We then went to worship as a group with about 500 other students. Stuart Hall is a very gifted communicator and he definitely brought a powerful message last night. He talked about how doubt is something that so many of us struggle with because there is so much about God that is unexplainable. Our lives are overshadowed by what is unexplainable. He challenged us to "flip" (camp theme) what is unexplainable with what is undeniable about God, so that what is undeniable about God overshadows everything else in our lives. This really spoke to our students, as several of them shared that they have indeed struggled with doubt and frustration in their walk with God. I told our students that doubt can be a springboard to greater learning, or it could also lead to apathy and frustration. I reminded them that it's ok to doubt and challenged them to investigate their doubts.
Today is Tuesday and we were randomly chosen as the Youth Group of the Day! Student Life took our picture and interviewed our students. This information will appear on their website sometime later today. Our students are in bible study right now and then we'll have lunch together. Afterward, we are going to split our group into teams and have a photo scavenger hunt this afternoon. The weather here is dramatically different than back home. It rained quite a bit last night and this morning it was downright cold, but the sun is out now and it's going to be a beautiful day. Please continue to pray for the Holy Spirit to move without interference. Things are going great! Here are a few pictures (I'll have more tomorrow).
It was very foggy outside, but it actually makes for a cool picture.
Brothers.....what can you say! More to come later,
Nolan
