I can finally say that the first camp is over and in a word it was AWESOME!!!! God moved in so many of the teens lives this week. Not only did some teens decide to make Christ part of their lives, others decided to bold for Christ and began thinking of ways to serve Christ even when the emotional experience of camp is over.The campers were pretty awesome! One of my guys decided he liked my name so he stole it. Another group just embraced me and wanted to get to know me and spend time with me, which meant a lot. The speaker was awesome and the worship band Atlantic was pretty amazing to, they led some really good worship times.
I know by now you are wondering what is up with the title of this post well I will start with the first part of the title. Our team was so fortunate to be at the camp with a team from IWU, and they were amazing people of God. I can not say enough good things about them. As soon as we met them we meshed and basically became one team (that is where Team Deluxe comes in). We did skits together and were team leaders together for the whole time that we were at camp. They were awesome and made us feel like we were one them and I hope they felt the same about us! It was really hard to say goodbye to them, but it was good to know that our team found some good brothers and sisters in Christ.
Now on the wrists. Team Deluxe decided to do the Everything skit by Lifehouse (look it up on youtube). During the skit one of the team members fell and broke their wrists. So that ended with a hospital visit, which ended up being bonding time for two of the members of ISWU ministry team.
Now Rhodes, As we were riding through Indiana going to take Katie to a host home we noticed the Wesleyan Church Headquarters, so I texted Deborah Rhodes and told her. Which was proceeded by some hangout time with the Rhodes. Which was amazing, I was so glad to see them. They even let us do our laundry at their house which we were EXTREMELY thankful for. Deborah and Matt are the bomb diggity.
Anyways there will be a more detailed description of the first camp later. It is late and I have been driving for 7 hours and it is time for bed.
