If you check out last week’s blog post, you caught our introduction to October’s series on prayer. As believers, there are different aspects and avenues of prayer depending on our needs, desires and current season of life. Last week, we walked through what it looks like to approach prayer during life’s seasons of waiting. 

Our lives are full of changing seasons. In terms of weather and personal growth, life is a series of highs and lows, mountaintops and valleys. Seasons are especially distinguishable here at Kamp, because summer is BY FAR our most favorite time of the year!

In the Old Testament, God traveled with the Israelites in different forms to protect them. The Israelites knew that their God was fighting for them because they could physically see God going before them and behind them. 

How comforting is it to know that we have a heavenly Father who loves us no matter what? 

During our lives as believers, we are constantly learning new things about our Father. The journey to fully know Him is never over, because his power and love for us is so immense! As we answer our call to worship, it’s important to know our God and why He is worthy of all our praise. 

If you’ve spent summer at any camp, you’ve likely experienced a “Camp High” or a “mountaintop experience.” Whether you attend for one, two or four weeks, Kanakuk is always stocked full of moments that remind us of our Creator and our purpose. These are the moments that make us feel closer to Him than ever before.

Today, we wave farewell to another amazing summer at Kamp! How is it already time to say “see ya later?!”

Have you ever had plans that have fallen apart? Have you ever had an idea in your head that didn’t turn out at all like you pictured?

Bethany Hamilton’s incredible story is one of tragic loss with an even greater come-back. Although she lost her arm in 2003 to a shark attack, Bethany didn’t give up on her dreams, and she’s continued to pursue professional surfing ever since. Although she faced terrible tragedy, she jumped back into the water—fearless.

We’ve all felt the pressure to maintain our reputation. Maybe it’s the reputation of making straight A’s. Maybe it’s to be the best on your sport’s team or to make everyone laugh in class. As our lives progress and we interact with others, we build reputations around ourselves, and these reputations create expectations for who we have been and who we are going to be.
