Fuge 2008

Camp was awesome! The whole week was great. I had an awesome Bible study group with an awesome leader. Eric, our Bible study leader, just had a different way of thinking about concepts and a great personality. I am really going to miss Eric and my Bible study group even though I only knew most of them for a week.

One thing that the Lord really taught me this week was the concept of unity. There were only two 11th and 12th grade Bible studies, Egypt (mine) and Zimbabwe, both of our leaders were named Eric. Sometimes during rec, we would compete against each other, but after that we would all get together and talk about what we had just learned. It was also awesome how both of our Bible studies would cheer for each other as one, so we became Zegypt. Each day after rec, a 'Spirit Cup' is awarded to a Bible study in each grade set (7th and 8th, 9th and 10th, 11th and 12th, College, and Adult). On the last day of rec Zegypt won the Spirit Cup as one. For me, that was one of the coolest things that happened throughout the week.

Here's another cool thing about unity I learned, and this is coming from Eric. He said, it's always awkward the first night when our Bible study got together the first time with almost no one knowing each-other. On the last day we got together at the same spot and everyone is so close after only a week of being together.

Camp has just been an awesome week and having an awesome camp pastor doesn't hurt either. This year the pastor was Will Snipes, he was the camp pastor two years ago and was really awesome. Will has a unique way of preaching. He likes to always have a key word that his sermon centers around. The first night's word was Cure, that's what Jesus is, the cure for our sin. The second night's word was Repentance, that's what we need to do, repent of our sin and run from it like it's a burning building. The third night's word was Victory, we have to defend what God has made ours. And the last night's word was Feet, if we don't go and spread the Gospel, who will?

I have learned so much at camp this week. I has been so awesome.
