High School Camp - Day 4

There are some moments that God gives you that you cannot plan or contain.  This week we have experienced several of those moments this week!  So far 8 students have given their lives to Christ.  Several more have made significant decisions to move forward in the faith and living on mission.  If students follow through on the commitments they are making, we will see a Revolution in our midst at home. 

Worship tonight was God-saturated.  Students were singing praises with a freedom and abandon that demonstrated what God was doing in their hearts.  They were listening intently to God's Word preached from our speaker, Matt Petty.  He challenged students to walk through the crises of belief that life is sure to bring and trust Jesus Christ.  There was movement throughout the evening and students did business with God!

Please join us for the Celebration Service at 6pm tomorrow (Friday) night in the Chapel.  It is a great moment to see the lives that have been changed and expereince a little bit of what God has done in these High School students' lives.

Pray that God would use these last few hours to continue the momentum of His moving!

High School Camp - Day 3

We are having a blast here in Daytona Beach!  The sun is beautiful, the water is sparkling, and the students are soaking in God's truth.  Morning Celebration was upbeat and students got to hear from our Senior Pastor, Kevin Miller.  He encouraged the students to remember that when they get home and it gets difficult to live out their commitments, they need to rely on the Lord.  Using the story of Jehoshaphat, he encouraged students to not give up in living for Jesus.

This afternoon, we held the first High School Camp Dodgeball Tournament! 


The competition was awesome! 
Students competed against other Rec teams and BROUGHT IT!



They worked on a rotation, playing every team before the competition was over.
Night 3 of Worship was incredible, yet again!  There's such energy and excitement in the room each night.  Tonight students were challenged by our speaker with two questions:

Are you in a position to listen to God?  What are you willing to give up?

Using the story of Elijah and the widow, he showed how giving sacrificially can make a world of difference.  God is really challenging our students and working on hearts.

Keep praying!  Tomorrow night Matt will be sharing the Gospel message again.  Pray for lives to be changed and students to come home ready to live for Jesus and change the student culture in our community!

High School Camp - Day 2

It has been an incredible Day Two here in Daytona Beach, FL!  We know God is working on hearts and lives here. Already we have had students respond to God in giving their lives to Him, answering God's call to ministry, and in confessing sin.  

We started the day with Quiet Times out on the beach and pool deck.  Students spent time diving into God's word and prayer.  Afterward, we kicked off our morning celebration.  There is a lot of fun and freedom in these services with efforts to get our students going in the mornings.

Afterward, students went to Breakouts on a variety of topics: Family, Relationships, Making A Difference in Culture, and Missions.  Students are soaking in wisdom from some of Hebron's own leaders as they lead these sessions and use God's Word to speak to these issues.

After lunch we dove into recreation.  The theme was around the idea of team building to get our Rec Team growing together and building relationships.  The sun was up and the weather was hot, but the students competed with great attitudes and a lot of heart.

Students enjoyed a little free time on the beach this afternoon.  After getting cleaned up and enjoying some dinner together we jumped into evening worship.

Eric Yeldell and band are leading these students to God in songs of praise.  There is an awesome energy in the room as students connect with their heavenly Father.  Matt Petty brought a powerful message on "Starting A Revolution". Through the story of Nehemiah, Matt gave the following steps to starting a revolution...
Sell Out, Pray, and Move.

Right now, students are in Family Groups discussing what God is doing in their lives.  We'll be bowling tonight...

Please continue to pray that God would break down walls in the lives of our students so they would give Him full control in their lives.  Pray that students would continue to respond to God's leading.

Thanks for reading and praying!

Worship Time!

Just a glimpse of the excitment taking place in our worship services every night this week! It's time for a REVOLUTION!!!

High School Camp Day 1

Today was very full, but fantastic day!  Students did awesome as we made the 9 hour trip down to Daytona Beach.  Shortly after arriving they piled into elevators and headed up to their rooms where they found thier T-shirt, Water Bottle, Camp book and even candy waiting for them on their beds!  Their fridge was stocked with everything they would need for breakfast and summer camp had officially begun!

Excitement filled the air as the doors were finally opened at 7:30 and students were allowed to enter into the Ballroom for worship!  We started the service with a few fun games, already bringing comradery to the rec teams -- they are so excited to compete against one another in our Luau later tonight!  They'll be competing in a limbo tournament, a ring toss games, and even a "bury the pig" competition.  During our worship service, Eric Yeldell did an incredible job of leading our students through worship, and Matt was crystal clear in his message to our students about defining their own perception of God.  Matt quoted A.W. Tozer, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us" and students were challenged to develop their own perception of who God is, which in turn inevitably determines how they live for Him. Many students made decisions during the invitation and many of those chose to follow Christ for the first time.  Amen!
Keep praying!  God is at work here already and is gearing up to do incredible things this week!    A Revolution has already begun and Dacula and our world will never be the same because of what is happening here!
"These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also!"

Acts 17:6B

Until tomorrow....
