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....
