Best day of camp :D

Thursday – Running the race, Day 4 – Today was my favourite day!! 

We talked about how running the race of life with Jesus is better than running the race on our own, we will have obstacles still but Jesus can help us through. Aaron a guy on my team was part of up front team and he did this amazing example of our relationship with God, he had a stick the was black, and described how this us before we know God - sick - then he shook it and it extended into a stick of colours, the next was red and he described that Jesus died for us, that the red was like his blood, white was next which represented that God washes us clean so we are white as snow, blue which he described as the Holy Spirit which means God is always with us, green for growth, and Gold for heaven our final destination. 

The girl I had a vision about on Wednesday night was sitting next to me and Aaron asked the children to close their eyes and to put up their hand if they wanted to follow Jesus and have God on in their life and I prayed ‘Please be at work in these kids hearts, let them respond.’ And I looked up just to see this beautiful little girl put her hands up and there was no hesitation she threw both arms high up in the air as high as they could go as if she was reaching out to touch God, and I watched as she prayed to God and accepted Jesus as her saviour and it came from her heart, I felt so overwhelmed.

 I then I wanted to see where the boy was, the one in my last photo, I wanted to know if he had put up his hand and when I saw something that is an image you will hold in your heart for a lifetime. There he was at the back sitting in the lap of my team members and him right hand was lifted up and he was holding the hand of my team member while it was in the air and it was just so beautiful. I looked around the room and ¾ of the room of children had their hands up and I begun to weep, lives are being changed at this very moment, how can people not believe in God when he clearly gives life and hope to those who are in such dark situations. 

I saw the power of God in the life of this little girl I have mentioned she is 5 years and the first few days she had this sadness in her eyes and it seemed she hadn’t experienced the joy of being a child for a very long time, but by the end of camp after this prayer, she had genuine joy and peace and she was more of a recognisable child. 

A picture paints a thousand words............ God is in the business of transforming lives
