Family Camp 1 & 2

I enjoy the weeks of Family Camp so much!! This year was no exception!

During Family Camp 1, I had the privilege of working with my parents as they cooked for the week (thanks Mom and Dad!). I had the privilege of meeting some amazing families. I even met one of my distant cousins (small world!). It was neat to see the families meet together for family devotions, play together during craft times and game times, and simply enjoy a week together.

One of my highlights of the week was the opportunity to teach a small group of tweens (pre-teens) during chapel. Through these lessons, one of the family campers accepted Jesus as his Savior for the first time! Praise the Lord for his work! We all rejoiced very much when he announced this at the closing program!

Family Camp 2 was filled with reconnecting for me as I saw many families who have been coming for years and meeting a few new families! It was neat to see the Lord work and grow everything from the annual frog jumping contest to the new activities and lessons being taught.

I spent much of my time preparing to close out the summer well through meeting with counselors and other staff members. It was amazing to see God bring these conversations together and see their perspective of the summer, both good and bad. It was helpful for me, too, to reflect on so much of what God had done during the summer. What a MIGHTY God we serve!

It was again a blessing to work at Lake Ellen and I am so excited to see what God uses from this season in my future. I know he will do an amazing work. He always does!
