Night #2

By the way, did I say yet how much I totally appreciate the prayer support you as parents and family and friends have given us while we are here at camp.  God is working and your prayers are vital to us seeing lives transformed even hour by hour.  Please keep it up!

Just to give you a head’s up.  We just finished our leader’s meeting and a big topic of conversation was how the students are worshipping.  It’s really hard when we see an enthusiasm that seems more about being hyper than about being excited in a genuine way about the Lord.  How we handle it and how God’s Spirit changes the hearts and lives of the students and leaders remains to be seen, but please pray for us to have wisdom.  We don’t want to do anything that will diminish the enthusiasm.  But, we want to show these kids how to focus worship on the Lord who made us to be worshippers!

Tonight’s message will be on Goliath and David and how to slay the monster problems in your life.  I’m trusting that these kids will see how David had faith on how to deal with small problems long before he ever had the opportunity to confront Goliath.  Kids will get the opportunity to pray with their leader and share with them a fear or problem that they are struggling with.  Pray that they will have the honesty to get real with God and share openly with their leader and allow their leader to intercede for their need.

Well, it’s time for worship and I’m pumped about what God is going to do tonight…
