Hello from Cove Crest

As I said when you dropped off your teens I would update the blog with whats happening, well dare I say alot, there's an old saying no news is good news, and I do have good news, we went white water rafting today and although a number of us got wet, no one got hurt, PRAISE GOD! Your teens are amazing, it did not take them long to jump into camp head on. Your teens are not having a problem fitting in.

I feel I need to let you know what's going on as far as what they are hearing. The theme of the week is EPIC ADVENTURE it's set with a mid-evil theme the camp decor looks great. Along with this EPIC theme the week started out with your teens hearing about the EPIC Love of God the Father, and how much God loves them where they are, and the fact that it is no accident that they are here. This epic love is for all of them like the love their own father has for them, never ending and unconditional.

Day 2 the theme was EPIC RESCUE, this rescue was how God can rescue them from their sin through the sacrament of reconciliation. All of your teens went to the sacrament some of them for the first time in a very long time. I don't have to tell you how things really began to change at that point. The freedom that comes with the sacrament of confession simply cannot be measured.

Day 3 (Today) EPIC SPIRIT The power of the Holy Spirit was given permission to take over the lives of your teens. This saving power moved through them and some remarkable things took place in them, surrender to God's grace through His Holy Spirit was shown tonight.

Please continue to pray for your kids God's not finished with them yet, as we continue with the

EPIC ADVENTURE, on the ropes course Wednesday. This is much safer than Rafting I promise.

If you are wondering what you can do, please continue to pray for YOUR teen, and know that they are in GREAT hands.

May our loving Father bless all of you back home, I am your servant in Christ
