The group of us from SoHills who had traveled to Chicago returned to ABI around 8 p.m. last evening. Having spent a big chunk of our 21 hour (spread over two days) return trip behind the wheel of a church van (pulling a trailer)... I arrived home one tired camper.
It was so encouraging to see our students' passion for God and their heart for the poor, overlooked and marginalized people we encountered in Chicago. I trust that the seeds God used our group to plant in the lives of those we met, talked and prayed with will bear much Kingdom fruit. I deeply appreciate those of you who served as prayer warriors on our behalf... God was faithful.
And speaking of Kingdom fruit... take a moment to read this story on ACU's web site that describes the efforts of ACU students in assisting the Carrollton Avenue church in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. That sweet looking strawberry blonde in the picture above (a picture you'll also see illustrating the story on ACU's web site) is my youngest daughter, Caroline.
