Lessons from Jonah this Week


'Playing with fire' wasn’t just what went on last night under the stars as the campers made smores. 'Playing with fire' also refers to sin. People come to camp thinking they have nothing to offer our Lord, but when we submit ourselves to Him, He can use each of us to do some AMAZING work for the Kingdom!

'You did not choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.'  - John 15:16 

Even when you have sinned more than once, He gives you many chances to do the right thing. 

'The Lord isn’t really slow in keeping His promise, as some think. No, He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but everyone to repent.' - 2 Peter 3:9

Eternal life is the gift offered for us to follow Him. This week at camp the words of Jonah are being taught to express this message through chapel to connect with our campers.  Please pray that the campers can catch a glimpse of how precious they are to God.
