Freedom Camp Update- Thursday

This has been a great week! We are all, students and leaders, being challenged by what the Lord is doing at Camp and among us. Despite some being homesick, some being annoyed (or annoying, depending on who you ask...), despite personality clashes and tired bodies and minds, (everything I just listed is all normal camp type drama!) we are learning lots of good and applicable stuff.

In the morning sessions, Mike Curry has been talking about the nature of sin. We have learned about the "Lust of the flesh" and will be learning about the "Lust of the eyes" and the "boastful pride of life". In his words, "all sin begins with a passion and ends in a perversion". We have learned that the enemy hasn't created anything...ever. He has only perverted the good things that God, The Creator, has created.

The night sessions have been focused on trusting God. We have learned how worry takes away from our trust in God, how wanting control shows our lack of trust. It has been very eye opening and we are all learning a lot!

Please continue to pray for us. Pray that we may be focused on the things God is placing on our hearts. Pray that our hearts would be soft, fertile soil. Pray that all distractions would be thrown down.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow night when we arrive at home. Check back here to see our travel plans for tomorrow.
