One of the things I love about working with our teens – there’s never a dull moment, we’re always having fun. There were lots of laughs tonight as we played “Bite the Bag.”1240100_506226216121855_199861312_nThis past Sunday our Haiti Mission Team brought a report of all God did in and through us during our summer mission trip.

2013-07-05 Summer Camp Day 6

Parents: Depending on traffic and when the teens get off the island, we plan to be back at the church as early as 7:30.  We will call when we have a better idea.  Teens are expected to help unpack and clean the van before they leave.

Our week of summer camp is coming to an end.  We’ve been blessed with safety, health, fun, and amazing connections with friends and God!

I encourage you to chat with our teens when they get back.  Ask them what God taught them, and what kind of decisions and commitments they made.  I think you’ll be encouraged at what God is doing in their lives.

Please pray for safety as we travel home tomorrow. Thanks for sending your teens to this amazing week at camp.  I pray for lasting effects in their lives.

Instead of embedding pictures, here are a few links to get pictures and video from the week.



2013-07-04 Summer Camp Day 5

God gave us a beautiful day to enjoy camp and our nation’s birthday.  The day was filled with contests and activities, as usual.  The Bible hours were powerful and challenging. God is truly blessing us here.

One of the highlights of the day was seeing Schroon Lake celebrate Independence Day. Throughout the day the lake filled up with boats. The town had a parade, and just after dusk, they put on a beautiful fireworks display over the lake that we all could see from the island – a special treat for sure.

Another highlight for me was devotions at the end of the evening.  The counselors are doing a great job on engaging our teens on spiritual matters and challenging them for Christ. But tonight I got to lead devotions with both the boys and the girls together. It was exciting to hear them share about the decisions and commitments they’re making for Christ.

Here are a few pictures from our day. You can see the rest of the album at https://www.oneeightyone.org/PicsVids/Pictures/tabid/44/AlbumID/517-97/Default.aspx.
