Camp 7*8

I have been gone for quite a while and that is partly my fault but also partly because I just got back from Camp 7*8. Camp 7*8 is our Jr. High camp that we have out at Hi Line Resort on Lake Buchanan. It was an absolutely incredible week. We took about twenty jr. high students and just had an awesome time on the lake. We rented jet skis and a boat and took our students tubing to make sure that they had a great time. However, I don't think that our students would tell you that that was the best part of camp. Our students had a great time just worshiping God in a place where distractions of the outside world weren't present at all. I mean NOWHERE to be found. There were three places at the entire resort where any cell phone service was available and you could just forget about trying to get Internet. Anyways, our students were led in worship by an awesome band called In His Hands....you guys can check out their website here. Also there was some speaking by Corey (and I only put his first name because I don't think I heard his last name at all during the week...so he is just Corey). These guys did a great job of joining us to worship with them and I greatly appreciate everything they did for our students this past week. Like any jr. high camp a lot of commitments were made and a lot of things were prayed about and said. The only thing that we as youth workers and parents can do is to pray that our students don't get sucked back in to the world again. That they wouldn't follow what the world has in store for them but that they would take the much greater road and continue to follow the path that God has started them on in result of what they learned from a week on the lake. Let that be our prayer.
