Morning brought a message from a missionary working with youth in Ecuador. He challenged students to develop a worldview that includes serving God and sharing the good news of His Son right where they are now as well as outside of their own culture and comfort zone. Then, students dressed in crazy tabards and ‘staches (girls and guys alike!) for Super Spirit Day. They cheered loudly, ran relays, and did the Cha Cha Slide to earn points for their recreation teams. After an outdoor barbecue lunch, they enjoyed an afternoon of free time around the lake. A few students and counselors attended an optional seminar on how to study the Bible in depth on your own. Then, after dinner, campers discovered that Eric Anderson, Zach Pattison, and Lindsay Pattison have more in common than counseling at Hume Lake and studying at Azusa Pacific University: all three bravely “ran the gauntlet” in a counselor competition for their rec teams. And yes, Eric WON!!! On a more serious note, our chapel speaker Brad really challenged kids who have already put their faith in Christ to live what they believe, to make their actions a grateful response to what Jesus has done for them and a message that will encourage their friends toward Christ rather than turn them off to considering their need for a relationship with Christ. Both girls and guys had significant “cabin time” after chapel. Lives are being changed.
