Psalm 66:16 says, "Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul."

We have been so blessed the past few weeks hearing from Doulos and staff who have felt led to share what the Lord has been teaching them. Through their devotionals, we've been encouraged, challenged, and reminded of God's faithfulness. It has been a joy to watch people openly and voluntarily share how God is working in their hearts.

Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

The past few days have been dedicated to serving both around the property and within the local community. Through these opportunities, we're learning that God has uniquely created each of us with a purpose. Whether we're serving at church, working a job, or helping those around us, He has already prepared ways for us to honor Him and impact others. Our role is to faithfully walk in those opportunities, knowing that everything we do can be used for His glory.

The first few days of Doulos 2 have been filled with fellowship, team-building, and plenty of fun! Through games, challenges, and shared experiences, we're learning the importance of working together and supporting one another.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 tells us, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!”

God created us for community—not to walk through life alone. As we've laughed, competed, and grown together, we've seen firsthand that we are stronger, more effective, and better equipped to face challenges when we work as a team and encourage one another. We're thankful for the friendships being formed and excited to see how the Lord continues to work in the lives of these students over the next two weeks!

Doulos 2 is officially underway! Our campers arrived today, and we spent the afternoon getting acquainted through an "Amazing Race"–style scavenger hunt around the ranch. As we begin these next two weeks together, please pray that God would move mightily, draw each person closer to Himself, and do a lasting work in every heart.

We've been enjoying some friendly competition each night before evening teaching. A few favorite games so far have been “Egg, Chicken, Farmer, Jedi,” “Head, Shoulders, Knees, Block,” and “Knight, Rider, Princess.” So much fun!!

What an incredible day! We began with a “Silent Morning,” giving students four uninterrupted hours to spend quietly with the Lord — definitely a challenge and a growth opportunity for many of us!

We wrapped up the day with team-building games and obstacle course challenges that brought lots of energy, laughter, and teamwork. Praise the Lord!!

Some of our favorite Doulos memories are made after the sun goes down.

Each evening is filled with worship, teaching from God's word, and fun activities that bring everyone together.

Over the past few nights, we've enjoyed board games, worship, and smores around the bonfire. These special moments of growing in faith, fellowship, and laughter are part of what make Doulos so memorable.

Colossians 3:23-24 says: "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ."

Over the past couple of days, our Doulos campers have been putting this verse into action by serving faithfully around the property. Through their hard work and willing attitudes, they have been worshiping the Lord by serving others and caring for the property. We are so blessed by their dedication and the example they are setting as they serve Christ in all they do.
