Adventurers & Pathfinders
What a week! We have been blessed with almost 90 fabulous campers who have come ready to learn about God. The two sessions hold their chapel and games separately, but get to experience the joys and excitements of camp together.
Adventurers and Pathfinders have been having an action packed and God-filled week. Having fun with scavenger hunts, skill building, DIY's, survival skills, mystery dinners, and more! Pathfinders ended their week with a tractor pull- doing the immovable challenge!
Speaker Abby Smith has taught the Adventurers to be fearless in their faith, to follow Christ even when it's hard. Even when we are knocked down and pressed by troubles, we can be strong and immovable in Him.
Here is a quote from our Adventurers speaker:
God looked at all of His creation and said that it was very good. He looks at us the same way when we are born. We are very good. But we are given free will and with that free will we often make bad choices. But God forgives us constantly for those bad choices inviting us to embrace them by forgiving ourselves. He renews our hearts and minds and pushes us towards the person he has created us to be. Life is hard and we are constantly being pressed down, knocked over and getting frustrated. But God uses those moments for us to learn more about Him, gain wisdom and learn more about others around us. Through it all we can invite His love to fill us up and pour out to those around us in order to fulfill the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.
Here is a quote from our Pathfinders speaker, Nathan Smith:
Through stories, games and Bible teaching, Pathfinders week delivered the message of God's unbreakable love and how that love gives us an immovable faith to persevere even in the midst of hardships. We were able to lead our campers through the story of the "two" lost sons of Luke 15 as well as the story of God's love for Israel depicted in the book of Hosea. The campers spent a lot of time hearing and experiencing the love of God in the first three days. Midweek, we invited them to ask questions about Jesus, jump into a life with Jesus or rekindle their commitment for Jesus. Most responded by praying with their counselors for something after impressing on them on last time that even though we can break God's laws and commandments, and even God's heart, we can never break his love.
Life with God is not meant to be easy, even though it is fulfilling and true. For those who choose to follow Jesus, they will inherit the kingdoms of this world and take care of creation alongside King Jesus. This is their destiny, this is why they can't give up and even though they can be troubled, frustrated, harassed and knocked down, with God's love and power, they can also be unbreakable
It has been a blessing to minister to such a wonderful group of campers. Hope to see them all again next summer!
