Friday Junior High 2: Prayer

What a day for the final full day of Junior High 2. Breakfast consisted of egg mc muffin sandwitches, which most people were very excited about! After breakfast and the final cabin clean up the campers headed to chapel where the skit showed the chaoice that the characters had between the search for the king and the treasure of the nemesis which was gold and riches, and the clif hanger of the day was which treasure they would choose. The campers also learned a few words in lingala, a language used in Congo, from our resident missionaires. Once personal devotions were over they went to their second and last skill class of the week. Everybody enjoyed their time and they got good and hungry for lunch, whch was corn dogs. The filling lunch made for some sleep campers, so k-bar was much welcomed by all. They rested up for socko! Another very popular game in which the campers attempt to take socks off eachother. During free time the camp was bustling with last minute visits to every part of camp. The Craft hall was full of kids making sure they got their lanyards, the tower was busy with kids excited to go down the zip line, and the beach was busy with campers making sure they got one last time on the saturn. Dinner was full of wonderful fellowship, followed by mail call where the campers played the guess the Disney song game. The Camper Skit Show followed, and following an opening rap performed by three of our staff members the skits began and the cabins showed off their creativity, humor, and in the case of some cabins, a lesson that they learned this week. High energy chapel was next, where, after songs and going through all of the verses, the speaker told us about pray. He gave us different examples of prayer, some of them more serious, and some of them kind of silly, but through all of the examples we were reminded that God is listening to every prayer, no matter how it is sad, and that through prayer, he also wants to share what he has to say with us, he wants us to listen to him, because there is so much that he wants to tell us. The closing bonfire was held in lakeside chapel because it had been raining earlier, and the ampitheatre was still a little bit too wet for the camp to go there. However, lakeside was still a wonderful place to have the closing fire and to hear about all of the things the kids had learned this week.
