Message Summery

Pastor Mik preached a challenging message and most all the teens went
forward to pray. He showed some graphic pictures of what people have
done to their body to try to satisfy their lusts. He warned the teens
that to them it seems like an impossability to ever get to that
position, but he warned them that they it is through the choices they
make now that will affect their future. Important lesson

I'm exhausted, its been a packed day. I talked to the boys in my cabin
to see what they learned. Almost without hesitation the guys started
raising their hands each stating something different the've learned so
far. It was very exciting to hear their comments. We've finished
praying and now they will hopefully go to bed soon. The sugar in their
system isn't helping them to go to sleep though :(

Thanks for reading and praying :)

Counsellor Charisma

Since my team is quite far behind. Mr. Nadaskay "mercifully" called on
the counsellors to bark "Jingle Bells" to get more points. Here is the
sad pictures of us begging for points :)

Team cheers

Message on Teen and Parent Relationship

The message this morning by Chris was about a teens relationship with
his or her parents. Chris stressed the importance of it and they ought
to make that decision while they are young because it will benefit
them in their decisions as they get older. There are a list of ideas
Chris gave them to consider in building their parental relationships.
Thank you for praying for your children. Please help your children in
this area

The teens are all getting change for lunch and after that to mess
themselves up. I'll get some pix for ya'll

Preaching Update Day1

The message was excellent. Very applicable to all the teens. Brother
Mick made the point to the teens that EVERY decision has a cost. The
story was from 2 Chronicles 25 and it was about the life of Amaziah.
This man made a lot of good decisions, however he made on decision
which destroyed. Another point in relation to that is God doesn't
always just kill a person for their wicked decision. He will allow
them to suffer from their choice when they decide to go their own way.
I can see God is working on some of these guys.

Right now the guys in my cabin are enjoying doing a lightshow with
their flashlights and making a lot of noise while eating candy. *sigh*
Hopefully they'll go to sleep soon :)

Thanks for reading the blog and praying, g'night everyone!

P.S. Please excuse my typos it is not always easy to write full
messages fast on an iPhone :)
