The second day at camp was a great day. The food has been really good. I was able to finish writing all my quizes for my Discipleship class in Ukraine.
One of the things we are trying to do at Fellowship is to focus our missions efforts on the things we believe God has called us, as a church to do. One of the areas we believe God is focusing us on is the country of India. The morning session was a missionary from India that was sharing some wonderful stories of the miricles God has been doing to bring the Indian people to the saving knowledge of Christ. India has the biggest percentage of the worlds lost population. I had an opportunity to share our burden for India, and I believe God is going to do some amazing things through this new partnership.
The youth are having to walk literally 15 minutes from their cabins to all the activities of the day. So, I had an epiphany. We have a 72 passenger bus sitting in the parking lot. As I gave the kids a ride to dinner, I have never recieved so many "thank you"s in my life. Remember, its been over 100 degrees everyday. I think we improved the camp experience today.
Last night Brndon Briscoe brought another great message from the book of I Samuel. It was based on the story of Dagon the godof the philistines when the ark of the covenant was brought into the temple. I'll let you read the story for yourself. The point was God doesn't need you to accomplish his will or magnify his name. He can do that all by himself. God chooses to use those that are broken to the point that they cry out to him. This is what we saw in Hannah, and the children of Isreal in order to defeat the Philistines. God is speaking so loud, pray that it not fall on deaf ears.
