Blessed are the flexible! Poor air quality is keeping us from heading outside, but we are making the most of it by gathering around board games, enjoying indoor activities, and spending quality time in fellowship together.

Sometimes the change of plans turns into an unexpected blessing!

Psalm 119:105 says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

Every day, we are surrounded by voices competing for our attention, each one claiming to know the right way to live. As followers of Christ, we must learn to recognize the voice of our Good Shepherd—the voice of truth—and faithfully follow Him above all else.

Today, our teams put this into practice during a blindfolded obstacle course. One at a time, each participant had to make their way through the course by listening only to the voice of their leader. At the same time, others shouted conflicting directions, trying to distract and redirect them. The only way to reach the end was to ignore the noise and trust the one voice leading them.

What a powerful picture of the Christian life. The world is full of distractions and competing messages, but God's Word provides the light we need for each step. As we learn to quiet the noise around us and listen for His voice, He is faithful to guide us on the path He has prepared for us.

High School Camp is officially underway!

Today was filled with new faces, familiar friends, laughter, games, and the excitement of everything that's ahead. As we kick off the week, our prayer is that each student would set aside the distractions of everyday life and be open to all that God wants to teach them.

Please join us in praying for our campers and leaders this week—that hearts would be softened, friendships would be strengthened, and lives would be transformed as we spend time in God's Word, worship together, and encourage one another in Christ. We can't wait to see what the Lord has in store!

Middle School Camp has been filled with exciting games, laughter, and unforgettable memories, but we've also been learning that our greatest joy isn't found in the activities—it is found in the Lord.

As students have spent time in God's Word, worship, prayer, and small group discussions, we've been reminded of Psalm 16:11: "You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right had are pleasures forevermore."

Our prayer is that campers leave tomorrow knowing that the deepest, most lasting joy comes from walking with Jesus every day.

Yesterday we played Human Hungry Hippos!! This game was SO much fun and had everyone laughing, cheering, and working together!

One of the greatest gifts of Christian community is learning to encourage one another—not just during games, but, more importantly, in our walk with Christ.

As Paul reminds us in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, we're called to "encourage one another and build one another up." Our prayer is that these friendships will continue long after camp ends, pointing one another to Jesus every step of the way.

Middle School Camp is off to an incredible start! 🎉

One of our favorite things about middle schoolers is their boundless energy and contagious enthusiasm. We've already packed the first couple of days with scavenger hunts, pool relays, Capture the Flag, and a head, shoulders, knees + toes pre-sermon game—and it's only Tuesday!

We can't wait to see all that God has in store for the rest of the week.

Psalm 66:16 says, "Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul."

We have been so blessed the past few weeks hearing from Doulos and staff who have felt led to share what the Lord has been teaching them. Through their devotionals, we've been encouraged, challenged, and reminded of God's faithfulness. It has been a joy to watch people openly and voluntarily share how God is working in their hearts.

Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

The past few days have been dedicated to serving both around the property and within the local community. Through these opportunities, we're learning that God has uniquely created each of us with a purpose. Whether we're serving at church, working a job, or helping those around us, He has already prepared ways for us to honor Him and impact others. Our role is to faithfully walk in those opportunities, knowing that everything we do can be used for His glory.

The first few days of Doulos 2 have been filled with fellowship, team-building, and plenty of fun! Through games, challenges, and shared experiences, we're learning the importance of working together and supporting one another.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 tells us, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!”

God created us for community—not to walk through life alone. As we've laughed, competed, and grown together, we've seen firsthand that we are stronger, more effective, and better equipped to face challenges when we work as a team and encourage one another. We're thankful for the friendships being formed and excited to see how the Lord continues to work in the lives of these students over the next two weeks!
