DMB

For many people DMB would stand for a world famous band known for amazing acoustic guitar work and creativity...but for us, for today it stand for Dead Man's Basin. And as strange as that sounds we are really, really excited to go. DMB is closest place you can go to waterski and inner tube. We have invited any of the kids from the town that want to come and have even acquired a school bus to get them there!

We get to spend at least 10 hours with kids from Roundup in one day. We'll be playing, talking, praying, singing, and doing our best to model Jesus as we go crazy. In a normal week I will spend about 2 hours with any particular student and I try to make the most of my time, but it's still not much. In one day, our entire team will get to spend 5 times the weekly average. It's an amazing opportunity.

The gospels tells us that Jesus spent a lot of time around the disciples and that changed their lives. We are trying to care for people like Jesus does.

Prayer Requests:
- Safety: we are going on the water and will be driving for a while. Please pray that we are safe in all we do.
- Connections: this is a great opportunity to connect that we all need to take full advantage of.
- Boldness: the students in Roundup know why we're here and they know what we believe. Pray for boldness for our students to extend invitations to their friends to follow Jesus.

in His grip,

Jared
