At the beginning of our last full day at Student Life Camp, the Lord is active and moving in our midst. We had a very powerful time of healing and restoration in our church group time last night, the effects of which our ministry will feel for a very long time. Actually, each night of church group time has been particularly productive during this week of camp. On Sunday night, Audra Swofford, director of the mission portion of camp, came and spoke to our group about what it means to be called to international missions. Several in our group have said that they are being called into this field, so Audra's words were well-timed and hit close to home. I am confident that our group will be effective at spreading the gospel to the nations, both now and later.
Today is also our last day to go work at Greenview Terrace, and it should be a doozy!! Each day the kids at the site have tried to take the water we've given them to drink and have a bonified, no-holds-barred water war, and today we are going to encourage that ambition. With a slip and slide, shaving cream joust, and all out water bombings, it's sure to be fun!! We will also be talking about dawn and pepper, and using them to show that sin has power over our lives, but Christ has power over that sin. Please pray that the gospel will dig deep into the hearts of the kids there and that the Lord will draw them to salvation even today.
And please pray for our group. We are exhausted and worn, but we are excited about what's happening too! We are also wary and on the lookout, rumors are that there is a scary clown with a front ponytail that has been wandering around our mission site and following us back to campus. Hopefully, the local authorities will be searching out this frightening figure and will apprehend him very soon. And on an equally shocking note, I would like it stated here that Carrie Ball woke up at 5:45 this morning (4:45 our time) to go for a morning jog. I know, most of us are still are still in shock too. Pray that we will be able to recover :)
Until this afternoon....
