Whoa!!!!!!! Wednesday!!

Is it the middle of the week already?

Wednesday started off with an early morning fishing session and a 6AM run through the Camp Longridge Ropes Challenge Course. After breakfast, we joined the Praise Band in the Chapel for another joyful, jiving praise gathering, followed by Bible study led by Alan Daniels on the importance of prayer. Alan drove the concept home by emphasizing the importance of communication in human relationships--friends, family, significant others... we spend hours talking with them!-- how much more time should we then spend talking with God!

After a canteen break, we all headed down to the lake for our First Annual Wet Willy Water Slide Race where the Orange Team took the prize for fastest sliders. While down there, campers sank each other in canoes to win points for their teams and of course, we couldn't go the day without the water balloon fight!

Ropes course sessions continued throughout the day as we gathered for lunch and then, free time at the lake. After free time and a chance to relax and chat at dinner, we went to the Chapel for another session with Alan, this time on the importance of Scripture Memory-- the teams will compete to see which team collectively has the most verses memorized, and results are to come!

After going to the throne of God through music, Frank preached on the importance of sexual purity, and we ended the service on our knees, praying for each other and committing to remain pure until marriage.

The final event of the evening was the world famous Camp Longridge Talent show, where individuals, groups, cabins, teams, and the staff strutted their stuff, and everyone had a blast!

It's hard to believe tomorrow is already Thursday, but so far, it's been a fantastic week for students and staff alike at the 2007 Student Camp!

God Bless!
