The second service (Saturday morning) he talked about the power of worship over the enemy, and how it releases the power of God in our lives. Of course, you can’t talk about worship and not go crazy afterward. We had a great time worshipping God like crazy.

After the service, we broke them into workshops. Jason taught one on the power of media, and I did one on increasing your faith. Jeff and Tracee were supposed to make it to do workshops after lunch, but the snow actually kept them from making it to the camp. So I ended up doing the same workshop for the students that didn’t make it the first time around.

The third service, John talked about sexual purity and the importance of sexual integrity and your faith. Pretty interesting, and pretty much truth in your face. Once again, it didn’t surprise me how many students had fallen into some trap of sexual impurity. I remember praying for a student that had viewed some porn, and watched stuff on TV. This was a good church kid, and his parents had tried so hard not to expose him to “the world.” Unfortunately, that is just inevitable. Better to teach them the ways of truth rather than try to keep them from the lie. Otherwise they feel like they are missing out on something, and will often fall into the lie.

After the long and much needed altar time, the place went crazy just worshipping God. Students were literally all over the place dancing before the Lord. It was pretty awesome. I also realized that I am very out of shape!

Overall, it was a pretty awesome camp. Probably one of the best ones I have been to so far.

It seemed like everyone was late. Even me. I showed up around 2 (about 30 minutes late), and Richard came around 2.30. The rest of my team were mostly late. Half of my band was late. But the goodness and soveriegnty of God was incredible.The service started as usual with hang out – play time. But once worship started, there was something totally different. Amazingly, the worship band messed up many times (me included!) during our set, but God began moving as soon as we moved into the “slow songs.” We started with “Til I see You” and it blew me away how fast the presence of God just showed up. Students that seemed so hard to me were worshipping, and many started tearing up. Some of them were even praying for their friends and seeing God move. By the time we got to the last song (2 songs later), many of them were totally just going for it.

Then the Holy Spirit spoke to me to have students that just wanted God to come to the altar (many of them were already there). As the leaders moved through the altar, God was touching them like crazy, many of them before we even touched them ourselves. It was amazing.

Afterward, I was going to preach, but I just wanted to get feedback on what God was doing. So I asked them how many of them just needed God at that moment, and many of them raised their hands. I then asked them what it was that God was doing in them, to build their faith and to show them that God can touch them at a very young age. It totally rocked. Many of them said that they were going through stuff, and that God had given them strength, confidence, and had restored their faith.

One girl in particuar named Sarah was totally touched by God. The amazing thing was this. She is in 6th grade, and she said that she had been doubting her faith because of different things. But God had touched her like she had never felt before. What blew me away was the fact that she is so young, and is starting to doubt her faith. I didn’t start doing that until high school. God is so good.

The awesome part about the whole thing is the fact that I know what happened last night was genuine. I know a lot of these students, and the stuff that happened last night can’t be faked. Especially at this age. They don’t know how to fake it yet. Another cool thing is seeing how many of them are experiencing God in ways that they never thought possible. One girl said that she felt God so strong, that she just knows that God is with her, always was, and always will be.

Thank you Lord.
