Island “Week in Review” video from Word of Life:

Well, it’s the last full day of a great week of camp. I’m thrilled to report that one of our students trusted Christ for salvation yesterday, and many of the students made significant commitments to follow Him more closely. I praise God for the way He’s worked throughout the week.

Please continue to pray for God’s work in their lives, and for our safe travels tomorrow.

We are scheduled for students to be picked up at the church at 9 pm on Saturday, July 11. After an updated schedule from the camp this evening, it looks like we may be able to return significantly sooner. If that’s that case, we will contact parents in advance for an updated pickup time.

Highlight from today: sitting with our teens all of our teens on the Island for about 45 minutes, listening to how God’s working in their hearts and heads, and cheering them on as they discussed the commitments they’re making for Christ. Be sure to ask them about it when they return!

If you’re following along online, you’ve seen that our students are having a fantastic time at camp. What you can’t tell from the pictures – is that dozens of students trusted Christ for salvation last night at both the Island and Ranger camps.

Praise God! Please continue to pray for God to work in their hearts. Tomorrow night our students will be challenged to trust Christ, not necessarily for salvation, but for greater surrender in specific areas of their lives. I’ve been praying that they would allow the Holy Spirit freedom to work in their hearts and minds in new and powerful ways.

I learned yesterday that chapel sessions should streaming live at wollive.org. Check it out for a taste of what the students are experiencing. I’m not sure the quality – but I’m eager to hear.

Lastly – before all of the pictures (which is why you’re really here…), I want to thank these ladies – who have dedicated an entire week of their summer and time away from their families to invest in the lives of our students.  I’m grateful for each of them – and they’re loving on our students well.

Our week of Word of Life Summer Camp is off to a great start. We had hassle-free travels, and all of our students are checked into camp, with activities already underway.

Please continue to pray for safety and spiritual impact.
