If you know me then you know I am at the Bigstuf Camp right now in Panama City beach. I don’t consider it a camp anymore. It’s an unexplainable experience that a blog or a video can’t really depict.
1500 people each week experiencing God in ways that most of the world could only wonder about.
Everyone who comes here talks about trying to explain it and are left speechless. The stories are stories about Jack, and Jessie, and a group of children from orphanages in Kenya who sing from their hearts to a God they really know. The story is really about God. A God who knew Jack when he was just a baby in Kenya and allowed him to lose his hands knowing that his heart would be full as he stood in America with a smile on his face proclaiming God as sovereign. A God who knew that the thousands of arms that hugged Jack this summer would somehow make up for him not having his own.
A God who places his arms around a girl named Jessie every night and shows her how the cancer in her body is a megaphone that shouts to the world that God’s love and grace are so much bigger than disease.
A God whose smile lights up the universe every week as he watches 1500 students lift their voices to Him while the angels can’t help but turn their heads to see whose volume matches theirs.
I want this blog to be in everyones mail box, in living color, full on HD and 3D so the world can see that life is bigger than anything we call normal and God is on the move and dancing across the world connecting nations and displaying his glory through kids who are anything but normal because they have had an encounter with their creator.
Tomorrow, I will add a video that can’t begin to show what really happens here.
Well I suppose it can begin to….but for now…know that God is being magnified and the world is changing. And it’s happening because a bunch of teenagers from both sides of the planet saw his face this week.
And since i like pictures..here is one of our Daraja Children’s Choir of Africa.
