This is Christen writing here.... I wanted to share a picture and some stories I am hearing...
The last day of camp the Westgate team got to pass the microphone down and share why they came... easy, right? Simple.... BUT POWERFUL! Here is the word on the street...
"Gringos came to serve US? They spent THEIR money to wash dishes and clean toilets? They loved US without knowing us??" I have now heard about 3 people who came to the closing time, the "say-so" (Let the redeemed of the Lord say so) where testimonies were shared and after hearing Johanna, Marissa and a couple of the guys share a little about what they learned and why they wanted to come, gave their hearts to Jesus. The testimony of Jesus was so real in Westgate peoples' lives that they wanted to know Him too! As I type I have tears rolling down my cheeks... these kids that met Jesus aren't just some kids to me. They are my neighbors and my friends! They are kids who I see daily and now I see with a new light in their eyes!
Westgate, THANK YOU!!! Thank you for giving, for sending, for loving, and for having such a fragrance of Jesus that people want to know him when they are with you guys!!
