driving through Iowa...it's hot and flies have taken over the bus...but there is no other place we'd rather be...God is here and his heart is coming alive right in front of us. This is TRUE life...this is kingdom...this is God's heart...

Last night we split into boy/girl groups and we dove head-first into life together. Sharing the hardest parts of life and the struggles that come. Intimate stories were shared and God's freedom was flowing through the campsite. "Where the Spirit of the Lord is...there is freedom"...God is so good. God's love and grace was flowing...

So we keep driving...we leave a campsite and we see what's next. We don't know what's going to happen today or what adventures are waiting out there...but we drive. Because God has started these teens on a journey that leads to new realities and new hearts. We enter this next chapter knowing that God goes before us...preparing the adventure for us to discover...it has been 6 days if this 16 day road trip...may today be a chapter deeper into God's heart...pray.
