The name of our cabin, Philippi, was based off of a letter that Paul wrote to the Philippians and the Churchof Philippi. This letter was one of the shortest that Paul wrote, but it was filled with thankfulness to thePhilippians for their love. In his letter, Paul also urges the people to become more like Christ or to becomemore one with the Lord. Other main topics that Paul touched on in his letter are the importance of prayer,friendship, and love for one another. Our cabin read through these topics as Paul wrote them and discussedthem throughout the week. The girls, as well as the counselors in our cabin were nothing short of energetic,

entertaining, and downright fun! I thank God for these ladies and girls who helped teach me this week, as Ilearned right along with them. I was so blessed! -Maggie Banks

CHOIR

Campers, Counselors, & Friends~You all are such a blessing to me. I love to lead you all in worship every year. It is such a humbling experiencefor me to stand in front of you all and listen as you sing praises to our King! There's nowhere I'd rather bethan standing right there before each of you as we give God our worries, struggles, & fears. You guys have allblessed me tremendously! I pray that you will never forget to praise Him, like we do at camp, every single dayof the year. And remember, throughout the year, when you don't think you can take another step, He'sstanding there arms open wide! He will be ready to embrace you in His arms. Sing it with me now, "All Iknow is I'm not home yet; This is not where I belong! Take this world and give me Jesus; this is not where Ibelong!" Know that I would do anything in the world for any of you; I'm available 24/7! Love you all & GodBless! Love & Prayers,-Caty Davis :)

Where I Belong by Building 429

Sometimes it feels like I'm watching from the outsideSometimes it feels like I'm breathing but am I alive

I won't keep searching for answers that aren't here to find

All I know is I'm not home yetThis is not where I belong

Take this world and give me JesusThis is not where I belong

So when the walls come falling down on me

And when I'm lost in the current of a raging seaI have this blessed assurance holding me.



When the earth shakes I wanna be found in YouWhen the lights fade I wanna be found in You

All I know is I'm not home yet

This is not where I belongTake this world and give me JesusThis is not where I belong

DATING

Teachers: TR & Lisa Mahaffey

Our class was based around love, dating, and relationships. In our class we had Allie Perry, Lacy Keith,

Kaylee Lane, Katlynn Gremling, Emily Fouch, Santanna Masters, Morgan Corkrean, Lacey Holderby, TylerBoschert & Ben Standifer. We discussed all the different traits that we must look for in a healthy relationshipthat revolves around God. Our main biblical focus was around the story of Ruth & Boaz and how that is howa Godly relationship should always be. We focused on how you should not give up your morals or lower yourstandards for anyone. God must be first in any relationship and we must choose him first. We all had a greattime in this class and all learned an abundance of information. We will all be able to go home with a head andheart full of knowledge that will help us in our relationships and our closer walk with the Lord.

DEFENDING YOUR FAITH

Teachers: Ben & Laura Banks

We were taught good pointers on "Defending your Faith." Ben taught us to always begin the discussion witha question so that way you throw the ball into their court. Some questions he told us to use were, "What doyou mean?", and "How do you know?" We were taught also not to be arrogant and treat everyone equal,don't scare them off! Also he taught us when people pull the ole "If there was such a God why would he letbad things happen?" With the way Atheist believe there is no God, so who determines good and evil? Withthe way they believe their system is built on power and weakness/survival of the fittest. So there is somecentral message that everyone has followed, when determining whats good and what is evil. Also the only

way to prove that there is a God is by faith alone! A lot of people bash faith. Well don't you use it every day?For instance when you sit down don't you have faith in the chair that it will hold you, don't you? Also ourclass talked about the Evolution Theory and the Intelligent Design. In Science for something to be provenyou have to observe it or it has to be able to reproduce. Well with Evolution no one can observe it because it

was 100's of years ago and it doesn't reproduce. We also talked about the origin of life! The world looks like it

was built with engineering, like its designed. As if God created it with age so no one could know just how oldthe Earth is! There are also "Fine Tuning Arguments." Like "Our location in the solar system, if we were 1%closer our oceans would evaporate, if were 5% further our oceans would freeze over." There are many morearguments if you are interested get in touch with Ben! This was our class! I have to say I enjoyed this class

very much because taking real life situations and teaching us how to handle them in the Christian way willhelp us to better our Christ like walk, and show us a wonderful way to spread our light to others! God bless!-Madison Adams
