Camp Lokahi - Camp days

Over the last few days I had a chance to participate in Camp Lokahi on the Big Island. There were so many activities and things that the kids did.  From hiking, to flying kites, to crafts, to cupcakes, and to super big slides; these kids had the time of their lives.  The icing on the cake tho, is the joy of seeing them in chapel services worshiping: singing songs and dancing, just loving God for the opportunities that they have to be at camp.  For some of these kids, this retreat is a way to get out of their comfort zones and to learn more about God and themselves while being in the company of their peers. 

During the chapel services, Jay brought it home as they learned about their attitudes, how it affected the way they worship and love God, in their home lives and in school.  Each day they learned a concept based on the example of David: Obedience and Committment.  The final chapel night, Jay had prayed over the kids and some of the leaders.  It was so touching to know that God lives inside of each of them, each of us, that God is with us. 
As I reflect on this past week, God is so faithful in all he does. Camp Lokahi has been a long standing camp for many years and will continue to prosper and grow substantially. To all those involved: Victoria, Jay and Jenna, Liz and Ed, the aunties who cooked those wonderful meals each day, the LITs: Thank you so much for being a part of the work God's doing in and thru you! There are huge blessings to come, for our God is Faithful!
