Last Night

This is my son Caleb. He is entering his second year at Mount Zion in Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Mount Zion was started by David Wilkerson and is a school of ministry that equips young people to be Missionaries, then sends them to the far reaches of the world.

This summer Caleb has been interning at Family Christian Center in Sylvania where he has been assisting Pastor Mark Mylek in an outreach to Woodside Terrace in Holland on Monday nights.

He's also been an intern at Cherry Street Mission Ministries this summer on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. He's been assisting Chaplain Ernest Jackson, learning how to serve and minister at the same time.

Last night Caleb was scheduled to speak at the Ministry Hour at our Madison Street facility and asked if I would be there - I'm thinking wild horses couldn't keep me from going. What a wonderful message he presented! One of the cool things he said to the one hundred or so men and women assembled that night was; "When I come back here next summer, I don't want to see any of you still here." WOW! What a powerful statement of faith.

I'll tell you what else that statement does - it inspires faith to the rest of us. What must we do to complete his statement of faith? Can we see what this young man sees as possible? What attitude does this level of faith foster in our work and service towards others?

Thanks Caleb!
