This morning--after an interesting night's sleep on the bus--started with a quick breakfast and worship. Kemtal Glasgow (one of our speakers and Director of the Ministry Team and ATF, as well as our resident Canadian) not only awakened our bodies but also our spirits with a very powerful and vigorous message on building faith. A short prayer time followed for the teens who would be coming, as well as for all the interns and the work they would be doing (needless to say, the best way to start your day!).
As far as our 'interesting night' went, this is assumed to be one of many: Our fearless Popejoy gallantly answered a knock on our bus door at approximately 3 am (for the sake of our weary bodies, which were in desperate need of sleep) to find a homeless man. Pope listened to the man for a few moments, as he talked about his life, his family, and his plight, and then handed him $5 Canadian. The shock of the whole night came to our young Aspen when she answered the door in the first place, finding someone who wasn't on our team standing at the foot of the stairs, and promptly shutting the door in his face in fright (again to be answered by Pope). All ended well, as it would seem, and we were allowed our sleep again.
Our School of Worship band is currently on stage practicing 'Surrounded', a song written specifically for the Encounter Tour. The prevailing opinion is that it sounds better live, whereas the recorded version may remind one just slightly of the 80's. Other music being performed here this year will include Manafest, Everyday Sunday, TFK, and Unhindered, with a special performance by Stephanie Smith (We also have a guest singer somewhere in the showers; their performance starts approximately when the day ends).
More to come!
