Comin' Home...

It's great to have teams starting to arrive back here. We picked up 2/3 of the Vancouver UGM Team yesterday (Scott stayed on the Mainland) and listened for hours to their stories and impressions of what God so clearly did there. And part of the Ucluelet team dropped in this afternoon, but we only got a snapshot of their amazing experience on the West Coast.

Which all reminds me how important it is for students to TALK about their experiences. I know we will do this among students and staff in the days ahead. But I strongly urge you to take the time to tell/listen to the stories as a way of processing what has happened here. There have been some life-changing experiences, and memories and images that will shape students for years to come. Life should not go on as always after this, and one way to integrate these new-found perspectives and faith stories is to talk about them with anyone who will listen.

So please talk, and please listen! And let's keep praying for those still out on the front lines.
