Day 3 Recap

Hola! We have made it through another day, though we are moving slower and slower! Ha! Camp will wear you out! Yesterday was a great day. It rained hardcore while we were in the lake (poor Dustin, Drew & Cody were sitting out and got soaked and cold!), but it was actually pretty cool. We have had some great bonding times as a youth group, especially our discussions after worship each night. Our youth are having a ball, but also expressing how much they want their life at home to look more like their life at camp.

You see, at camp we have one priority- to focus on Christ. The students have to go to bible study each morning. They have to go to worship each night. There is a set time for them to sit alone and spend time in the Word. Everyone around them is here to do the same thing. It really makes seeking Christ easy.... but camp is not reality. We come to camp to show students what can happen when they put Christ as a priority in their lives. Then we go home, praying they will choose to put Him as a priority in their everyday life. Our youth really want this to be a life change- but they need help. We want to challenge any of our Smiths Grove Baptist church family reading this to come alongside them and spur them on. Ask them how their time in the word is. Parents, remind them to set time aside to pray and read the bible. Help them make church a priority in their schedule. Explain and discuss the sermons with them.

Our kids are growing and learning so much this week. Please be praying for the truths they are learning to sink deep into their hearts and minds. Pray for their relationship as a group to bind strong and create real fellowship and encouragement. And pray for energy and alertness (for them and us! Ha!), because we have lots more to learn today! Have a great Saturday!
