It's no secret

Jeff is doing a good job of setting up leaders to have great, open cabin times. Every night after he talks, kids and leaders go back to their cabins for cabin time. During cabin time they discuss the questions that Jeff has written before hand for them to apply and process what is said during that night's message. Leaders are saying that their cabin times are going exceptionally well with kids really opening up.

On night 2 the kids anonymously wrote their secrets on a card. Reading the cards was heart breaking. Kids, as we know deal with so much! No kid wrote a silly card. I've included a few below.

On night 3 Janna helped in Jeff's message to show how we all have chosen to do our own thing and have turned our backs on our heavenly father. Doing our own thing or "sin" was demonstrated by Janna turning her back on Jeff. She did such a good job. It was scary! (See photo) In fact she kept her back to him, folded her arms and had her head cocked in such a way that the crowed laughed because it was so cute! Walking down the boardwalk takes twice as long as it did before with leaders and kids stopping to talk to Janna. We tried to get Janna to do it last year, but she would not!

Cool story: A kid from Eatonville came to camp not believing in God at all. The second day, after hearing 2 of Jeff's talks and watching the work crew (kids who serve for free), he told his leader that his faith is now a 5 (on a scale from 1-100). By the end of the week he might be at a 25! That's a huge step for a kid who walked off the boat with no faith or desire to believe in God.

Tonight is the message of the cross. Please pray for Jeff as he tries to explain a very complex subject to an unchurched audience in a short amount of time.
