Brothers and sisters in Christ I would proudly say that our chaperones did not just survive camp but thrived!!! We had plenty of fun soaking up the sun and the surf! Yet, please pray for our students who got a little too close and personal with the sun, those poor students learned the importance of sunscreen the hard way! Minus the couple of sunburns camp could not have gone smoother. Your students made my first camp experience with Bridge Students a true blessing.
God's presence was in abundance as students were engaged in the big sessions and in small group. Camp is awesome but the true battle begins this weekend the weeks to come. Some things you can do to help your student stay close and connected in their faith journey....
-Please ask your student daily what they are reading in the Bible and how they are growing their relationship with Christ. If you are able read the word as a family! (Please reach out if you need help finding a reading plan) We want to continue to use what God did at camp and open the door for him to keep doing his work at Ross Bridge.
-Join me in praying for our students to stay on fire for the Lord as the days, weeks, and months pass.
-Ask your student about the Journaling method they learned at camp. Journaling helps us remember what we read in God's word and helps reinforce what we learned.
-Last but not least, lead from example. If you are in God's word with your child this will help model and normalize scripture reading for your student.
I am excited to see the seeds planted at camp sprout into mighty trees. God is doing big things and our summer is just now getting started!!!
