Camp is in swing. Tonight we have made it into scene 5 of God's story with the stories of when God flooded the whole earth and when God gave Abraham and Sarah a child. The students are beginning to show interest with their answers in large group settings. The small groups and the Story are taking place in the same room, which gives the students, leaders, and speaker an opportunity to have a "large-group discussion." After each scene of the story the speaker asks questions for the whole group to answer so that the students can "re-tell" the story back to the speaker. After these questions each group spends time discussing more questions about the story and their own lives; in a smaller group setting.
The students are getting deeper into the story of God and things are getting interesting. The students are beginning to struggle and discuss questions like; "Why did God kill everyone on earth with a flood?" "Why did it take God 25 years to finally give Sarah and Abraham a child?"
It is quite incredible to look at the story of God in a bigger perspective. Seeing everything that happened rather than just bits and pieces.
Please be praying for our students, they are such awesome people and I would love to see some of their hearts changed by hearing HIS story! It changed mine the first time I heard it just as they are hearing it this week. I love these students.
Miss everyone back home!

There is no better student than one who is asking questions. Particularly with Bible Study, is shows the Holy Spirit moving in their hearts. Praise be to God that you are there to answer them.
