RVL at GLM

What an amazing weekend we spent at Gull Lake Ministries (GLM).  I had been waiting 18-20 months for this weekend specifically.  Ray VanderLaan (RVL to his friends) came and spoke on the Kingdom of Heaven.  When Heather and I taught Sunday School to the Sr. High, we went through two studies put out by "That the World May Know" that were taught by RVL.  This was how I became familiar with him and I thought they were extremely beneficial to my understanding of the Scripture.  So when I found out he may be coming to Gull Lake, I was pretty excited about the opportunity to hear him teach in person. 
The sessions were great.  We spent approximately a total of 17 hours listening to his teaching.  He had so much content and still didn't get through everything he would have liked. 
We were fortunate to spend the weekend there with Heather's family (her parents, brothers family and sisters family).  We all met up there on Friday afternoon.  The cousins all had a fun time being together and playing too!
