Joni and Friends family camp
Tuesday, July 27, 2010
My family and I just got back from spending a week at the Joni and Friends family camp held at the beautiful Calvary Chapel retreat center in Murrieta Hot Springs. I was privileged to give a concert there last year, but this summer I got to lead worship every day for these amazing families! What and incredible ministry! As soon as I get some photos, I'll post them and more comments. But for now, let me suffice it to say that I saw the Lord in the most precious and powerful ways through these families. Kids and adults with all kinds of handicaps, both physical and mental were there at the retreat. I witnessed patience like I've never seen before. Through bodies that don't work quite right and brains that have giftings and deficiencies unlike what we would consider the "norm," I saw the joy of the Lord, passion for Him and hunger for Him that blessed, challenged and humbled me. I love these people. I love Joni Eareckson Tada who has used her 4 decades of paralysis to create ministries like this and encourage hearts all over the world (including mine--she is my hero). I can't wait to share more with you about this. 
"I know that the Lord is great!" (Psalm 135:5a)
