"We've got spirit, yes we do! We've got spirit, how 'bout you?!" That is all the staff heard tonight before the worship service. The heat nor the long day slowed down these kids' desire for the coveted spirit stick. But at the end of the day, the Green Team from South Cliff Baptist Church were the ones who earned the right to hoist the biggest spirit stick yet over their heads.
After a morning message from Van, in which the campers studied Matthew, chapter 5, the afternoon kicked off with blobb-
ing, sliding and of course, rec games. Rec consisted of Wet 'n Wild water games, horseback riding, slingshot alley and making bracelets at arts and crafts.Following an awesome dinner of tacos (seriously, they were really good), our praise band led a wonderful time of worship and Van again spoke to all the campers. This was the most special part of the day. Van taught the campers the way God wants Christians to live their lives. He explained that God wants an active relationship with them; that they are to continually be growing in Christ, doing what He wants them to do and living with active faith. One of the verses he shared was Philippians 2:23, "For it is God wh
o works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose."
Thank you for all you prayers. Please continue to pray for your campers, their
counselors, our staff and the ranch.
