Camp Zion Week 4

/in /by

Hello Camp Zion Families,

We had a great week 3 at Camp Zion. Leaders and kids alike were tired after staying up late watching fireworks but everyone did a good job staying positive and having fun with each other.

This week we introduced your kids to the first piece of the Armor of God, The Belt of Truth. Belts are an important part of a soldiers outfit. Not only are they fashionable but a belt holds the pieces of a soldiers armor in place so nothing falls apart or falls off in the middle of battle. The truth is like a belt – it also holds everything in place. The Bible, in John 14:6 Jesus tells us that He is THE TRUTH. He also says that the Bible, the word of God, is TRUTH. We need to make sure that we have the truth, both Jesus and the word of God in our lives. When we take the time to learn more about God and Jesus by reading the Bible we are filling ourselves with truth.

Our skit this week was about three young men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego that believed so strongly in the truth of God that they were willing to be thrown into a fiery furnace rather than worship a golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had built. Because Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were willing to die for the truth rather than disobey God, God saved them. When King Nebuchadnezzar’s saw the three men walk out of the furnace unharmed his eyes were opened to the TRUTH that God is real, and the King began to worship God immediately.

 

Here is what’s happening next week at camp.
