Monday Camp Day 1.1 - Late Night

It seems like it has been a whole day since the last post even though that was only a few hours ago. Let me start by giving you a mental picture of the event. Liberty's campus is very picturesque with mountains all around. We are staying in really clean three story hall style dorms. They are awesome but it seems the guys AC is not working so pray for some cool weather. If you walk down a ridiculously long staircase you arrive at the dining hall. The dining facilities are huge and the food is pretty good. About a block up from that is the main meeting center for the camp. It is a small basketball arena but it really nice inside. That's enough about the buildings, now for the good stuff. To start our evening off right, we got a healthy dose of humor when the camp rules were delivered. Seriously, ask your kids to tell you about the flannel board video with the flames and dinosaurs! The band who is playing is called Unhindered (www.unhinderedworship.com) and they have one goal in mind: to get every single person in that arena worshiping God. So far they seem to be doing a good job. Here is a picture I took of our group. I blurred it so you can't tell who is who, but you get the idea














They also started a series of powerful skits aimed to get the kids to think about their level of faith, how real it is to them and how they might share it. David Nasser did a great job walking the kids through Isaiah 6:1-5 showing that even in the midst of all the woes of our lifes, God is still in control, He is still holy and he will always desire to "ruin" our lives (remove any obstacle we hold closer to us than Him). We finished the night out with a little Lifepointe time outside in the cool mountain air, playing silly games and talking about the days events. I challenged them all to think about why they are here and to consider what they wanted to get out of this. I got a great bunch of responses which proved many of their hearts are open to listening to God. If you contact them, please help push them to answer this question.

Last but certainly not least, I have a way you can send your kids a note. The basic gist is that you send an email to the camp, they print it, I pick it up and hand it to them. If you want to send them a note, see some more camp pix, watch the message videos or just read another camp blog visit this site and click "EMAIL A STUDENT."
