Back in Riga

Today we went to church service and a lot of students came to church.  That was super encouraging.  We said our goodbyes to the Latvian church team, the interns and the students one final time.  We then made the journey back to Riga where we will spend our two remaining days before coming home.

One of the important aspects of a trip like this is to spend time debriefing the week.  Emotions are running high from the joy of relationships built with students to exhaustion from a busy week.  As the team begins to process the trip for themselves personally we want to hear what challenged, what encouraged and just hear about their impressions of camp.

Tomorrow we will begin that process of debriefing with our team and Josiah Venture staff.  An experience like this takes time to process and so I will have a deeper debrief in a coup of weeks once we all settle back into our schedules because we will each be feeling different emotions at different times and the Lord will help us process the trip as we seek what the Lord would have us do after a trip like this.

We will then spend some time celebrating the camp and do some sight seeing.  The weather may make some of that a challenge since it looks like we will be in for a couple of rainy days.  We are in the final stretch of the trip and would ask you to keep lifting us up in prayer for health, rest and safety.
