It's been a great day.
Started off this morning with another AM session on our "Happy" series. We looked again at the words of Jesus in the Beatitudes, specifically on the impact our relationship with God needs to have in how we relate to the people He placed in our lives. Our students were challenged to REMEMBER what Jesus did for them and to be willing to offer the same treatment to the relationships in their lives. The happy life is a life that's right with God and right with people. (Matt 5:9, 23-24; 22:37-39; 18:21-22)
At 10:30 AM we took off to ropes, had a blast. Then, off to water rec.
Our Breakouts continued in the afternoon.
Great evening service with James Patrick Morgan and the band. Chad brought the Word again and spoke about the power of influence that we all have. A God we love, should be a God we talk about. Chad spoke about boldness in sharing our story. Christ's love compels us to SPEAK - 2 Cor 5:14. By the end of tonight we had ONE MORE that came to Jesus. One more!!! How awesome is that!!!
We're now in Family Groups till 10 PM. At 10, we'll be heading to our late night event - the awesome bonfire with smores and lemonade. Everyone will start packing tonight and get ready for departure which is estimated by 11:30 tomorrow. If all goes as planned, we should be able to be back at church by 4 PM. Please pray for our safe return. Pray for lasting life change in the hearts of our amazing students.
One more session in the morning as we wrap up Camp Advance. I'll be speaking about Going against the Flow (Matt 5:10-12) Students will be challenged to stand up and stand out for what is right even when they are standing alone.
Good night :)
