This video is a testimony video about Nick. He was born with an extreme physical defect. At the time of this video, he was 24 years old and had already shared his story to millions of people. God is using him in a powerful way. Prepare to be challenged in your faith.
Here are some pictures from Children’s Camp. We had a great time.

God has blessed me with some great people to work with. I had some time to take a few pictures last night at church (last night of Awana). This was one that I did not take. We have an amazing youth minister. Keep up the great work Casey!
You can see more of these pictures at the Awana award ceremony next week.
We went to a dinner last night at seminary and met a missionary to India. He told me a story about a Christian man there that bought a house in a village. The neighbors laughed at him when he discovered that the well of the house he bought was dry. He had to bring water to his house from outside the village. No one offered their well water to him. What they didn’t know was that each day at 6:00 am and in the afternoon he would pray to God. His prayer always included a request for water in his well and for his village to come to Christ.
After a year of praying, all of the other wells in the village dried up and his began to fill. The villagers marvelled, “If our wells dried up, yours should be even more dry.” When they asked about the reason, he simply told them that he had prayed to God for water. He invited the neighbors to share his water. Soon, there was a man in the village that came to him and asked him to pray for his child to be healed. The Christian man said that he prayed every morning in his house at 6:00 am and that he would be welcome to come. The next day, he prayed for the child and the child was healed. The father said that he had prayed to his gods for years and nothing had happened.
Soon, more people began to come to the Christian man’s house for prayer at 6:00 am. Eventually, more than 300 people could be found at 6:00 am in the man’s house praying. Many of them were still unbelievers, but many of them had trusted Christ. The authorities came to stop the meeting. It is illegal to make converts in India. The man told the authorities that he had never gone to the other houses to make converts. Rather, these people had come to him. He said, “What would you have me do? Stop praying for them?” They left him alone and the meetings continued.
What circumstance are you enduring that God may want to use for His glory?
