Fall Training Commences, God is Good!

Hey y'all, it's Mairin- the American has made it successfully home in Canada, and I am so grateful to be back with my NET office family! Just as I returned, NET Ministry's fall training was about to begin, and on Wednesday it officially kicked off beautifully!

I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, as if I were in whirl-wind of emotions going from saying good bye to my family, enduring a 22 hour drive from Minnesota to Ottawa, and jumping into work and ministry again with the Massive Worship Team, who have been together without me for the past 4 weeks! But just last night I felt an amazing transformation, and God has been so faithful to give me what I need to lead and to love. Listening to the Massive Worship Team lead us all in worship stirred up in my heart a renewed passion and excitement for ministry, and I can only say that God is good and He has great plans for each of us, and for the thousands of youth these new Netters and Massive Worship musicians will encounter!

Today was the first full day we've had at camp, and it rained all day. Though, that didn't dampen any spirits! One of the great highlights of today was listening to some very talented and humble Netter songwriters belt out their creations, with no inhibitions, in front a gathering crowd of eager listeners. I love hearing the awesome talents of the men and women who come on NET every year, and it can only mean that the sharing of their gifts will produce a very fruitful year of ministry. Another highlight of the day was Matt Fradd's talk and testimony on Our Lady. He linked

Old Testament to New in helping us to better realize how incredible Mary is, how blessed we are to have a Queen Mother who intercedes for us and humbly points us to Christ, and he even challenged us to go to Mary by praying the rosary daily. Mary was the greatest evangelist and perfect disciple of Christ. We look to her as our example! Honoring Mary tonight was the best way to end another great day at training. Praise Him!
