All aboard

The girls have really bonded together this week and become friends. They learned about the holiness and the justice of God in the past two nights and eyes were opened to Gods character and what his character demands of those who choose to follow Him. Pray for tonight as they learn about the love of God that the girls will understand and apply Gods love in their lives.

Bless God!

In Israel when it rains the people say bless God or Baruch ashem. Today we had inches of rain in just a few minutes and it was fantastic. The guys had a blast in the water and of course gave us much to be thankful for.

Baruch ashem!

Dearal Rodgers and Clay Dyer!

Dearal and Clay as they begin to speak to the boys on the porch of the dining hall at Tracy's Camp. It is surely the Lord who has partnered these two men of God together to advance the kingdom!

Unbelievable! Clay has Philippians 4:13 on the back neck of his shirt. This is certainly testimony to that fact and Clay gives God all the glory. You can see more about Clay Dyer at http://www.smgoutdoors.com/claydyer.html or Dearld Rodgers at http://www.dearalrodgers.com/

Week 3 about surrender and truth

Week three has come and gone and God did an amazing work! We were blessed to have Clay Dyer who is a professional bass fisherman who just happens to not have arms or legs. His story of Gods strength is inspiring and touched the hearts of everyone at camp. This was a week where God wanted surrender from a number of campers that maybe had merely believed but had not surrendered their life to Him. God in his great mercy gave oppurtunity for such a surrender and several responded. Praise God! This week was also about the pursuit of truth. Many spend their entire lives in this pursuit. The world claims that their are many ways to arrive at truth. This leads to a web of lies that masquerade as truth but lack the chain breaking power of the real truth. It is in Christ who is the truth that we are set free from vain pursuits and the chains of sin. Truth cannot be contained, it cannot be shackled, it will not remain silent, and it is truth that lights our path in the darkness. Surrender to the truth! There is no other way. Praise God for an amazing week! Next week begins July 12. Pray!

Week 3 day 3 Glory to God forever!

Much has happened this week to prove that God is at work in all things. It is He who orchestrates the work of the heart and I have seen His hand at work this week. We have had young men called back to their heavenly Father who had strayed from His path. Surely some will serve the Lord all the days of their life! He is worthy of lifting our hands to and worthy that we might bow our knee to His holy name! I wonder why we are reluctant to show our praise in this manner when he so publicly displayed His affection for us in the most sacrificial way. Will you lift your hands to the King of Kings? Will you bow your knee? We have much to learn from these young men who publicly express their love for Christ!

Time in the Word!

Time with the Word is critical in the life of one who wants to follow Christ.

Week 3 day 1

No pictures tonight. God has put together a group of 30 young men along with our 15 counselors to experience an incredible week of seeking Him. We sat in the middle of a freshly planted wheat field this afternoon and read from the very words of God about the good seed that God plants and how one day there will be a great harvest. We sat in that field as the sun set and marveled at the Glory of God. I can see already the hand of God has he pursues these young men. I can't wait to see what tomorrow holds.

Tracy's Camp Counselors

God has blessed us this year with an incredible group of Counselors and CITs (Counselors-in-Training). We really need your prayers as you can see.

Week 2 day 4 last night

Repent and believe! What a night of incredible worship! The future of the Church is kneeling in this picture. Correction, the present day Church is on their knees before the Lord. Young boys acknowledging Christ as their Lord! As their King! There are preachers, pastors and missionaries in this group of boys. Of that I am sure! Bless God, He is worthy!

Week 2 day 4 Divine Appointment!

Last night was indeed a divine appointment as the Lord sent to us this man from India. His message to the Church of America is this "Fast and Pray". Now, maybe this is no new thing to fast and pray but for us God wants to make this very clear. How do I know that? Well the fact that our staff devotion that morning was 2 Samuel 12:16 "David therefore pleaded with God for the child, and David fasted and went in and lay all night on the ground. " Jesus would repeat words for the benefit of the hearer such as " truly, truly I say to you..." God has repeated "fast and pray"! We will fast and pray!

Today is another BIG day! Tonight is the love of God!

Fast and Pray! It is God's Will for the Church!

Week 2 day 1

Both cabins are full as I turn in for the night. Check in today was hectic as many campers showed up at one time. I praise God for my wife who is able to cope with my lack of organizational skills. I am also thankful for the parents that waited patiently while everyone got checked in. Tonight was Spirit filled at worship while we sang to and talked about our powerful God. Kids amaze me. When assigning tribes tonight it was clear that God was placing them where they needed to be for the week. Four were saying how God must have put them together. Of course they were all friends. Tomorrow begins early with breakfast at 730. Pray for Patrick as he had an accident involving his front tooth not long after being at camp. We will trust the Lord with that as well. He said tonight that God knew it was going to happen and he will trust God with it. We appreciate your prayers throughout the week for safety and energy. Our God is good to us. We rise tomorrow to serve Him!

Week 1 2009

Camp week 1 was a good start to our 2009 summer camp season. Worship this week was amazing and it was clear that the Lord was working in the hearts and minds of the campers.

As you can see we also had a tremendous amount of fun with our new giant slip-n-slide! You know you have had an awesome week when at the closing ceremony the campers say that their favorite thing about camp was the WORSHIP! New week begins tomorrow. Pray for energy and wisdom for our counselors and for the potter's hand on the campers!
