Sorry for not having an update yesterday. We've had some internet issues.
Monday night ended with our first Late Nite. The guys competed against the girls in a peel and eat lemon challenge, hair style challenge, and balloon and pantyhose challenge with the guys sweeping the night. After Late Nite our students were sent off to their rooms and some went to bed on time and other, well, let's just say they sleep better for night two.
Tuesday morning began with our first Morning Celebration with a morning show hosted by our two American soccer hooligans (Kem Lindsay & Casey Shaw) who read news from the day and award group leader of the day. Our worship team lead in worship and Matt Agee began our morning sermon series out of Isaiah 6. Matt challenged our students to be confronted with the holiness of God. Recreation on Tuesday was team building games, with most everyone's favorite being the group skiing game. Small group Bible study #2 returned to the book of Daniel to see that the truth of God is to be shared with others. Free time saw most of our students at the beach and in the water until an attack by jellyfish larva that caused all of them to head for the shore in a hurry. Last night's worship was incredible with Jeff challenging our students to see how Jesus was holy in his birth, life, death, and is still holy. He also presented the gospel last night. Please pray for our students who are lost that heard the gospel last night. We ended the night again with Late Nite. The girls finally won a late night game but the boys are still winning 5-1.
Wednesday morning began with Celebration and were greeted again by our soccer hooligans. Dustin preached the second message from Isaiah 6 and challenged our students to understand their sin in light of the holiness of God. Our student had water day at recreation with giant water balloons and water buckets everywhere. Their 3rd small group Bible study was back in the book of Daniel to see that God would always be with them. More later...

Sounds like the week is off to a great start. We have been praying that kids will be impacted by what they hear from the leadership and be drawn to the Holiness of God. Wish we were there!

Continuing to pray that those that hear the Word of God will draw close to Him and come to know Jesus as their personal Savior in a real, lasting way!
