All Good Things Must Come To An End

The conference came to a close tonight with a prayer rally.  We heard from J.D. Greear.  He challenged us from Ephesians 2:10 to follow God, allowing him to do great things through.  Then we had a prayer and communion time.  Francis Chan closed the evening by reminding us that with God's power we can remain faithful until death.  Earlier in the day a few of us toured the Mormon Temple Square.  We listened as two missionaries shared their faith.  We realized that these missionaries had no real hope of salvation.  Their hope was that they would be good enough to enter heaven but if not they could enter a spiritual place from where they could potentially earn a spot in heaven if they worked real hard.  We are grateful that we have Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith who for the joy set before him endured the cross that we would have certain eternal life.

 

We leave Friday at 4:00 PM and should be in Holdrege around 7:30 Am Saturday.

The boys along with students from Dix Hills EFC on Long Island, NY won the dodge ball tournament.  We learned that New Yorkers are pretty cool even if they do talk a little funny.
