Here's the recap from Tuesday :)
Morning Chapel started again with Worship...many of the students really starting to look forward to this part of their day, both morning and evening...a chance to connect with the Lord through music...pretty sweet to worship our Dad together with my (much) younger brothers and sisters :)
The chapel focus this morning was on thinking about others, taking our eyes off of ourselves...because "the world does not have what we have". The speaker, John Alvarado from Reflect Ministries, shared amazing stories and videos from opportunities he's had around the world to share the Gospel, and the work he heads up in Mexico, serving the poor down there...
Rec time was the continuation of 4-way games...the rec hi-lite video from this week should be epic :)
After lunch, over half the group (about 30) gave up their free time, and even paid $10 to serve at a "Feed America" warehouse in San Diego...this was a behind the scenes service project...we processed, sorted, recycled, and prepared over A TON of food to be distributed to homeless, and families in need. I loved seeing the smiles on our students faces, knowing they were making a difference. It was brought home afterwards when we met Julie and one of her 3 sons. Julie, an immigrant to the US came as a Muslim. Her life was touched by the ministry we were helping support, and she and her family have given their lives to Christ! Great to hear a testimony and know that we made a difference.
Dinner then evening chapel...Josh continues to be used by The Lord in his unique style of story telling as he opens up some of his life, and reveals his own struggles with his faith. The rawness and real way he communicates is a gift, and really connecting with our students. I old honestly suggest parents getting a copy of his messages to listen to as they become available after camp! (I'll have free links
The all camp Kajabi Can Can Tourney was the late night activity, and Tanner took 2nd place in the gladiator competition...a huge accomplishment!
Being mid-week tradition by me since we've been coming here, I made the late night Mexican food run for the whole group. We wracked up about $300 worthed of food, and the kids loved eating in the dorms during their nightly small group time to recap the day.
Wednesday night will be huge, be praying for Josh as he gives students a specific opportunity to make a decision about their walk with Christ!
God Rulz!

Monday recap....
We were so thankful that the trip Sunday was uneventful. It was so nice to have a bus that was reliable and very comfortable :-) the kids immediately started connecting with each other and the trip was good! We arrived in plenty of time to get checked in and then go to dinner. After that, the opener! This years theme of Phoenix Dark is awesome! Phoenix Dark is a character representing Christ on the night he was betrayed and an ensuing investigation into why it happened. Fact #1 "This guy is def not human" was the main point.
Following breakfast on Monday morning we headed to our first morning chapel which also included the first time that we would get to worship with 330 Plan. Our morning speaker, Jay Johnson started driving home the fact that Jesus is a person that needs to be dealt with. Fact #2 "This guy is def human" was brought home as we looked at the human Characteristics of Christ.
Then onto Recreation. Our Youth group is spread across a half-dozen teams so getting pictures and videos of everyone is a challenge, but one that I'm enjoying being up to! With games like Kajabi cancan, tug-of-war, and super belly bumpers, you know this is going to be a great week of recreation!
Following recreation was another amazing meal and then an afternoon of free time. Students did everything from clime rock walls, to go to the beach and enjoy the surf or just hang out.
Another meal before evening Chapel and then we got to hear our amazing speaker Josh once again tell Christ's stories through a series of stories of his own. He is really impacting the students with his unique gift of storytelling. Fact 3 "This guy is too important to be ignored" was the focus. As critical thinkers, we have to do something with the person of Christ.
A little bit of evening free time followed. While some were just chatting others playing Hakki sack and still others performing during an open mic session. I was a very proud dad as my son was the final act of the evening, performing "By your side" by 10th Ave., North. The crowd went nuts when he finished and It was a pretty sweet moment.
All in all, it was a great first full day of camp to begin what has already started out to be a life-changing week for so many that came to HumeSD this year.
