Well I am sitting in my new friends' dorm room writing this post on my first day off since last Thursday. It's been go, go, go here as we're preparing the curriculum and our hearts for what God's gonna do here in Jackson. I feel pretty good about the Bible Study material. It'll be cool to share with these kiddos the Gospel. There will be some kids who are confused about their parents' divorce, neglected by their classmates, and searching for something to fill that void in their lives. The theme for Fuge this year is Pursuit and it's an awesome topic to talk about because God is constantly pursuing us with a love that we don't fully comprehend. It's exciting to be around people who want to share this awesome news to others and have the same passion that I have.
After some training, I finally understand why Fuge is such an awesome camp. We are trained for just about any situation and the focus is on the students. The staff comes from different backgrounds and can relate to the students that come through. I'm excited to be doing Centrifuge because I get to do Rec with my Bible Study! (btw, if you have any good cheer ideas for the Bolts, I would love to hear it!)
This is also a short post, but I hope to have some stories that I can share as the summer progresses. If you could be praying for the staff here that they have energy, for the students that come through will be willing to accept God's love, and for protection for everybody I would greatly appreciate it. Here's some Scripture that has been laid on my heart I hope you find encouraging:
"I will go before you and level mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name." Isaiah 45:2-3
God is powerful and will fight for you, literally. We can't be stopped.
In Love,
Bill
