Day 3 is coming to an end. And I am already exhausted for some reason.
Today, we focused on, "Release for the Captives." Our work crews read over Acts 8:23 through out the day, and tonight during our nightly program. At the program, we had an opportunity to release ourselves from what is keeping us captive. They had all of the students and chaperones at the camp tie our hands together with Zip Ties. Once we did, there were stations set up around the gymnasium for us to pray at. There were stations such as Relationships, Technology, Drugs/Alcohol, Sports, Money, Food, and Self Image. The students were asked to go around to the stations they felt were holding them captive (while their hands were still tied together) and pray for release from their captives.
Once this was finished, we went into our youth group devotional time. Denny and Zach led us in some worship, and then we discussed our days and the program we had previously.
It seems as if most of the Schweitzer youth are exhausted already. Luckily, tomorrow is our "half day" of work, and the second half of tomorrow we will be heading to Beale Street in Memphis, TN for some dinner.
Please be in prayer for the students and the things in their lives that are holding them captive this week. Please pray for their release while they are here in Somerville, as well as when they arrive back in Springfield to their every day life.
Nighty poo, don't poo in your nighty.
