What a Wonderful Day!!! Have you ever had one of those days in which you look back at the beginning of the day and it seems lie it was two days ago? Today had been one of those days. I will try to walk you through the day by our schedule and try to give you some insight of what it looked like.
Breakfast is at 8 – which means getting everyone in our rooms up, showered, and ready by 7:45 – Huge Task
Morning Celebration – Great time to worship and wake up through worship and the morning talk show put on by the staff.
Students then broke out with their small groups and studied more in depth of their sin. After their small group bible study the students then go to the Large Group Bible Study where they sit under the teaching of Dustin Schadt, the camp pastor, who continues to teach the theme of washed. Today’s focal point is being stained. The reason we need to be washed is because we are stained by our sin.
Lunch time – A great time to fellowship and debrief with students.
Connect time – Students have a time to connect with their churches by going over a different spiritual discipline each day. Today Brent taught over worship.
POI – (Points of Interest) – This is probably one of the students favorite things that they get to do at camp. The following is a list of students and their POIs.
Zip Line – Ale, Reagan, Rachel, Mackenzie, Sarah, Sydney, Madeline.
Pool Games – Luke, Andrew, Austin, Keely, Rebekah, Coty.
Bazooka Ball – Dan, Adam, Eric.
Tubing – Elizabeth.
After POIs the students got to play lake sports, which is not really a lake but a man-made pond. Whatever you want to call it, students love the lake sports. They can blobbed, climb an iceberg, or plank on a floating mat in the middle of the lake J
Free Time before supper which is definitely needed.
Supper – Pretty good food but you have to watch out for the flying darts, flaming arrows, and the roaming moose.
Worship – Dustin Schadt led us through Revelation 4 where he drew us a picture of what heaven would look like. He very clearly showed us how holy God is and that we are so unworthy to even be apart of this picture but by his grace and mercy he sent his son Jesus to come and be the atonement of our sins that we might be adopted into the family of God and be called sons and daughters of the King. What a great word to hear!
Connect time – Meet with our church to debrief the day and then go to the shack for some snacks and sorbets.
Please keep praying for us and for Ben Hussung!
Hello there Justin and all our Rich Pond kids and leaders! I have already been touched just reading your great updates, Justin, and touched by the fact that you all care so much for our kids. I am praying that great things happen there this week. I miss my girls so very much, but this is a growing time for us parents too, so to speak, as I realize more and more, that my girls don't really belong to me, they belong to God, and my prayer too is that they come to know him more fully and grow closer to Him this week. I pray that hearts and lives will be changed. Please keep us updated, and please hug Sarah and Sydney for me, and tell them I am praying for them and that I love them.
