Camping with God

You might think I'm joking. But I'm not. A group of friends that God has brought together felt invited by God to go camping with Him August 29th.

This week we have done a partial fast for breakfast and lunch (beverages but no food) and have met together at lunch to pray. Wednesday morning Brenda (in second pic with me) and I went to the campsite to set up one of the tents. Because it is a holiday weekend we wanted to set up early. After setting up the tent we walked around the site and prayed. God was already there preparing for us while we were at home preparing for Him.

Then on Thursday we went back out there to set up the other tent and Becca (the one taking these pictures with her camera phone) was able to meet us there to help. Again, after we were done we walked around the site and prayed. Then we met up between the picnic tables and prayed together. You could feel God's presence and then He blessed us tremendously by baptizing Brenda in the Holy Spirit. We are all so excited to spend time with God in this different way. And to spend time with each other. This tent is facing the river. It's back is to the road.
There's a slight chance of rain.
Our picnic area. It's surrounded by trees so it's kinda private.
The back of our tent. The front faces the picnic tables, the road is to the right, and the river is to the left.
Please pray for us, our children (who will not be camping), and the unknown campers that might experience the presence of God.
