I would like to thank our Burney, California hosts Cheri and George Chapman for allowing us to invade their humble home and for the great feasts we had every day! I especially thank them for the caramel coffee that they sent with us to the last camp as someone forgot a coffee pot!
They manages to feed nine mouths to beyond contentment daily while we helped with the VBS "Watch Your Step" Boulder Springs Ranch.
The VBS was so much fun! The kids came in and enjoyed worship so much they wanted to join in the fun and became a "JR Worship Team on Friday!
Each group put on a small skit as part of thier day, these children called themselves the Rattle Snakes and were lead by De Angelo, Beverly and Heather. They are seen here preparing for one of their skits.
As a delightful break from the day 's work we took a hike to Burney Falls itself! |
Sometimes you need a little help with hand movements! |
From VBS we went on to Redeem the Time- and Take back what the enemy stole from us!
When we do things we know we shouldn't we end up with changed lives. We can't go back and change what we did wrong, but what we can do is get forgiveness and direction from the Lord as to how we can go on to do the right thing next time! Even if your mistake was painting your hair pink!
At the J12 camp we sang songs around the camp fire, made omelets in a baggie and cooked them in a pot over the open fire, and had chocolate-less s'mores! We swam with the fishes and found shells in the rapids! It was a great group of kids and the discussions were good! We taked about giving up the wrong things we choose to do and taking more time to talk to God about things each day, starting up a daily Bible reading plan and following the ones available to us; so that we can grow closer to Him.
Most of all God was there!
