Okay, I'll just tell the big long story.....As some of you may know, this last week I went to a church camp called Falls Creed here in Oklahoma. It's a really amazing place, you people in Texas, and the other states around here, if you ever get a chance to go, you should. We had a church from Arizona go with us this year, and I met some girls from Louisiana. The tabernacle will hold about 6,000 people, and it was pretty full in there, so I would imagine there were somewhere between 5,000 and 6,000 people there. And out of our group, which was I think 66 people, quite a few people were saved, and on the nights of invitation at the tabernacle the whole floor infront of the stage was crowded with people. And right before each invitation, the preacher guy asked everyone to bow their heads and pray for someone that was at Falls Creek, and we had a feeling they weren't saved, he asked us to pray for them. The first time, I prayed for a girl, she's had a tough life, and she definatly shows it in her attitude. She's kinda mean to people, she's a smart elik, and stuff like that, and we all knew that anything we did or said about it wouldn't help, so we just left her alone about that. But that night she didn't go up for the invitation, but after we are through with the tabernacle services, we go to our cabins and have a devotional with just our church group. She asked Jesus into her life that night at devotional. Then, the next day I over heard a friend talking about another friend, and she said that she wasn't saved. So that night at the tabernacle, I prayed for her to receive Jesus, and sure enough she did go up during invitation. God definatly works his wonders at Falls Creek, there were several others from our church that were saved, a few rededicated, and one guy signed up to be a missionary. And I think that is amazing, because before we left, he was really dreading going to Falls Creek, and on the last night I asked him what he thought of it, and he said he really liked it. For his missionary stuff, it's possible that he could just do stuff in Oklahoma, or All over the U.S., or he could go anywhere in the world, so maybe you guys could pray for him.
