WHAT'S A BIBLE?
Ruth asked all the kids to go and get their Bibles and come back ready for devotions.
One of the boys asked, "What's a Bible?"
Ruth replied that if they don't have one she'd give one to them.
This little boy wanted to know if perhaps he did have what was needed.
"What's it like, is it some kind of torch?"
Another child tried to help out. "It's the book that Christians read."
To which the boy replied, "What's a Christian?"
Two things stand out to me from that conversation.
We live in a post Christian society. We cannot assume that people know about God and His ways.
Psalm 119:105 says that God's Word is like a torch to light our way.
Our society will continue to flounder in darkness if we are not luminated by God's truth.
UKRAINE CONNECTIONS
The tough news from last week is that the judge upheld the original conviction of Vlad. He remains in prison and is rather downheartened.
Prison conditions are not pleasant. Pray for Vlad to keep his faith strong in God. There is a higher court he can appeal to and as more details come to light I will let you know. Please keep praying for Vlad and don't lose hope.
THE REST
I'm in NZ on camp with Ruth and Jon. I have written an allegory inspired by Pilgrim's Progress and CS Lewis. The theme of the camp is Treasure Island. Maybe I'll give a run down after camp.
Beach Mission finished really well. Stacks of kids heard the good news about Jesus and the team of 25+ helpers worked really well together.
I enjoyed the wedding of Jenny and Phil at the farm in Eureka.
Congrats guys and the Murphy's place looked spectacular.

There's something liberating about not pretending. Dare to embarrass yourself. Risk.
