Please be in prayer for the effectiveness of our evening sessions. The worship is edifying, the testimonies powerful, and the preaching full of winsomely presented truth. However, just as there are those given the grace to delight in it and benefit by it, there are those who resist it and seem disengaged during out sessions.
The heat today, which reached between 86-88 degrees, served to heat the chapel to even higher levels before our evening session. Add over 100 people and the heat only seems to build and not disepate, even as the evening cools. This uncomfortable warmth becomes a distraction even for the most interested and some campers seem to check out altogether. This is a spiritual battle first and foremost, which ought to move us to seek God to act on behalf of his Name. It also calls upon us to bring practical relief. We know the campers are well hydrated, but not being able to cool down in the evening can bring more than distraction, but also discomfort.
To this end we are going to attempt something we've not done before. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we are going to move our session from the chapel to an outdoor, open sided pole-barn following our singing. This ought to provide us with cooler surroundings for both physical well-being and greater potential to focus on the important truths being proclaimed. But no solution is without drawbacks. Be in prayer for God to use this act of love and compassion toward our campers and staff to promote the gospel tomorrow night.
God has made this possible through wise counsel and advance provision. Having Josh Griep along providing sound and media support has been a blessing beyond imagining as his excellent, redundant preparations and expertise will allow us to have amplification and good sound in both the chapel and pole barn simultaniously. We thank God for Josh Griep and his attitude of service toward us all!
