Bonfire!





Awanita! That is Cherokee Indian for "youth". That is the camp that I had the opportunity to take our teenagers to this past weekend. I think that the teenagers had more fun there than anywhere we have been. Just to go to the top of "Hummer Hill" was an experience in itself. The 150 ft. slide, the zip line over the lake, and of course the mud pit: Ugh! (See pictures), but also an experience! To be in the mountains and see God's creation and in all of its beauty was amazing. We had a lot of time to spend before the throne of God as well. Our theme was "Broken". The three sessions were 1) Broken in our worship, 2) Broken over our sin, 3) Broken for the lost. It was a blessing to be a part of a service and during the invitation you look around and see teenagers weeping and getting things right with God. Others wrapped their arms around each other showering them with the power of prayer. It is an amazing thing to see teenagers (one more time) get in touch with God. Yes we had the most fun ever, but God really did show up. I hope that this is another spark that will lead to the biggest bonfire the world has ever seen.
