What a Long, Strange Trip it's Been (lyrics by Jim Morrison)

We have all made it safely to the point of beginning our journey back to MN from the far side of the world. Yesterday was a good day of fun, rest, and relaxation - for me it was a good time of revisiting old hangout places that have been much missed. Unfortunately, there is no time to get into any detail about the ways in which God has worked so immensely in each of our lives over the past 16 days. Each individual has their own story to tell and their own ways of expressing their experiences - frankly, it's not my place to rob them of that opportunity to share those things with you. What I can tell you is that there have been revelations, struggles, tears of joy, tears of heartache, old friendships revisited and new friendships formed; most of all, God has been realized by many and shared with even more. Keep us in your prayers as we begin our long journey back from the far side of the world. There will be stories to tell, pictures to share, and transformed hearts to witness upon our return. Thank you for all you have done in contributing to what God has been at work doing in and through each of us. We look forward to sharing these things with you one-on-one as well as at our report-back at Wooddale on July 29.
