I’ve heard of many pastor’s who describe their Monday mornings as their “Holy Hangover”. I feel like I experience this many times on Thursday mornings after our “go day” in student ministry. I can honestly say I have finally “sobered” up after what probably was the most intense, draining, exciting spiritual week of my life. Ten days ago we got home from Camp Whatever and all I can say is wow. My prayer was God will you do something here that only You can do. He did just that. I could write forever about this week, but I will just invite you Wednesday July 9 to our Camp Share Service. I am just now able to put into words a little bit of what happened. Here are some of the highlights of my week.
-Seeing forty students cross the line of faith and totally surrender their life to Christ.
-I had the opportunity to lead a 7th grade boy to Christ on Tuesday morning after his quiet time. Yes God spoke to a 7th grade boy in a quiet time. WOW!
-Our adult leaders are amazing! No amazing I’m serious. Many leaders had the opportunity to lead someone to Christ for their first time. Way to step!
-Over 25% of the students who accepted Christ did so at a time other than after a worship service. One student said he couldn’t sleep because he needed to give his life to Jesus. Wow the Holy Spirit works at all hours.
-My team is amazing. David, Mel, Canaan and Scott.
-Our staff team that went are my hero’s. Our church is amazing for allowing that many people to go to camp. They believe in what we do. I love my church.
-Hasn’t happened yet but the 20 students we have baptized after tomorrow night, with at least 20 more to come! Praise God.
