Thanks to everyone that has and wants to contribute to the trip to Germany, especially my parents who have given 70% up to this point. The ticket price got slashed by $200, but I still don’t have quite enough together. The bar is updated, my dad’s Rosenort Credit Union account number is still 2199-0.

God Bless,

Cory

I made a progress bar to show how much I still need for the Trip to Germany. It isn’t as easy as I thought to get the dough together but I know and trust God will provide. If your interested in making that bar go all red (I don’t mean to beg), my dad’s Rosenort Credit Union account number is 2199-0. Tax returns were an option but it’s really complicated.

Blessings,

Cory

God’s way doesn’t = our way. It’s a proven and undisputed fact of life. Yet again and again our concept of God is that he is and thinks like us… In my case he’s been using kids and adolescents quite frequently to show me that He is awesome. (or like a good friend of mine said, “you think you know God and then he gives you kids”)

God somehow found a way for me to be on a plane to Germany on July 3rd. It’s all the Lucero Youth Camps fault, really, this year the Music-team (which I wasn’t involved in at the time) hit it off awesomely with the Camp Speaker, and he invited them all to come play in a few camps in Germany this July… We thought he was joking. We thought wrong. God’s way again. Now I have basically paid my ticket with my parents dollars, which I fully intend and will somehow pay them back (God’s way). Oh, and yeah, in case you were wondering I am fully part of the music team (God’s way), doing whatever I can, being it sound, laptops, setting up, dragging gear, praying, etc. not actually playing an instrument, but as one person put it “being the glue”.

Here’s some interesting details:

There are 7 of us going, Silas, Christa, Alan and Eric Braun, Mera and Marcelo Hildebrand (a couple) and your humble glue. I love the people like family and they have all been tools from God that have molded me.

As far as I currently know, were involved in 3 full one-weak long camps, teaching English (that’s the hook with which they bait the youth that come), worship music, counseling and some other stuff we’ll probably only find out about when we get there.

Germany as about 4 weeks of warm summer so I hope we hit ‘em.

It’ll be very intense, main priority is ministering, not pleasure, but I think God’s way will combine those pretty good in the way of getting the most out of these experiences.

Each camp expects around 80 teens in each camp, last year they had 170. I believe they range between 13-17 in age.

We leave from Asunción on July 3rd and return August 3rd.

You may leave comments here on the blog or write me an email if there is anything you want to share, contribute, know, discuss, argue, point out or agree on. Be my guest.

More info should keep appearing on this blog pretty much every week until July, from out there I’ll try to update every few days with pictures…

God Bless,

Cory
