Our Last Sala

 
On Friday morning, we had the privilege along with the team from Washington to put on Sala (the morning chapel with all the staff and the houses before the rest of the day gets started). All week, we had been so very blessed to hear the kids from different houses on different days give testimonies of praise to the Lord and to what He had done in their lives during their recent time away at a Christian camp for youth. As with kids anywhere you go, some had much to say and were very open and vulnerable with what God had showed them and was teaching them, while others had very little to say. But, for those that did share, it was such a huge 
blessing and challenge to hear about some of their personal stories and how God had brought the anger and pain from their past to the surface for them to face. Then many of them shared how God opened their eyes through different sessions at camp and/or different people both from the camp and FFHM to how much He does love them and wants to heal the hurt and help them forgive and rise above their past and be able to move forward!
 
So when our time came to be able to share with them and with the staff of the ministry, we wanted to be a blessing and to continue to proclaim our thanks to God for his amazing love and our thanks to the kids and staff that had blessed us far more this week than we could've ever blessed them!! Some of our team was able to lead in worship, while others were able to share testimonies of how much the week had meant, how impacted they were, and how much they were going to miss everyone when we go home. God has worked in many ways this week, and we hope to be able to share with all of you when we come back!! Even though we need to come back home, we will be carrying FFHM, the ministry and the people, in our hearts as we return!
