Just two days after Young Life camp, we packed up for another week of camp, this time for our middle schoolers. Tired but excited we took our 10 hour journey to southern Missouri to Kids Across America. This Christian sports camp is known for being hype and giving kids the time of their lives while pointing them directly to the Ultimate Source of joy: Jesus Christ.
Not only did our kids have fun in the 90+ degree weather, but many commitments and re-dedications were made in their faith. On one night in particular, called "The Cross Talk," the kids were shown an amazing skit and depiction of the crucifixion of Christ. Tears rolled down eyes as they poured out confessions, fears, and desires to be who they know they are being called to be. Please pray for both our boys and girls in middle school. School started up just today. This when the going gets tough as they try to walk out their beliefs in their worlds. I pray that camp was not just a spiritual high but one that fuels them all year. We had quite the week and as the chant is frequently shouted on the camp grounds of KAA2: "At the deuce it goes down!" It went down. :)
