Wake Up! Day 3

After a good night's sleep, the campers were raring to go this morning. Your emails have been pouring in and so we passed them out after breakfast. This morning's chapel gave us a chance to "Rise and Sing" and "Get Down" as Jesus "lifts me up" as we learn to trust Him "Everyday". Later, Arol spoke on "How to train your brain" as he shared from 1 Timothy 4:6-10. You can train your brain by: 1. Reading your Bible with your imagination and a pen, 2. Listening to the world around you, but 3. Checking what you hear with the Word of God. "In a world full of confusion, the Bible trains me to see both the truth and the lies all around me." These messages may come from people at school or at home or even from other Christians. However, falsehoods fizzle when they meet the truth of God and His Word. Jim shared the Gospel after Arol was done and several campers prayed to make Jesus their Savior and Lord right then.
Thank you for your prayers; God is working even now as the students are in their Walk the Talk sessions where they learn practical applications of their faith to life.
This afternoon will be very busy with all our activities plus preparing for tonight's Talent Show; it will be interesting to see what's in store for us then. Later...

Sounds like a mighty important lesson from Arol! How wonderful that he was able to come again. Continuity means a lot! As far as some of the kids accepting Christ? Amen to that! That's AWESOME! Ann, you would tell me if it were one of mine, right??? Not expecting *that* anytime soon....but, the Lord works in strange and mysterious ways!! Thanks for the update!
