Day 2
It's hard to believe that there's only one more full day at camp, but it's been amazing to see how the Lord is already working in the hearts and minds of our students and adults.
The theme of camp this year is "AUDACIOUS," which means to be bold and forthcoming. So often, believers are content to remain silent about their faith, ignoring opportunities that the Lord gives us to multiply our faith. We've been challenged several times already to not allow the world or the enemy to make us stay silent about this salvation we've been given, and one incredible opportunity to change this apathetic trend has already been given and accepted. One of Student Life's ministry partners is Compassion International (www.compassion.com), which works to release children from poverty in Jesus' name.
A former compassion child, named Victor, gave his testimony tonight about how his sponsor changed his life forever and allowed him the opportunity to hear about Jesus and become a believer. Then, all of the students and adults here were challenged to take up the call of the helpless and sponsor children around the world. Hundreds of students, including several Chapel Hill students, answered this challenge, and now there will be hundreds of children who have the chance to hear the gospel. Praise the Lord for His mighty hand and the moving of His Spirit!! May He continue to move and work among us.
Please pray for us while we are getting ready to finish up camp. We need prayers for emotional and spiritual healing, and for the Lord to continue to lead us how He will and show us where He wants us to go.
