DAY 5...

The sweetest and greatest blessings come when we let the Lord do His work as we pray and do His will. He has certainly done great things. This last day was certainly our greatest. We set out to bring unity to our group, and unity God has granted (Romans 15:5). Excellent day of devotions, small groups, interactions at the dinner table, go carts and mini golf, but most of all, an unbelievable time around the campfire sharing about the new lessons and challenges they have been convicted of, new friends they have made, blessing they've had in the week. Pretty much our entire group shared. It was an incredibly encouraging night and the energy was awesome. Grace shared that it was really neat being in an environment where you felt put of place if you weren't intentionally reaching out to new people. That was the norm here and everybody did just that. It was natural.

It was cool to see that some of the biggest encouragements to the students weren't just what the leaders were teaching, but what they were learning, and hearing, and seeing from the others around them pushing them for growth. God is sooo good!!!!

Day 4....

Another gorgeous day and another wonderful blessing. Today, many of the students really got into the Word for their personal devotions. Pretty much all of them grouped up to study 1 Thessalonians. Later that day, we climbed up to the Alum Cave Bluffs on Mt. LeConte. Was quite an accomplishment. We all made it. 4.6 miles round trip. Really good bonding opportunities as the students hiked together. Great conversations had.

Later that night, we had our small groups, share time, and worship. More and more students are continue to join in on the time of sharing! Our small groups focused on the first church and in how they all had "favor with one another." Grwat reminder.

Late evening, we had a mad house of excitement. Everyone playing games, and going crazy together. It truly was a night of bonding. Lots of fun and encouraging to see more new friendships form.

Bonus: We saw a black bear on our hiking trail.

DAY 3...

Finally settling in and off to the races! What an awesome day it was. Morning quiet time was amazing. Kids that have never actually done devotions were getting into groups with other students (student invited) and spending time with God. Some of those students even shared how cool it was and couldnt wait to do it again.

We had quieter students that never really speak up share things they are learning! New relationships are forming. Students are being challenged to seek out others instead of just doing what they please. It's very exciting.

Activity wise, we did a team Gatlinburg scavenger hunt with four groups. It was very team building and encouraging. We grouped them with people they normally wouldn't hang with, and it seemed to go pretty well. They had to work together to complete challenges, answer trivia, and find objects.

At the end of the night, we are all exhausted but loving sitting down as a group and singing, sharing, laughing, and reflecting on the Word.

Pray for more students to be leaders in the effort to build unity. Many are catching on and it's AWESOME to see.
