Another day on the road to Tijuana is in the books!
After a quick breakfast in the camp kitchen, we departed just before 7:00am and caught the sun rising over the Montana mountains as we continued south.
The team spent the early morning drive getting a bit more sleep and starting the next few chapters of John Piper’s “Don’t Waste Your Life” before making the first gas stop in Idaho.
For the rest of the morning drive, the team did their daily devotions and tested their geography skills playing the Name a Country game before stopping for lunch in Spanish Fork, Utah.
The team had fun playing “Date It” over the post-lunch drive, competing to test their knowledge of world events. The afternoon stop for gas allowed Pastor Rick to coach the teens on their window cleaning skills.
We safely arrived at our hotel in St. George, Utah around 4:30pm, where we were met by +46C heat!
We held our daily debrief soon after checking in. In response to our daily reading of “Don’t Waste Your Life”, we discussed what you need to make a lasting difference in the world and challenged ourselves to assess whether we even have the desire to make a lasting difference. Some of us may realize that our dreams for ourselves are too small, especially compared to the passion-fuelled life God calls us to. We finished our time in our small groups praying for God’s help to break free from our small dreams and have Him do in us and through us what He wants to accomplish.
After another day of driving, we’re again thankful for safety on the roads, the growing bonds between our team members, and good health & energy levels. We’re also thankful for ample quiet time to be in God’s word and opportunity to share and pray with each other.
We’re excited to make the last leg of our journey to Tijuana tomorrow!
