Hey everyone! Day three was great here at Camp Broadmoor. Morning celebration kicked us off with a fun song about the fruits of the spirit. After morning celebration, we split up into Recreation groups. 7th and 10th graders had the Low Ropes Course today, which was mostly team building exercises. These included getting teammates over a wall, keeping a ball in the air, getting in order of birthdays without talking, having every teammate stand on a wood box without falling off, and much more. Below is a video of the groups at the course today.
There is also a separate video of what was referred to as "The Box." It seemed to take both the 7th and 10th graders a long time to complete. So, on the video they are shown doing the challenge at 3x the actual speed. We also had the yearly adults vs. students Ultimate Frisbee match. With a 9-6 lead, the students' offense turned cold and the adults came back and won 10-9!
At evening worship, God really showed Himself and moved in the place. We talked about Samson and how when he's first introduced in Judges 13, it seems like everything is going to be great. But then in Chapter 14, things begin to go downhill. Blake Newsom, the Camp Pastor, got the point across of how we can have so much potential at a point in our lives, and then just mess it all up and be a huge letdown. This broke a lot of the students and a time of confession to place. Tears flowed down the cheeks of different students. It was a very intimate time.
Also, it was "Senior Night" at camp. The Seniors explained their painting on the 3rd floor and also gave sound advice to all the younger kids. It ended with the Seniors passing the Senior cross to the Junior class, symbolizing them having to carry the weight of being the leaders of the youth group. As students left evening worship, they headed to campfire time. God also moved here as two 8th grade guys surrendered their lives to Christ.
It's been a great week so far and as we head into our last day we ask that you pray for this day and that the lives of our students will be changed by the encountering of the Holy Spirit. Thanks for your prayers already and we'll be home soon! Here are the videos for Day 3. Hope you enjoy them!
