Well….we made it and everything is going as smoothly as could be expected with 572 registered guest, 115 of them adult, the rest….Screaming, Running around Crazy, Fun Loving Children. With that said, this year Crossings is shifting focus to be more mission oriented….10, 11 and 12 year olds really making a difference for the Kingdom of God, thru having them identify their Passion and hooking that up with what the Lord has really burdened them with. The Camp leaders have shared example after example of how this looks. Also, Crossings is operating camps around the world to get the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to those who have not heard the name of Christ. The offering that is being taken up this week is going to such camps to help those who can’t afford to go. And Lastly…not by priority…..the camp is being very, very intentional in sharing the Gospel. As the Camp Director mentioned, they only have 3 days to get to 400 plus children, and they are being very deliberate and clear what that message is ….Jesus Christ, Crucified, Buried and Gloriously Raised from the dead by the Father, and trusting in Christ alone for the forgiveness of our sins. Please continue to pray for us as we continue to experience what God has planned for , continue to pray for our children that they may see God’s plan in there life….Believing in Him and Making Disciples, and continue to pray for the leaders of Crossings, that God would bless this ministry and bring many children to an understanding of who HE (God) is and a saving faith in HIM.
And on the fun side….i was able to take part in the blop today….in the middle of the lake there is this tower….around 20 feet off the water…under that there are two large and and i mean large pillows…you jump down to the pillow, then crawl out to the end of the pillow, and then someone else jumps on to the pillow, throwing you up and then into the water……very fun, pictures to follow…but lets just say i found the perfect Blopping Partner…..lots of air…..
In Christ
