This past week, I had the opportunity to be the camp pastor for Mission Serve in Longmont. The camp focused on meeting needs of local nonprofits and home owners, along with ministering to children at local centers. There were 120 participants from six states. We were able to see three children come to Christ and many needs met.

The focus of the worship time during the week was denying self, taking up your cross and following Jesus. We began the week by focusing on Peter’s denial of Jesus and Jesus restoring Peter after the resurection. Then we looked at Jesus’ final words of warning to the disciples the night of his arrest about the hate of the world and how we can deny the world through His love. Tuesday we dove into the hard discussions Jesus had with 3 people about following him. The last night we considered if we should deny man or God?

These are all things that God challenged us with as we prayed about church planting in Denver. It was a great challenge and encouragement, as we move from finishing up the residency to relocating to Lowry where it becomes reality. As we seek to deny the things of man and live as God would have us, join us in the adventure of following God.
