Thursday started to get much cooler, but we still braved the elements to do the waterslide and more outdoor fun! Jeff continued during chapel to play the part of Jonah, this time in a shadow play, inside the big fish. Kim did a great job this week joining the L.I.T. crew (Leaders in Training) cleaning and serving in the kitchen and coming alongside counselors to help them with their campers.

Wednesday, we had a beautiful sunny day to enjoy electives (like boating, archery, and the ropes course). We also enjoyed our annual cookout. Jeff's camper, Alan, needed a table, so Jeff's back worked well! As we studied the life of Jonah in chapel, we discussed how God, in His love, rescued Jonah by sending the fish to swallow him whole. He rescued us by sending Jesus to die to take the punishment for our sins so that we could be friends with God! We ended our chapel time with a DVD of Alan's testimony - of God changing his life after an accident when he was in the Coast Guard. Another camper, Jennifer, sang Amazing Grace for us! I am always touched by how God works in and through the lives of our campers to minister to us! WOW!

Today marks the end of our first week of Camp Promise. It has gone by fast in some ways and slow in others, but it was a week full of fun! We now have an official camp photographer to whom we are SO grateful! I'll try to post many of her pictures in the days to come!
