One day recently, my youngest son saw a man getting out of his truck and was amazed at the "new" and "cool" thing he saw in the man's truck. He said he had a "cool" handle in the door of his truck that he could turn and the truck window would go up or down. I laughed so hard, as I realized my son had never been in a vehicle that did not have power windows.

My son is so accustomed to having power windows that he did not know how to live without it. I hope that as a he grows up, he will grow just as accustomed to the power of God in his life that he will not know how to live without it. May he always recognize the power of our living God at work in him and around him, and may he always live in the fullness of that power.

I also hope that every believer who has experienced the greatness of the power of God, would also live in the power of the Lord and never attempt to live in our own power. May it surprise us to see someone attempting to live without that power and may we always be grateful for the difference God's power makes in our lives each day.

Preparing for God to move

As Spring Break week approaches, the anticipation and excitement are on the rise. There are already over 300 children (grades 1-6) pre-registered for Champs Camp and we are expecting many more to register on Monday. Tomorrow we will see college students from 6 universities from all over Texas arriving to begin their week in Harlingen. Sunday will be a day of training for all the college students and the many volunteers from FBC Harlingen. The weekend will be busy, preparing for a great week of ministry and evangelism.

This is our 12th year for Champs Camp at FBC Harlingen; a great sports camp that includes 12 sporting events (including bowling, gymnastics, karate, football, baseball, tennis, golf, etc.), as well as great worship, bible study, and craft times. Several churches, local businesses and the city of Harlingen partner with FBC Harlingen to care for the children of Harlingen, while many of their parents are working during Spring Break. It is one more way, we show our community how much we love them and love their children - sacrificially and passionately.

Please join us in praying for the many families that will be a part of this great event. Pray for the children and their parents. Pray for the college students and leaders as they travel and work long hours each day. Pray for the many volunteers who will sleep little, work hard, and love passionately - all week.

We are anticipating a great move of God and expecting many lives to be changed - if God's people pray.
