The camp is quiet now with only the sounds of the crickets chirping and the frogs in the pond croaking. The full moon peaks through the high altitude clouds, lighting up the whole sky. Yet less than three hours ago, your children were singing at the top of their lungs in praises to the One is without comparison. How they have so much energy to run around all afternoon and then worship God with such enthusiasm is something I'll never understand. One thing that we did learn in tonight's chapel from Arol was that we need to be Jesus to those around us, to show His love and to be "ready to explain" to others the hope we have in Him.
Our theme verse for this week, 1 Peter 3:15 expresses that exactly. Our goal this week is to explain that hope to the campers who do not yet know it and to equip those that already do, the means to share it with those around them.
Keep praying for us -tomorrow is a very long day that begins with our camp picture before breakfast. I'll post more tomorrow.
