Narrow Way Day 3

Day 3 - 

Our day began at morning devo, where Luke Zangaro did the scripture reading. It was biscuits and gravy day for breakfast and then cabin cleanup. The deer cabin won cleanest cabin, which was the littlest girls! They were very proud and enjoyed going first in the lunch line. 

For morning sports, we played Capture the Flag. During crafts, some Kids finished their pillows and others continued to work on building their boats. Cabin bible studies followed where we studied why the Christian life is worth it. 

We talked about what the wide and narrow gate mean, who are in both of these places, what these gates look like in our lives and where these two paths lead. We learned that living the Christian life may not be easy, but is always worth it.

Today’s lunch was hot dogs, baked beans and tater tots followed by 30 minutes of mandatory rest in cabins. Then it was time for swimming in the nearby creek, which allowed us all a chance to cool off from the heat of the day. 

Group bible studies went well as we were able to dig deeper and discuss the topics introduced in the morning session. 

 Then we had free time where the kids could fish, kayak, play 9 square or use the game room. Many chose to work on their team skits for skit night tomorrow night. 

Dinner was an amazing Italian meal of salad, lasagna, squash and zucchini, and garlic bread. 

We learned a few new songs during chapel and heard a lesson from Shane on the cost of discipleship. Currently the kids are enjoying a giant memory game and a cup stacking game, which is getting a little crazy!

The snack tonight is strawberry shortcake! If the kids go hungry it’s not for lack of food!

We are all having a great time! The kids seem to be bonding well and getting to know one another, and opening up. We are amazed to see how God uses this camp to work in these kids’ lives year after year. They always come back a little older, a little different, and it’s such a blessing for us to see them growing in their spiritual walks.

On a funny note, we have a camp mystery we are trying to solve. Someone is randomly locking doors, and we can’t figure out who it is. We have even offered a reward for information, ha! It is possible the doors are slipping and locking themselves, but we don’t really know. Dustin is staying busy unlocking lots of doors in the meantime! 

That’s all for tonight. Please continue to pray for us all!
