Thanks so much for teach me so much this week and helping me not to forget it or loose my fire when I get back home. As a result of this trip I realize that I need to reach out to people more and share God’s good news.

Its really helped me to focus on you and realize again how powerful you are. You forgive and forget. Lord, your grace is more than what we can imagine - Your love for us is beyond anything anyone could imagine. You hurt when you see us sad, you hurt when we are not connected, when we miss opportunities for ministry. You are an almighty God, you forgive us and welcome us back with open arms. Thank you for a last trip with the youth group. Its been amazing to be a natural leader and watch everyone step up when the time is right and have faith. There's a lot of people who know people who need you Lord, may those people be touched by you Lord. Lord as Robert said, Satan is always at work, finding any way to divert our attention, our faith, our walk with you. I pray that you help us to put on the full armour of God every day so that we don't get distracted. I pray for the children that go to the day camps that the groups after us will continue to touch those kids lives and share your word and your love. I pray for my family that you will help me to be an example to them and get my family reconnected. Thank you for an awesome week doing your will. I love you Lord. Sincerely, Brian Stuart Jr. Lord,

Right away you showed me part of your plan for my life when we saw the destruction of the 9th ward and other areas. For a long time I have struggled with not knowing what to do after High School & so I praise you for your guidance. While staying at the AIM base you also le me know that I don't always need to hear your voice to be confirmed; a simple burden on my heart can be suffiecint. Lord, you truly used our group this week by directing us through our ATLs and devos. My utmost hope and prayer is that you will continue to use me in whatever way you see fit for the rest of my life. It is so safe and refreshing to be in your will Lord & there is nowhere else I'd rather be. -Amen Dear Lord, This trip to NOLA was truly a life-changing experience.

First I learned to by more grateful for my family and possessions. Second I learned that God will tell you where he wants to go to serve him. Third I learned to get out of my comfort zone and pray, talk to peopl on the streets. Fourth I learned that I am good at praying in big groups. Know and I did some wise and smart prayers. Fifth I learned that you can worship God by doing two things at the same time. On the trip we did this by singing songs while walking on the street and giving water to people and then talking or praying with them. I think me praying even might have gave others the confidence to pray in a group or out loud. Nick Savides I learned a lot this past week.

He also said Im not supposed to. Quit worrying about whats next or how I can accomplish tasks down the road. I found that I should pray, seek His Word and His will in all things. Plan with flexibility- live in the now. Listen for His call and be ready to go when I GET IT. One big lesson for me is that I cannot control how the teens will react to what we are doing. I can love on them, talk with them, but mainly pray for them and trust in God that His will be done. Be ready when He calls to do as He wants. May I continue to be His servant that is what I pray for myself and I ask you to pray for. God reminded me that I do not have all the answers. He also said Im not supposed to.

On Friday we took off early int he morning and took a fairy boat to an island. I realized I could loosen up with no worries besides stepping on the crabs and jelly fish. These past two days were amazing. Wow, these past two days have been amazing. Thursday was the last day of day camp. We had the BBQ at Old School after. It was so much fun spending our afternoons with those kids. They have truly changed my life. On Friday we took off early int he morning and took a fairy boat to an island.

It would always drive me crazy, that we werent actually doing construction or telling people about Jesus. It felt like we were wasting time and not getting anything done. But God really showed me this week the importance of prayer and prayer brought kids to day camp we never thought would come. I am so grateful for this trip and everything it has taught me.
