July 9-11 was long anticipated. For months, the Arts & Sports Camp team met, prayed, and planned. The news of the upcoming camp was spread through various means, supplies were purchased, and every activity of the camp was staffed. We tried to be sure no rock was left unturned.
July 9-11 arrived. It was met with much enthusiasm. Much energy. Much joy and excitement. We sang, we heard Truth from God's word, we learned Scripture, we gave an offering for the Name of Christ to be spread, we played various sports, we participated in various arts. Teachers, coaches, helpers - ALL played a vital role in carrying out the plans given to us by our Father. We took part in His work. His amazing work.
We saw the end of Arts & Sports Camp seemingly minutes after it began. But not before many hugs were given, many smiles reflected, many high-fives received, many praises sung, many prayers heard, many seeds planted and watered. God graciously allowed us to experience Him at work in the lives of little children. He chose for each one to be at our Arts & Sports Camp. He chose us to be there, too. Amazing. Humbling. Encouraging.
July 9-11 was a small drop in the bucket of His plan for His Kingdom. Yet it is an important drop. His Word does not return to Him void. Not ever. And His word was proclaimed. His love shown. His Truth experienced. What an amazing God we serve. The King of the universe calls us to be a part of His eternal plan.
Thank you. Each one who worked in any capacity of Arts & Sports Camp 2012. You saw an opportunity to be part of God's work around you. And you jumped in. You gave of yourself for an eternal purpose. You are an encouragement. A blessing. You are much appreciated.
Looking forward to what the Lord has in store for 2013...
