Our last day began with not enough sleep. The van group cleaned all the vans to prepare them for Group 3 then they went out to eat. My roommate didn’t get into his bed till 5AM. After breakfast we formed a rectangle of chairs to share our personal highlights. For many it was the singing, others it was the daily devotions with messages that touched our lives. The father son power team members lives were connected in deep ways and their experience brought many of us to tears. Highlights also included the presence of missionaries and Mexican Nationals which added greatly, the festival, the interactions with children, the prison visits, building work and so much more. One common experience was our fellowship. First timers got to know 65 new brothers in Christ. Those who were returning deepened their bonds of faith.
We concluded with a communion service partaking in groups of 12 and praying for each other. Through the morning men began to leave mostly for the airport for flights taking them home to several different states. We were reminded and asked prayer for those who would be staying for group 3 which begins later today with a larger group. We were given 6 raffle tickets for the March 8th drawing which along with the golf tournament is Power’s major funding for the ongoing border miniseries.
There were lots of hugs and expressions of gratitude. Now we pray for group 3 and all the lives God is touching through Power Ministry.
