One of the most meaningful times was the focused prayer Paul and I received on the sailing trip. We started out with a crew of six and ended up being the only “guests” on our boat. A fellow crew member was experiencing kidney stones and our leader accompanied him to the hospital. That left just Paul and me on the boat with our Captain and First Mate. This allowed for more in-depth discussion. They saw this unique circumstance as the Lord’s cue to minister His love to our hearts. We were so blessed as they listened to our dreams, prayed over us and asked God to bless our future family. This personal touch embodied the relational skills we had been learning during the lectures. It was exhibited in living color and we both were blessed by it.
Another meaningful time was gathering for Evening Vespers. God used Vespers to settle our hearts after the busy day and speak to us. We sang hymns, read scripture, shared prayer requests and worshipped in unity. The best part was how the Staff children joined in right along with the adults.
