Did I Fall Asleep at the Wheel

Well if you've been checking this update regularly my deepest gratitude goes out to you. Updates have been few and far between lately. Partially because the events of our immediate ministry haven't been all that thrilling to report on and it's just been that crazy in the office.

So I returned to a mountain of tasks to conquer and a tight time frame to complete them in. As many of you may know, this Saturday is pretty big getting the word out about what God is doing overseas through the work of Children's Camps International. Planning for the World Harvest For Kids Event is a task much bigger than I thought. Approximately 200 volunteers, over 100 combines, dozens of media organizations, hundreds of phone calls, last minute arrangements, fundraising and more and more has been the buzz of the office over the past month. I wonder what Monday will sound like - although I've got a long date with my computer coming up as a satellite network broadcasting to 30 million homes has requested video footage of the event and my task is to edit the dozens of camera angles.

Up until this morning I felt somewhat overwhelmed. But today during a noon hour prayer meeting an inner joy and excitement started stirring. God is going to use this event - great things are on the horizon. Despite the gliches of the past weeks we will soon have a platform that thousands maybe even millions (okay, thousands will do for now) of people will be exposed to how God is moving all over the world.


Please pray for this event and that we would be free to accomplish this goal to promote and raise funds for a very, very valuable ministry.

And please plan to be there on Saturday. Check out www.worldharvestforkids.com for more details.
