Well we are entering the home stretch of camp now, and, I must say, the mountain walking is wearing all of us down physically. However, I fully believe that our group is really starting to grasp more of what it means to follow Christ and love one another. In listening to our group talks, I really see and yearning in our students eyes to experience true community. The commitment is not one to be taken lightly and I think that your kids are beginning to understand the importance of living life with fellow believers. One thing that I really appreciate is the cohesiveness of the entire camp program. They are great about using EVERYTHING to reinforce the message. Today's message was about obedience. They illustration used was the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. The key to this was radical obedience to God's instruction. When King Nebuchadnezzar asked these three men "what god is there who can deliver you out of my hands," they responded by telling him that they were going to be obedient NO MATTER WHAT! They assured the king that their God was powerful enough to deliver them. However, they said, "But even if He does not, let it be know to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up." This message was, obviously, hard to swallow but very important to the Christian walk. Continue to pray for us as we learn more about what it looks like to truly follow Christ. Also, keep our physical health and stamina in your prayers. We love you all!
