Just a thought from Kent

Have you ever had the feeling that you are a part of some thing that is bigger then you. That is how I have been feeling through the last several days here as we have been working with others at the CCI Romania Camp Directors Institiute. I feel it every time that I talk to anyone here I feel as though ministry is so much bigger than me. When I am dead it will still be here and it was here before I was born. I feel that I have been blessed and honored with the chance that God has given me to be a part of his plan. While I have been here I have felt as though I have been with family; I truly do not know how this is possible. I mean if you look at this from a realistic point of view you would say that there is no real reason that I will ever see any of these people again but for some reason I have found everyone rather easy to talk to, even with the language barrier. I have felt like I was talking to one of my closest friend when I was talking to some of the camp directors. I have also felt like a massive family when we were in the middle of a snow ball fight that included an Orthodox Priest. It even felt like a true family event when we were trying to help push a van full of our new found friends up a hill so that they could leave and go home. It reminds me of the book of Mark where it says that any one who is doing the work of God is in the same Family. After this there is no doubt in my mind that this is true. Please remember the continue to pray for the camps in Romania.
