Honoring God is not just a matter of personal belief, but also living to share God's truth with others.
Daniel 2.
>The gospel must be shared
>The gospel calls us to humility
>The gospel is all about God
Tonight Andy shared his story and talked with the students about sharing their story with their friends.
Our free time today was spent at Dollywood. Students grouped up and hit the amusement park and were seen screaming their heads off on some of the wild rides. It was incredibly hot!!
God is working in hearts this week. Please keep praying for our campers and our leaders.

Choosing Holiness, Day 2 Study
We had a request to post our daily themes so our folks back home know what's happening here in the Smokies.
Biblical Passage: Daniel 1; 1 Timothy 4:12,15
>Hard choices can come during difficult circumstances (Daniel 1:1-7)
>Obedience to God means taking risks (Daniel 1:8-14
>God provides what you need to do His will (Daniel 1:15-21)
>People notice when you continue being different (I Timothy 4:12,15)
Theme: Holy living requires a personal decision to honor God.
In the evening we took a look at Romans 12:1-2 and how those verses tied in with our theme.
Day two here we basically hung out at the cabin but did take an excursion to a huge pool with a slide and diving board. Lots of fun and community happening in this big old log cabin.

We are at Camp!!
We departed NHC at 5AM.
We stopped for breakfast and lunch along the way with a couple of fuel and potty stops along the way.
We arrived at the cabin safe and sound at 4:3o.
The kids are having a great time getting settled into the log cabin. We had our first evening worship together. I spoke about preparing for God to work in our lives this week. We took a look-see at Samuel as a child. We were challenged to say to God this week, "I'm here and I'm listening." God can do amazing things in our lives this week.
It is not 10:40pm. Lights are out and the kids are in bed. The team is about to have our staff meeting. Thanks for praying for us this week!

Pray for Camp, Campers, Camp Staff
We are just a few weeks away from heading off to camp. There is a long list of things to do to prepare to go to camp. The most important thing we can do, and you can help, is pray.
Begin to pray now for our hearts to be receptive for what God wants to teach us while we are at camp. Pray for our attitudes and our ability to get along together as 40 of us live together for one week in one big log cabin. Pray for our health and safety. Pray for our travel safety and riding together for 9 hours in vans. Pray for the energy and wisdom of our staff.
Here is a list of our campers and staff so you can begin to pray for us:

New Camp New Blog
For the past 10 years we have attended a fantastic youth camp, Student Life. Student Life is the best as what they do.
This year we thought we would venture out and try something new. We are hosting our own camp for our students.
We will spend several days together in a log cabin in the Smoky Mountains. This cabin is huge (sleeps 40). We are taking a team of adults along to help us pull off Camp Contagious. We have a cook, 3 discussion group leaders, 1 morning Bible study leader, 1 evening Bible study leader, a worship leader and even a high school student who will lead a discussion group. All of us, including students, will pitch in on the cooking and cleaning.
For fun we will be going to Dollywood one day and whitewater rafting another afternoon. The house has a tiny pool in the downstairs but there is a huge pool on the property. We plan on toting with us a tub full of table games and a couple of Wii units. We will also take a hike in the mountains.
This should be exciting week for the students of NHC who attend the first ever Camp Contagious!
Check back soon to see our pre-camp prayer requests. You can begin now to pray for us and our students for our travel as well as God beginning now to work in hearts and lives.
During the week of camp you will be able to e-mail campers and staff from this page as well as watch video and see pictures. We will do our best to post something everyday.
