It was hard to leave Oak Glen this morning to return to the "real" world of our regular lives. We wished for one more worship song, one more encouraging word from Arol, the opportunity to be in close fellowship with other believers, hearing their testimonies and sharing our lives. This is perhaps a glimpse of what heaven will be like - praising God in the company of saints, never to leave the presence of God Himself or of one another. Our week was about being honest, honest with God, honest with ourselves and honest with other people in such a way that we are able to tell our story to those who don't know the Savior. Some people sincerely believe that being good, being religious or being part of a church will somehow make them right with God. But this is impossible, none of us are righteous enough to merit God's favor. Instead people are dead and can only be raised to new life by the Holy Spirit. It is this new life in Jesus that we and the campers proclaim. Many of them entered in to this life during the course of this week, pray for them as well as those who re-dedicated themselves to following Christ wholeheartedly. In the 359 days ahead of our next camp, there will be many challenges to living our faith, but with God's help, we "can do all things" through God who strengthens us. See you next year.
P.S. Look forward to more pictures being posted over the next several days. You can also visit some of the photo pages of our Lightseekers' Camp Facebook friends.
