Sunday morning (July 8th) my oldest daughter Carly and I head for Odder, Denmark on a new mission, Andrea and Jessi will be staying home as we fly off to the Chaos.
Denmark, along with much of the world is a truly post-Christian zone. Most Danish people and especially younger people will never enter a church or engage Jesus. Example: We had a Danish girl over last month who shared she wasn't sure why a young person would ever go into a church other than for a wedding. We will serve the local church and Youth for Christ in helping to raise up a new generation of young Jesus- followers.
I will be traveling with 17 of my students and the amazing Chris Gudnason to help Youth For Christ Denmark put on a big sheeebang called Danish Oasis. We will spend the first week setting up circus tents, building bridges, walkways and basically assist in building the encampment for the 2500-3000 Danish people that will attend the event. The second week our team will lead ministry for 250+ middle schoolers in one of the huge tents, the one parked waaaay out by the city sewer system - pandemonium will ensue. I love pandemonium!
Youth for Christ has set up a website that will have pictures and updates throughout the trip - tune in and check up on the fun. I will have internet access and will be updating this blog on Sacred Digital with my pictures, stories and impressions from Denmark as well. Keep us in your prayers!
