Only two more days left. This morning project had Return Training with John Saunders, Charlie Brooks, and Eric Lonergan. They emphasized the importance of being intentional with their down time as they prepare for the coming term. Later tonight, they are eating out as rooms for the last time. During the final Campus Time, disciples ate subs and played games liek signs, kickball, and the human knot. After that, they had the opportunity to share with others about what they had learned over project and pray together.
the count down 45.08.23
Yesterday disciples enjoyed their last campus time. It was a neat time to share how and on what areas God has been working throughout SBP. As for today, in a few hours project is gonna be having one of the last meetings from 10 to 12 pm, "Return Training." Keep praying for these last meetings and last hours of project. Pray that disciples will have the energy to finish strong.
