Day 5: See the truth

"Though I'm still far from perfection
I stay relevant, I'm still vigilant
I have so much more to say
I have so much more to fight for."
—Jamie Jasta


Wayne Wright from Chicago dropped the bomb on Camp White Eagle during the morning message! He had what we needed to hear: the same things as before.
Wayne spoke to the kids about listening to the Bible's message again, and looking for new insights. Knowing that the majority of our campers have been raised in church and are by now familiar with God's basic teachings, he noted that they are different people today than they were a year ago. He asked them to look at familiar Scriptures with an open mind again, and see what new revelations they can find in their constantly-growing minds.
"That's when you're rising up in your character," Wayne said.
He then asked a direct question: "Why are we so slow to understand God's Word when it says something very specific? Don't settle for the lame 'I don't know.'"
A few courageous campers raised their hands to answer.
"Because we don't like what it says," one boy replied.


Wayne also implored the kids to be brave in their schools, neighborhoods and extracurriculars. We are learning things here at Camp White Eagle that their friends need to know.
"You may be the only positive thing they know," Wayne said. "We must rise to help struggling friends."
If we do not, too many of those friends will fall victim to Satan's plan.
"He wants to destroy you," Wayne said. "He doesn't want you to really see the truth of what he's doing."

Skit night at Camp White Eagle. Haleigh Cates and Rob Chase aren't really sitting on milk crates...

And you really don't want to know what the girls in the front row are freaking out about...

Soak the counselors!

THE OLYMPICS ARE BACK!!
