During the summer, Dani and I oversee the Young Adult School of Prophets program at Shiloh. We work very closely with our spiritual parents, Gary and Marilyn Hargrave, as well as with our staff and dorm leaders.
These young men and women take time off to come and help us for two weeks and it is an honor and privilege to be training them.
As I watched them arrive this year, it moved me to see their willingness to forget about themselves for those two weeks and focus 100% on creating an atmosphere for the younger ones to deepen their relationship with the Lord and the Scriptures.
What a privilege it is for people at such a young age to have a training ground to become the best spouses and parents the world has ever seen! As dorm leaders, they learned to handle stress, to be accountable; they were able to reach in to God and grow in love, and to exercise kindness and patience while sharing a dorm with six younger kids with way more energy than they have. They learned to keep their hearts open and they all had a lot of fun doing this. I think they will go home and sleep for a week after this experience!
They came ready to give, but they are the ones who probably received the most. That’s the principle of God. In our ministering, He ministers to us.
Dani and I send all our love and appreciation to everyone who made the Young Adult School of Prophets happen this summer. Thank you!
