FourteenIreland: Day #12

Day #12: Bible Curriculum/Camp Theme

Today, Day #12 of our fourteen day journey, would you join me in praying for our Bible curriculum and camp theme: HOPE?

In addition to great instruction and plenty of golf, campers will hear a series of short messages getting them thinking about the topic of hope.  These messages will spur on further discussion that will take place in coaching groups (small discussion groups--more about this tomorrow).  The following four truths about hope will be shared throughout the week:

  • Monday: Honesty - Everyone can experience more hope in life by being honest about our purpose, our problem, and God's promise.
  • Tuesday: Openness - Everyone can have more hope in their life by accepting their helpless condition and asking how they can know God more.
  • Wednesday: Perspective - Perspective helps us recognize hope when we see it.  If we are willing to understand Jesus as a servant, friend, and King, it will change our perspective and bring us greater hope.
  • Thursday: Experience - Everyone can hope by experiencing faith through a relationship with Jesus, a deeper relationship with others, and an understanding of Heaven.

Each truth has been paired with a particular Bible story to expose campers to the truth of God's Word.  Please pray that these themes would be communicated clearly and that the Biblical truths shared would penetrate the hearts of each camper.
