Tuesday Night Update

July 27, 2010 at 8:18 pm (Summer Camp, Uncategorized)

The internet has been up and down here and so the updates have not been as frequent as we were hoping for.   So our apologies for the lack of updates…

Today was great!  The weather was a little cooler than yesterday which was nice.  The weather was still up in the high 80’s, but the cloud cover made it feel cooler than yesterday.

We just finished up our evening session for tonight and Dave is doing a great job teaching God’s word to your students. Tonight we looked at corruption and how sin, no matter how big or small, separates us from God.  Although the idea of sin and being set apart from God’s holiness is a well known sunday school story for many of our students, Dave did an incredible job with painting this concept in a whole new way for our students.  You will have to ask your kids about “the chili dog talk” when you see them later this week.

Right now the students are in their cabins talking about separation and how Satan uses that as his game-plan, whereas God’s plan is all about reuniting and repairing.   Be praying that the Spirit will guide these conversations and work on the hearts of both students and leaders as they share tonight and tomorrow morning on this topic.

So many questions about God and His epic story have been asked that thursday morning we will be having a campwide Q&A with our speaker where students will be able to ask him any question they have.   It’s been neat to see the light bulb come on for many of the students and begin to question why they believe what they believe or how do they know they are saved.  These are great questions that we often as adults wrestle with as well.

God is good and His Spirit is doing a great work in their hearts and it is so exciting to witness this transformation as they continue to learn to live and think like Jesus.

    Thanks for the great updates. Sounds like God is really working there at camp! Praise God for that! Any chance you are able to post more pictures or even videos? If possible, that would be great! Thanks, and thank you for being there for our kids! We appreciate all the staff and counselors who are giving their time and energy.

    From Rockaway Beach: Hello to the Stout’s and all their camper counselors and friends. Your oldest and youngest are having a ball with ol’ Opa and Oma! Got one crab so far, we’ve been swimming, going to a movie tomorrow.
    The kids were wonderful as we spent several hours with details for Grandma Lovedy; they got 30 more tadpoles….you’re going to have frogs legs for dinner soon…

    Love you and miss you; see you Saturday. Mom and ALL
