Its official! The Passed Thru Fire Experience Ver 4.3 has been completed!

We started with 19 boys and 19 dads 10 weeks ago, and ended the event with 15 dads and 15 boys all excited and desperately seeking rest and recovery time.

Every time we run this event I am left in awe of God's faithfulness and provision... Yes some have walked away with more questions than answers, but at least they are questioning. questions mean there is hope, and since God is faithful, he will provide the answers.

A few things I have been left with though is that alot of our sons are "mothered". So many boys are left in this world without basic life skills. All too often parents do so much for their chuildren out of love, but in the end this does more hard than good. We need to bring about a time of not so much "doing" for our children, but more a thing of showing and walking alongside. Instead we dive in and do it ourselves as we are not sure our boys would cope with the tast at hand and would rather have it done right the first time than tried and screwed up. Is failure not part of learning?

What has impressed me the most is fathers true desire to be good men in their sons lives and ultimatemately be good fathers. We keep saying to them: Be the man you wish your son to become". and indeed these dads are doing the best to become that man, even more so to become "King, Priest and Prophet" in their own homes.

A significant side effect of the Experience can be summed up by a verse in Malachi 4 whihc says: "In the end, the hearts of father will be turned to their sons and the hearts of sons to their fathers..."
I saw many hearts turn over the course of the event, and I have been moved ot tears... tears of joy. I got to feel God's heart for us through the hearts of fathers and sons. BLESS THEM!

So... Ver 5 is programmed and ready to roll Dec 2008. What will God bring this time?

If nothing else, it will be a time of our lives.
