Camp Extreme was AWESOME! The theme was "Inside Out" and our focus scripture was Romans 12:2, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
The students learned about.....
Transforming their mind by studying Nicodemus
Transforming their heart by studying Peter
Transforming their actions by studying Paul
Transforming the world by studying Acts 1:8
We took 26 students and 5 sponsors. Our days were filled with bible study, worship, mission activities, swimming, recreation, zip lines, ropes course, archery, crafts, and much more.
We learned about a ministry called Sweet Sleep. It is a ministry who provides beds, mattresses, pillows, mosquito nets, and Bibles to orphans in other countries. This week Sweet Sleep had a team in Gulu, Uganda and needed more mosquito nets. These nets literally save children's lives by preventing Malaria. The goal was to raise enough money for 245 nets (each net cost $8). The students and sponsors at Camp Extreme gave almost $3100 which provided 385 nets. The students also wrote letters to the children and made heart shaped pillows.
Special thanks to our extra drivers who took us or brought us home..........Stacey Allen, Karen Jackson, Darla Nagy, and Rebecca Lashaway.
We had an incredible week!
