Tonight was quite challenging... Pat challenged us all to look at ourselves in a new way. He covered us with Scripture showing us that we are a new creation, a chosen race, and a righteous people because of the blood that Christ shed. To illustrate this, he discussed the metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a butterfly. Simply stated, butterflies don't live and hang out where caterpillars hang out. So, why do we find ourselves going back to those same old habits that we did before we found our identity in Christ? Christ offers us the fullness of joy, yet we so often settle for so much less. The students responded well to God's Word tonight.
They also had a full day of recreation, ministry, and ball of all sorts. Our church entered a volleyball tournament, and we didn't fare too well (lost 11-4). But the blessing of the day was the fact that several of our students got to go off campus and minister to some kids at the Boys and Girls Club. It was great to hear those testimonies.
Pray that the last full day tomorrow will be productive and refreshing. I am going to be VERY busy, though, so I am not sure if I will be able to update. If I do not, I cannot wait to see you guys Saturday as we return!
Grace and Peace,
Clay
