Village Bible Church || Aurora | Indian Creek | Sugar Grove | IL

Sunday church service was quite different from our service. This Sunday they packed about 70 people in one room, plus 60 campers and 26 leaders.  The campers were on the floor and the counselors in the front row.  Mark McGee even got really technical and put live feed downstairs in the lunch room (the lunch room is right below the chapel).  Not to compare things to last year, but they have really gotten high-tech this year.  They have a huge TV screen instead of a projector and a really nice sounds system for it.   They even got to do live feed.  Most of this stuff was donated to them – God is awesome!

There was no real plan for the rest of the day.  Our cabin time was spent playing Bible Mad Gab which was really cool because some of the things that they had to guess were Bible stories, and then they would ask what those stories were about.

Since this is my last blogpost, this is my last chance to share through the blog what God has done in my life while I was here.  Before I left I had been struggling with where God wanted me – as in what He wanted me to go to school for.  All my life I said I wanted to be a music teacher, but about a month ago God threw a curve ball at me and said, "Jenn, you’re going the wrong way! You need to be in Camp Ministry."  It wasn't till I came here that He really opened my eyes.  I got to talk to some leaders about it and they all really gave me good advice!  Most of it was that they knew they wanted to do camp ministry but they didn't know how to use it either. But it’s not me that's using my Camp Ministry major, it’s God that's using it. Coming here helped me to put even more trust in God.  It sounds weird, but I have a lot of trust in God with my life safety-wise, but now I have more trust in him with my future!  Now even though I still feel like I'm going into my major basically blind, I at least know that God is going to guide my steps and lead me in His direction!

There is still so much to tell you all about the week and so many stories I didn't write.  If you have any questions or want to hear any more stories, just ask me or any of the team members!
