Today the students went through an experience to get them thinking about how God can use them when they get home. What if we stopped seeing ourselves as just Jr. Highers and saw ourselves as God did? Ferocious warriors for Him to use. We asked them to dream and think about ways that God wanted to use them in their schools, their youth group, in their relationships, to help kids in need and to use the platform that God has given them at school. The responses that the students shared were incredible.
In the afternoon we went to Monsoon Lagoon for some fun times miniature golfing, swimming and Go-Karting. It was a fun and exhausting time together.
Tonight our session was about bracing ourselves to be used by God. We talked about the traps that Satan likes to use to make us think that we can't be used. Traps that we hold on to and take our focus and attention away from God's plan for our lives. We looked at the traps of Sin, Image, Selfishness and Fear. In response tonight we asked students to identify the trap that they were holding on to, release it and share with their leaders so their leaders can pray with and over them. Many students responded in some amazing and powerful ways.
More later . . . enjoy some pics for now.

I am SO grateful for all that you give to our kids- you make my job of parenting so much easier! It's such an amazing thing to know that God has positioned other adults and leaders into the lives of our sons to affirm, encourage and draw them into a deep passionate and intimate walk with Jesus. After being a Mom now for 21 years I have come to realize I can't do it alone- thanks for coming alongside my role and making it go to a new level with things like camp and everything else you do. Thanks so much! You are doing an amazing job!
