Coming home from Camp:
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
Last week I wrote that we took the 8-12 year old children to a Christian camp for the weekend. Well, today in our church at Zion, they presented what they learned. It was awesome! The scripture base is 2 Chronicles 7:14 above. They all could had the scripture memorized and said it in front of everyone, one by one.
They also made bracelets with the colors on and described what each color means. Gold is the road to heaven, black is sin, red is the blood of Christ, white is forgiveness from sin, blue is baptism, green is growing in faith. They can all tell you what each one means.
They did a drama where there is a bench with a sign that says SIN, DO NOT TOUCH. Well, the person touches it. Then the witchdoctor comes along and says that she can free him but she too becomes stuck. Then the strong man comes and says he can free them for he is powerful but he too becomes stuck. Then the police man comes and says she can free them but she too becomes stuck and on and on. It was not until the Christian came with her Bible to tell of the love of Christ that one became free. Then that person went to tell the next and he became free. Then that person went to tell another and she became free. One by one they were all free because of the love and power of Jesus Christ, not by their own power.
We cannot be free with our own power but only by the love of God can we be free.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
We then had the pleasure of hearing them sing. WOW! Want a joyful noise unto the Lord!
A special thank you goes out to Mark, the missionary in Namibia and the team from Pennsylvania that led the camp! Our children were blessed and we were blessed from them! God is working BIG in Namibia!
Oh how blessed I was when I was checking out your website and came across this post. It was such a great pleasure to meet you, Lorna and Travis. I was so inspired by your story of how God lead you to Namibia. When I read how the children loved camp and shared what they had learned it made my heart sing. What a blessing to be part of bringing that camp to Katima. May the Lord continue to provide and bless you and your kids. You all touched our hearts more than you know. God bless!!
