Every day, I look up in the sky and think, "It can't get any better than this." And everyday, when the sun comes up it starts all over again.
I can't believe the work God is doing here. The freedom His Spirit is allowing to rescue teens from oppressive baggage can't be overstated.
I asked another group yesterday, "What makes KIVU so special?"
"You hire Real People." one student commented.
"Tell me about that" I asked.
"Other places tend to put on a show for what you're supposed to be like. They act like nothing every goes wrong in life, and everything is supposed to just work out. You guys don't judge me for who I am. Sure you still have a BLAST while you're here, but from the moment I got off the bus, I feel safe. It's like these people know me."
I just sat listening, goose bumps up and down my arm. He got it! That's exactly what we're doing here. First and foremost, we're helping kids be kids, and that's the reason why we do what we do. Secondly, we're providing an outstanding BEST IN CLASS Colorado Adventure. And finally, we're working to help them understand the importance of Loving God and Loving Other People, without regard for anything else that they are created by God.
It doesn't get any better than this...until tomorrow that is!
Wish you could be here to join us.
Oh, and if you haven't seen the Rwanda trip, just scroll down here. KIVU Rwanda taking off. I can't wait to hear the stories first hand. It sounds like the trip of a lifetime.
