I'm happy to report that backward Wednesday has been a big success. If you haven't followed the Camp Shiloh facebook group posts you have missed the updates that today was backward Wednesday. We flipped the whole schedule around starting with dinner for breakfast. The morning muster was hilarious with campers dressed with their clothes on backward. Groups walked in backward, sang songs backward, read things backward. The morning muster was capped off with Sister Kate's cabin performing a hilarious testimonial for “crack patch.”
For breakfast we had Philly Cheese Steaks, Chicken Wings, and Salad. Woo hoo!! Following breakfast we headed out to the field for our main event, where campers had to catch dodge balls in sheets launched from three person sling-shots. The enthusiam picked up as the event went on and again the campers surprised us with their incredible creativity.
Last night Pastor Chris Wood finished up his time with the campers and we were so blessed by his ministry here at camp. He spent a great deal of time interacting with campers and imparted a powerful message of kingdom living. As Pastor Chris left we transitioned this morning to hear Pastors John & Kristy camp share on destiny. We dearly love them at Camp Shiloh and were encouraged by their message this morning.
After lunch we had an afternoon where the camp was split into two different groups. One group received prayer ministry while the other group worked on team building activities within their cabins. We were blessed to have several ministers and friends of Camp Shiloh come to minister as a part of that time. All in all we had nine teams of people praying for the campers. It was a powerful time and we were thankful to be able to have each cabin group go together during the ministry time. We are so thankful for those who traveled to come and minister today. Many traveled three hours to come and be a part of that time. I'm looking forward to hearing the testimonies of how God spoke during that time.
We experienced some rain this afternoon and evening and were thankful to have had the change in schedule to accommodate the rainy weather.
Keeping in theme with the day the next meal served was “brinner” as Sister Laurie likes to refer to it... breakfast for dinner. The pancakes in the rainy weather was a nice fit. As I write this campers are at swim, boat, and fish enjoying the company of each other. It's fun to see them out in the rain playing frisbee and in general just having a great time.
Tonight we're going to split into four different small groups to reflect with the campers on what God has been speaking to them this week, giving them some personal time just to listen to God. We continue to thank you for your prayers and support for us this week. The week has been going wonderful but we are asking for every one of God's purposes to be fulfilled.
