We woke up to thunder, lightening and rain this morning. It rained all morning long. So heavy at times that water rose within a couple of inches of flooding the boys' cabin. The camp turned on sewage pumps to get the water drained down. That does not mean the SON is not shining brightly. Jesus is present and at work.
The students really seemed to enjoy worship with Ross King and family last night. We posted a short clip of it. We will try to do the same tonight. Pastor Sam Nobles did a great job last night talking about giving God 100%. Worship was followed by small groups with our students. Tucker lead the guys and Elie lead the girls.
They got up this morning for breakfast without much fuss, cabin clean up, quiet time, recreation in the pool with relay races, and they just finished twist and shout (the morning Bible study) and are now at lunch. I have nicknamed this "Chicken Camp" because they serve so much chicken. I bought my own food and am eating lunch in the cabin in a little peace and quiet before we go back for an afternoon fun time and then free time.
The sun has started peeking out, though surf conditions are too rough for swimming. There is a volleyball tournament, several pools, and basketball courts. There is plenty for them to stay busy. I am sure some of our students will want to go to the beach anyway. We will gather for worship again tonight at 7:30 p.m. if you would like to pray specifically. We gather in our cabins at 7:00 p.m. to pray for the evening service before going to worship.
Thank you for all your gifts, prayers, support, and trust to take our students so far from home. It appears to me they are having a blast. Each of our students has been mixed in recreation groups where they are interacting with students from Northside.
We hope to keep you updated with pictures which Connie is diligently posting to Facebook. It sure seems that the students are enjoying themselves and making the best of some challenging weather patterns. The weather is supposed to improve significantly on Wednesday and Thursday. I will post again as I have time and inspiration.
