Midweek reflections of FUGECamps @ PCB

Fuge @ PCB is like no other in my opinion. I have had the opportunity to experience several fuge locations and I do not intend to demean others but for our group, God has used this place to really meet the students in a unique way.
This week, our group has been excellent (so far)! I could not ask for a better group of students. Tonight, church group devotion revealed a maturity and spiritual depth in our students that we have prayed for. I am watching new leaders bud right before my eyes. We are seeing lost students come to Christ! The majority of the students in the mission track are from our church and they are learning how to witness on the beach! My seniors are receiving special perks (from me) and they love it!
A cool thing I am doing to connect parents to camp is streaming live video clips to this blog, my facebook profile, and posting links to the videos on twitter. I have received such great feedbback from parents! They love it! It has allowed me to give them a portion of what we are doing here but more than that is the long term effects of strengthening our trust relationship between parents and the student ministry. Its amazing how something so simple can do so much! I look forward to partnering with parents as we equip and empower them to be the primary spiritual developer of our students.
Parents, thank you for the privilege of serving the Lord in this role. I cherish these days!

summer 2010

Powerplant Atlanta 2010! I am so excited for our students who went on this mission trip. Besides tge great time we shared together, we experienced some great things on the streets. Our task was to work through the streets of East Point informing residents of a newly started church. In the process, we met people who were from different faiths, economic status, and ethnic backgrounds. At times, people were open to us and were excited that we were there. Other times, we were ignored, rejected, or refused. Since our trip, I have heard from church planter and has reported that our efforts have made a difference and that many contacts that we made are now starting to show interest in coming to church! I am so proud of our students for their hard work, great attitude, and most of all allowing God to use them in difficult situations. The things we have learned from this trip will make a difference in us for years to come!
