Last night we had planned to see a chalk talk by Caleb. Mr Dave was going to lead us in a few songs before the talk. About the time dinner ended all the electricity went out. The plans had changed. Mr Dave began singing some worship songs as Caleb set up his easel for the chalk talk - if the electricity came back on. The more we sang the more we felt God's presence. Mr Eddie and Caleb did not have a prompting to pray specifically that the lights would come on but that God would direct the evening. The worship time was very special and God touched many hearts. One girl prayed to receive Christ. The electricity finally came on and we saw and heard the Chalk Talk. Yesterday Mr Mike Bove talked about being a missionary in Indonesia. Some of the boys spent the night in the tents (some of the girls stayed in the tents on Tuesday Night). Tonight we plan to cook out and later tonight we are going to have a special worship and praise campfire.

Camp 2006 Session 2
The first full day of camp is over and we had a great day. We got up at 7:00 and had our Quiet Time. We learned that God is a great God that has a wonderful plan for our lives. Breakfast was super. Eggs, bagels, oatmeal and fruit. After cabin clean-up we began our activities: fishing, archery, crafts, challenge course, riflery, and swimming. After lunch (sloppy joes) Mr. Dave lead us in singing and worship followed by Mr Eddie's testimony. Tonight we played Capture the Flag and everyone was exhausted but it was fun. We are meeting with our counselors tonight for Cabin Time to discuss`some of the things we learned today.

Last night we heard Caleb talk about Obeying God. He did a chalk talk and told us a story about Pastor Lee and his daughter. The rain cooled us off but didn't stop any of our activities. Today we get to choose the activity that we want to participate in. We have had an archery contest, Rifle contest and a canoe race. This morning we heard Chip Kirk from Operation mobilization talk to us about walking God's trail with the help of Junior, Kelly Sue and Rocky. Tonight is our campfire. Please pray as we worship God tonight.

It's Wednesday and we have been very busy. Yesterday was an exciting day. Our Quiet Time talked about three kids on an adventure to find their grandfather's treasure. They found a map and began following it's direction. Although the map said to go the long way, the kids took a short cut and found out why the short way is not always the best way. Last night Ms Gail fixed a cook-out with Fourth of July decorations. After the Shaving cream battle , we had fireworks and all the campers sang "God bless America" and Shouted "USA, USA, USA". Brandon B. caught thew biggest fish.
