We are now in the last couple days of RefGen and we are focussing a lot on coaching the participants through processing what God has done in this past month and preparing for re-entry (into their lives and situations back home). For many of them, this has been a remarkable time of transformation; its our desire that when these young men and women return home, they continue to cultivate what God has planted in them.
While the program officially finishes in less than two days, we're not out of the woods yet. Personally, I still have one more teaching session, some further logistical work (planning airport drop offs, facility clean up, video editing, etc), and then a bunch of administrative wrap up of leadership responsibilities (reports, accounting, etc). And of course this will all be saturated in personal interaction, supporting and praying for participants, mini-counseling sessions, and so on:)
Please continue over the next few days to pray for me, my co-leader, our staff, and the program participants as we wrap up our summer together. Thank you for your prayers and support this summer- its been outstanding seeing these young men and women coming alive from the inside out!
Coming up next: a week of summer break! We have a two week summer break, but I will have to spend about half of it wrapping up RefGen and setting up the Fall SBFM I am leading in September. I will still have a full week to catch up with friends, sleep in (praise the Lord!) and rest!
