All yesterday I had felt very convicted to talk with one of the girls here at camp about God, but every time I set aside time to talk to her she either wasn't to be found or wanted to do something else. Finally, thanks to God, at about 10:45 I was able to get time with her alone. When I got around to asking her how she felt about God she told me that she believed He was real and that Jesus died for her sins, but that she was afraid to commit her life to God because she thought it would be very painful and hard, and also that she wasn't good enough yet. We were able to talk about some of her misconceptions and in the end she made the decision to pray to ask God to be her Savior. Her amazement at God's grace and forgiveness was an encouraging reminder of how good our God is. God's swift work in her life just amazes me; He is so faithful and gracious, and I am grateful to Him that I was allowed to be part of His work.

Callie, thanks so much for sharing - it gave me tears of joy and chills of awe. The Deetjen's are praying w/o ceasing for y'all - for physical health, spiritual and emotional strength, safety, protection from enemy oppression and for open hearts of those who hear about Jesus from you! Praying that God would tear down language barriers and the language of love would speak loud and clear by the Holy Spirit's power! Rebecca, we're missing you and excited at what the Father is accomplishing thru you and the team - we are so proud of you all and your hearts of love service to God, the Clowdus family, the Austrian youth - believers and non-believers alike! God bless and keep you. Mrs. Deetjen
