7.00am. Leader's meeting. It feels like an early start, but all the leaders are in the room together. Clearly we all had a good night's sleep 😎
"Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God" were the Bible words we start the day with. We are reminded that what we do impacts the campers, so we want to be like Paul when he said "Do what I do" and be a faithful example for others to follow.
Breakfast was good and as most people love a cooked breakfast, they were well fed. From breakfast (after a quick break to brush our teeth) we divided into our study groups to discuss what we heard from Jared last night, to see how the words of Exodus are relevant to us today, and to get a glimpse of how this points to Jesus. I really enjoyed the group I am leading this year. There is good conversation happening amongst the group and some good wisdom being shared.
The weather did get in our way today for the planned activities. But because we have talented and capable people in charge of things at PYV camps, we moved chairs around and moved indoors while the rain was falling.
After lunch we had our first session of workshops for camp. Rather than list them all here, you can see that list in a previous post here. I sat in on the Gospel workshop with Sam and greatly enjoyed watching people learn what Romans 6:23 has to say about the gospel of Jesus Christ and then talking to each other about what they had just learned. Brilliant.
Our worship session again gave us the opportunity to sing in worship, pray, read the scriptures and listen to excellent preaching. Tonight Jared show from Exodus 3, the burning bush. We have been confronted with God's great holiness and how wonderful and terrifying that is. Then we were confronted with the fact that even in his awesome holiness, God allows Moses to approach him. What an awesome God we worship.
We also heard a testimony from one of our younger leaders. God bless those who challenged her about her own faith and then encouraged her to grow as a disciple of Jesus.
God is good in all things. Please keep praying for what He is doing among us here.
