Camp Day 1

The team met for a time of worship and considered 2Corinthians 4:1-7 along with 1Corinthians 4:7. We have this ministry as we have received mercy so we do not give up. God's mercy motivates us to serve. We are not adequate for these things but God is the one who works through us as He worked in us. After another lunch of hot soup and fried chicken we headed to the school to prepare for the arrival of the campers who began to arrive at about 3:45 pm local time. The next two and a half hours was filled with many conversations. Team members stepped out in faith to introduce themselves to frightened Students some of which know little English while others are very proficient. It was so good to see new faces and to reconnect with several familiar friends from past camps. We need grace and courage to go deeper now after these initial meetings. God continues to bring campers as we now have 100 registered for our time here. There is a reason why we have the largest team ever. God is good all the time. First Bible study is tomorrow. Jesus calms the storm and the difference between belief and true trust. The disciples knew Jesus was in the boat but failed to trust Him. We ask for wisdom to help campers know what it is to trust Christ.
