Well our construction team has finally arrived after delays in the Tallahassee airport and then more delays in the Miami airport. Trusting in God is put into practice when the pilot gets on in Miami and says, “Sorry for the delay, but this plane had to get worked on a bit, but now we are good to go.” And then later comes on the PA and says, “We’ve found some bags below that we don’t know who they belong to.”…
We have made it… almost! We had another jam packed day here at Kulaqua. After morning chapel our guys went to the guys only interactive to learn about being a dude in Christ and our girls went to hear Jen teach on body image and true beauty in Christ. Our hope and prayer is that they are hanging on to nuggets of what they are hearing since they have received alot this week. Somehow we managed to go from 5th…
It’s hard to believe that we are already halfway through our week here at middle school camp. We are really having a great time here as a student ministry – learning to love God and love each other. I’m really encouraged by this group of middle school students… even though we do have our ‘moments’… it’s a really neat group that I pray will serve as the core of our ms ministry as we move toward the new school year….
We have wrapped up a busy, but awesome day today. Morning comes early for sure, but we are grateful to God for some great weather for camp so far. After our morning chapel time we go to interactives for a smaller type Bible study. You can be praying for Jen as she is doing an interactive for girls and me as I’m doing a co-ed interactive. From there we move to a personal devotional time. Morning competitions were a blast…
Well here I go again… after just being home a few days from HS Camp, I’m back on the road at camp – this time with our middle school students. I always look forward to middle school camp at Kulaqua. It’s a great place and God always does a great work in our hearts here. We arrived in early afternoon to some rainy weather that cleared quickly so the students could get out and burn off some of the ‘sitting…
The last morning of camp is always full of mixed emotions. It was especially for me as I would have to say goodbye to our students and watch them pull out and head down the mountain. The mountain is a unique place… not just Lookout Mountain where Covenant is, but spiritually speaking. The mountain, even throughout Scripture represented God’s presence and meeting place with His people. Even in the New Testament, Jesus often withdrew to the mountains to have time…
I’m finding that writing these updates a few days late is a bit more difficult. But weighing the options between writing a current update (at 3:30am after tech load-out) or waiting until later… well, you can see what won out. Tuesday was our last full day at camp and it was a jam packed day. It was a typical day as far as schedule went, but a very special day when looking back on it all. Everything from morning worship…
It’s hard to believe that we have crossed the mid-point of camp already. And I know I promised some more pics, but I can’t seem to find the USB cable so I figured I would get a text update and can maybe do some pics tomorrow. Today was a big day for the majority of our students that braved the cold water and rapids of the Ocoee. I’ve heard some good stories about some students taking an unexpected swim, but…
HIgh School Camp has been a definite change for me this year with my increased responsibilities being the director of Elevate Camp 2009. I’ve been quite a bit more removed from our students’ lives as I’ve had to manage the behind the scenes and day to day operations of the camp. But this gives me a great chance to brag on the Wildwood student staffers that are serving as counselors this week to our students. They have done an awesome…
Our first full day of camp is under our belt and we are having a great time so far. Today was a full day both spiritually and activity-wise. I’m just flat out exhausted and since it’s late I’m not going for a full write up, but here’s some pics to enjoy.
