Camp Kolomoki, We Miss You Already!!!!

So we finished our first church and we were sad to leave, but thankful to get some rest! The church camp was in Blakely - a small town in south Georgia (not too far from Albany). Many of us were excited to be at this camp because it reminded us of camps we've been to in the past. We played lots and lots of games, taught lots of dances and songs, held Bible studies, and hung out and poured into the kids. Many of the things we taught were also things we needed to hear and learn. We had incredible opportunities to teach the kids
  • about being fully present in where God has you
  • that it is our job to BE LOVED by God
  • that God doesn't choose the prepared, but He prepares the chosen
  • what Godly relationships look like
  • about different ways to worship God
  • about being the light of the world when we leave camp
The kids, the counselors, and the adults seemed to get a ton out of how the Lord used us at camp and didn't want us to leave. Many of the campers asked if we would come back next year!

Our team had an incredible time working with all of the kids and it was incredible to see each team member's strengths as they spent time with the kids and led in their prospective areas! :0) Our team has had lots of laughs and a few struggles already and Jesus is teaching us SO much! I know we are all so incredibly thankful that we get to spend our summer this way!

We will post pictures a little bit later and maybe a few specific stories! Love love love!!!! :0)
