VOYAGER on WEDNESDAY…
Wednesday was absolutely jam-packed for our Voyagers, and once again the weather couldn't have been better! God has been so gracious in giving us another beautiful day at camp.
After breakfast, everyone gathered for outdoor chapel where missionary Emily Greenawalt shared about her ministry in Cambodia. The campers not only heard how God is working there but also learned about Cambodian culture and what life is like on the other side of the world.
From there it was off to morning activities before enjoying a delicious lunch of hamburgers, a salad bar, and cookies. Then it was back to the lake for another afternoon of swimming, kayaking, and the ever-popular canoe tipping!
Of course, the campers had a plan of their own. They successfully lured Pastor Brant into a carefully orchestrated ambush, and before he knew it, he was completely submerged in the waters of Lake Raystown! Judging by the cheers, it may have been the highlight of the day for a few campers. (Water-logged Pastor Brant may have a different opinion.)
Back at camp, everyone enjoyed the famous Mantowagan "Thanksgiving Dinner" complete with all the trimmings. After supper came our "surprise" cabin inspections—although the campers know we're coming...we just like to pretend it's still a surprise! Congratulations to Cabin 4 and Cabin 10 for winning the inspection prize, while Cabin 3 enthusiastically accepted the coveted "Be Better" Award with great enthusiasm and plenty of laughs.
Our evening worship was led by the Mantowagan Band, and Miss Geri Roth challenged the campers from the life of Joseph, reminding them that God often accomplishes His greatest purposes during seasons of waiting. The fun continued after chapel with a camp-wide drawing challenge where cabins competed to create the best Pictionary-style sketches of objects found around camp. The night wrapped up with the always-entertaining Mantowagan Game Show. Just when it looked like the boys might pull out the victory, the girls staged a dramatic comeback, winning on a Double Jeopardy question in the final moments!
The day ended with cabin devotions, and one of the greatest highlights wasn't part of the schedule at all. Counselors shared that many campers stayed up asking thoughtful, deeper theological questions about God and His Word. We are thankful to see the Lord working in hearts throughout the week and would appreciate your continued prayers as God continues His work in the lives of these young people.
Do you ever feel like you are a failure and without any value?
Consider the story of "Play-Doh" modeling clay that we all know and love. What we know of as "Play-Doh" was actually created as a way to clean soot from wallpaper in homes heated with coal stoves in the 1930's. This creative cleaning idea never became popular. Decades later, this "failed product" was repurposed as a toy for kids, and the rest is history. Just like "Play-Doh", when you place your trust in Jesus and follow in His footsteps, you are REPURPOSED for service in His Kingdom. In the Bible, 2 Corinthians 5:17 says "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." As Jesus teaches you through His words and other believers, you will become more like Him. You will be REPURPOSED and used by God in ways far beyond what you can imagine. Have fun and learn about your true purpose in life at Camp Mantowagan this summer!
