HEY!

I have no way of conveying the excitement and passion that I have for everything happening in my life. A quick recap of where I'm at, I’m working at Winkler Bible Camp full time and have been since last summer. I’m doing 2010 summer camp planning/prep and running/directing the Kids Zone program which we started last March.

The Kids Zone kick off was yesterday and it was fantastic! We had about 140 kids show up, and about 30 leaders. It was again a super fun time for the kids with a awesome time of teaching, asking the question of “Who are you living for?” I love it so much and am so pumped for the many ways it will continue to grow and change to become even more effective.

My summer was also amazing and I feel so blessed to have gotten to work with all the counselors and leadership staff that I did. God is so good, and he is always teaching me and preparing me for the next step to take.

One of those next steps is that I’m speaking at my church Jr. youth retreat in mid October. This will be my first speaking weekend, and I’m nervous, but very excited about this way for me to be stretched. I was also give the opportunity to speak in my church today and share my passion for ministry and I know that God is using me and other young passionate people to help bring change to the entire congregation and that excites me so much!

I’m also teaching Sunday school at my church and I have 5 (apparently trouble making) grade 6 boys, so I know we are going to have a blast! And I’m going camping next weekend with all our male summer staff as a way to connect!

So, as you can tell, I’m busy and excited about all of it! God is good, all the time and I want nothing other than to serve him with all my heart, time, money, strength etc.

I’m so excited to hear from all of you too, so keep those posts coming. God has blessed all of us that years after we have been apart, there is still this amazing community atmosphere between us! I love you all, keep doing what you’re doing and serving God!

Revolutionary Steve


P.S. I dont know much about blogs, but is there a way for us to have a "Post Blog" button on our blog, just to make in even more enticing and easy for people to post?

Steve I could feel the energy asnd excitement leap out of the text as I was reading and I caught myself trying to read extra fast because I know thats how fast you would be talking.
You inspire me and the impact your ministry has due to the pure joy people see in you is very exciting.
Maybe I could come down and visit you in early November before I leave for Africa
