Almost 25 years ago Camilla and I arrived in St Louis as college freshman. The work that God has done in our lives through this city and the work of InterVarsity is profound.
We are so grateful for the hundreds of people who have intersected and impacted our lives in this period. Over the last several months I have reflected about God’s work in us during this time. One practice in the Old Testament, most notably in Joshua, is marking God’s work by placing stones of remembrance. Both in the physical work of it and in the visible reminder we are aided in remembrance and retelling.
In June I walked in places of deep significance in my walk with God in St Louis and left stones of remembrance. Places like the apartment I accepted the Isaiah 6 call, the streets of Ferguson where I heard in a profound way the cries of the oppressed, and the campus of Harris Stowe where I encountered God’s direction in deep ways.
If you did a similar walk, where would you go to place a stone of remembrance?
