Session 1A...








This first session of 1A could not have been any better. What a great way to start off the summer. I had 7 great kids this past session and was very sad to see them go. Below are some pictures from our campout this past week. We went to Katzuma. This campsite has a lookout. That night we were able to sit on the lookout and watch a storm go by. It was cool to be able to sit with the kids and watch a summer storm go by. The next morning we work up and went back out to the lookout and below are pictures of what we saw. That campout was a powerful reminder of the power of God and all that he has made to us. It was also a great reminder that sometimes we need to take the time in our busy lives to put everything else behind us and just enjoy what God has blessed us with.

This session two of the kids in my cabin made the decision to accept Christ as their Savior for the first time. It was exciting to be to hear this decision from them and be able to have a conversation with them about what it means to give your life to this awesome guy named Jesus. The mission of camp is to “Impact lives for God’s glory through discipleship and adventure.” Many times we will not see the impact we make on a child’s life, but when we do, it’s something special.

This session has been a wet one. We have had to change and adjust plans several times because of heavy rain and thunderstorms. It has kept things interesting but it has been work. I am hoping that next session will be a bit drier.

For the next session, 1B, we will have 8 kids in our cabin. 4 of the kids in the cabin were in my cabin last summer so it’s going to be really cool to see them again and pick up where we left of. Pray for these kids. Pray that they will be impacted this summer and changed. Pray that they will have a good time but at the same time, continue to grow and focus on Jesus.
