Sports Camp 2010 - Wednesday - Decision Day
Wednesday is a special day at sports camp. We've been teaching the kids the truths of the Bible, who Jesus is and how He matters to us. Today's theme is, "I need Jesus Christ to be my Savior". In devotions we studied Acts 16:23-31. Paul and Silas were jailed simply for telling people about Jesus. Then an earthquake broke open the doors of the jail. The jailer was so moved when he found out these two Christian prisoners did not try to escape he immediately shouted out, "Men, what must I do to be saved?". Paul and Silas said to him, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.
At the end of this video, you will see kids signing cards. These are decision cards that the kids are filling out letting us know where they stand with a relationship with Christ. Parents, we encourage you to ask your kids what they've learned about a relationship with Jesus Christ and help them investigate that further so they can learn more about the marvelous life found in Christ.

Focus Sports Camp 2010 - Thank You Volunteers!
Focus Sports Camp is the result of volunteers and staff working together over an entire year! During sports camp, over 165 people invest a week of their summer to serve kids. They do it out of a heart to serve that God has placed in their lives. They invest this time in kids because they believe that each child matters to God and these wonderful volunteers want to be a small part of being a positive influence in these kid's lives.
We thank you volunteers so much for what you mean to these kids lives. You have all done well as you've served Jesus Christ, each other and of course these hundreds of incredible kids! One more day to go.

Today's devotional started with a fun game with two teams and protective sports gear - one team was the protector of an individual and the other was the attacking team trying to "take that person out of the game. Ask your kids about it.
We studied a passage from the Bible found in the New Testament: Ephesians 6:10-13. It talks about putting on the protective armor of God. We had some great discussions on what that actually means in our lives. We ended with this prayer: "Thank You God for being our Protection and for providing us with Your protective armor. Please help us remember to choose to put on His armor."

Focus Sports Camp 2010 - Day 1 (AM Session)
We had a fantastic first morning of sports camp. The kids, parents, coaches, blue shirt people and excellent weather all pulled together to make it an outstanding day! The schedule mixes together skills and drills, snack time, devotion time and of course with warm weather, plenty of water breaks!
Here's a glimpse of today's morning session:
Sports are a great way to promote teamwork, develop positive attitude and self-esteem. At Focus Sports Camp, we also spend time learning the life skills that God teaches us through His Word, the Bible.
Today's devotion time was centered around Psalm 18:2 "the Lord is my Rock, my Protector and my Savior".
We also studied Matthew 7:24-27 which includes Jesus saying "Everyone who hears these things I say and obeys them is like a wise man. The wise man built his house on the rock, but the person who hears the things I teach and does not obey them is like a foolish man. The foolish man builds his house on sand."

The wise man built his house on the rock, but the person who hears the things I teach and does not obey them is like a foolish man. The foolish man builds his house on sand."
The coaches and kids talked about these Bible verses and how they apply to our lives. We ended with this prayer "Thank you God for being the strong Rock that we can build our life upon!"
We can't wait for Focus Sports Camp day two! Come back tomorrow to check out the day two video!
