Each day at Grace Adventures Day Camp it becomes even more evident that God is here. He shows up everyday in both small and big ways.
We have all known from the beginning that this is God's ministry but each day, I see it more and more. Here are just a few small examples.
This year we began a middle school portion of camp called SIT camp. The majority of the kid's involved are members of Grace Community Church and Light Company the middle school ministry, therefore they all know each other pretty well. As fitting with our mission, God brought to us a few non- Grace goers which could have been a little uncomfortable for a middle school student coming into a group that already has established relationships. BUT NOT WHEN GOD'S INVOLOVED. He saw to it that the newcomers would have some other people around to build relationships with. In fact, two of the students have formed such a close relationship, that the newcomer was invited to attend Light Company on Sunday with her new friend. God, you are good.
Another example is our staff, each and every one of them were put here for a reason. I believe that God put each counselor into the exact positions they are in. Nikki, our Servant Team counselor came on at the very last minute but I know that God put her here for a reason. She has the heart of a Servant which is pretty cool being that she is teaching and leading high school students how to be servants of Christ.

Iman is yet another example, she is working with our middle school program and ha
s a heart of gold and the patience most mother's should have. Her patience and heart have proven incredibly powerful and inspiring. God also orchestrated Jonathan's involvement at camp. We are truly blessed to have such a strong male leader among us. His pink hat and goofy spirit help to encourage, energize and motivate the camper's on a daily basis. These are just a few of the staff stories, because if I were to tell them all, I would be here all night long and I really need to get to bed so that I can be alert tomorrow. I don't want to miss any glimpse of God's blessings.
