Malibu Update #3

For our 3rd week, it started off with a tough break. Elsewhere in Young Life there was something urgent that came up and one of our Head Leaders, Ann, had to leave immediately.  She happens to be the VP of Human Resources for YL and is a mission-wide 'on call' crisis person. Her absence resulted in us being a person down on our team. This is during our largest week so far with 350 campers.  We had to think fast.  Yesterday, AS this was going down, I got in touch with "pro" Head leaders Lori Hein and Heather Hoglund from back home. Both said yes but Heather felt like she had the full "green light" from the Lord to come. So...in a matter of hours, she caught a sea plane and landed at Malibu this morning around 11am, during the regatta water events on the inner dock.  We gave her a hug and handed her her schedule and her head leader radio/walkie-talkie. She jumped right in to help us carry the weight of leading all these leaders and kids.  And...she was also RIGHT on time for our a-team and family excursion to Chatterbox Falls, a top ten 'most beautiful places' in the world to visit by boat. God answered our prayers LIGHTNING fast with Heather coming!  Thank you Lord.  Excited to see what God will do this week!  Join us in prayer.
