"My Cup Over Runneth"

This past summer at times was overwhelming, filled with opportunities, hard-work, difficult moments and all the same filled with gracious rewards!  Our "Kids Quest" Lithuania team set out this summer to simply give ourselves to Jesus for the entire summer.  At times our schedule seemed relentless but not once did one of my youth leaders feel it was not worth the final reward. 

As a person who has the privilege to lead this amazing group of young people; I can't relate to the why God would use someone simple like me.  I have witnessed spiritual hunger and depth in their lives that ignites my soul.  I can say the lack of sleep, the constant driving & moving from one village to the next and onto another city with a few stopovers at camp in between was worth every ticking moment.  "My cup Over Runneth" with pure joy!  I see the birth of something great inside of our leaders.  Their hearts and desires are peeking in a place that now is filled with curiosity to see what next exciting challenge we have in front of us.

They have challenged me and I see them heading in the right direction.  All I can say is they are fierce about serving God with a pure heart, and they are not shy to stand for what is right and they can stand against their obstacles and say, "You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting."

You would think I'm talking about wise and mature people.  Well they are wise above their years and most would say there is a maturing that is being witnessed.   They our leaders for our evangelism team: Sima Slepikaite, age 15; Mindaugas Volskas, age 17; and Indre Maleckaite, age 19.  The guys in the middle is Mark Canfield, who came and joined us for a few weeks of ministry.  All I can say is, I'm proud of them and excited about their future and their impact!
