Forge Speaker Nathan Burd shared a powerful update from Camp IdRaHaJe (“I’d Rather Have Jesus”), where he’s had the privilege of speaking three times.
This year, God continued to move mightily—bringing life, vision, and mission to students through both one-on-one conversations and group messages. Nathan spoke often on laborership and how God can use anyone for His Kingdom purposes. In response, students stepped forward saying, “I want to be a laborer,” and “I want to carry the gospel overseas,” while others said they felt called to support those who go. God is clearly raising up more Kingdom Laborers through camps like these—and your prayers are making it possible. Thank you for standing in the gap!

Hey Forge family, Nathan here. Hope you guys are doing well. Just wanted to say thank you so much for your prayers. God has been moving powerfully this summer. I’m sure you’re hearing all different kinds of reports from various speakers about all the things that God is doing. It’s incredible to see.
This last week, I was at IdRaHaJe, which is a camp short for I’d Rather Have Jesus. It’s the third time I’ve had the opportunity to speak there, and I saw God continue to move, breathe, and give life to students. It’s so cool.
There were lots of great one-on-one conversations, as well as tons of speaking opportunities where I shared about laborership and mission, and how God can use anybody for His Kingdom purposes. I continually saw students committing to say, “I want to be a laborer,” “I want to share the gospel,” “I want to carry the gospel overseas,” and “I want to support others who are going overseas.” Just incredible.
So, thank you so much for your prayers. Thank you for the work that you do. What a joy it is to partner with you all.
Hope you guys have a great rest of your day. God bless.
