Canada Pt.1

I can’t believe we are finally here. 12 months of planning and prayer, 19 hours of driving, and a lot of faith and here we are. It still hasn’t sunk in. I’m sure when we wake up in the morning and we are still in Kingston it will finally hit us.

This is a really small camp this week, only 135 campers counting adults, and sadly it is also the last year that M-fuge will be offering international locations. I know that God knew exactly what He was doing by having us come this year, both in having us wait and telling us to come now. There is an amazing urgency behind our work now, knowing that this camp is only here for 2 weeks. What a responsibility and calling!!!

I believe that God has called each and every teenager and adult here and that they are to be commended for answering that call, for whatever reason. Each person here has a purpose and plan and they are supposed to be here.

To let you know about our trip here, after all was said and done Sunday, the trip to Warren, MI took about 13 hours. We arrived at the church and unloaded, went to find some food, then came back for bed. We had to make several stops, some of which were caused by a tire with a slow air leak, but that problem will be fixed tomorrow by a mechanic.

Monday morning we were supposed to leave at 6, but trying to find air for the tire kept us until 7. A quick breakfast and more adventures for air put us to 8:30 getting to the border crossing, which was no sweat and took about 10 minutes. The drive to Kingston, though, is another story.

Most of what we saw early today was flat farmland with just a few houses or stops. It wasn’t until after lunch that we got our first look at Lake Ontario and major cities like Mississauga and Toronto. We arrived at the college at about 3:45 and now here we are. To finish up, here are some pics from the last two days:
