Q&A

A &Q BIBLE HOW HAVE THEY INFLUENCED OUR 2022 SUMMER CAMPERS? ENGAGEMENT AT CAMP THE BIBLE AND SMALL GROUP STUDY TIMES ARE CENTRAL PARTS OF SUNZ CAMPS. "

I LEARNT A LOT MORE ABOUT GOD… AND THE STUDIES MADE ME THINK MORE ABOUT THE BIBLE, GOD AND MY FAITH, AND HOW I WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE AS A CHRISTIAN." I WANT TO SPEND MORE TIME FOR GOD. HAVING 'ALL DAY LUNCH' WAS SOMETHING THAT STOOD OUT TO ME, AS I OFTEN JUST BOOKEND MY DAY WITH GOD, WHEN I SHOULD BE ALERTED TO HOW HE IS WORKING THROUGHOUT THE DAY."

TWO THINGS ESPECIALLY HAVE STUCK WITH ME—HOW OFTEN WE HAVE WRONG ASSUMPTIONS, AND THAT THIS CAN STOP US FROM SEEING CLEARLY, AND THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US GIFTS THAT WE SHOULD USE FOR GOOD, AND THEN HE'LL TRUST US WITH MORE. I HOPE I'LL BE ABLE TO CHALLENGE MY ASSUMPTIONS AND USE MY GIFTS TO SERVE OTHERS MORE." I LEARNT AND REALIZED THAT GOD MADE THE EARTH FOR US AND IT SHOWS US HOW MUCH HE LOVES US SO I HAVE LEARNT TO LOVE AND RESPECT NATURE MORE."

THE STUDIES ON CAMP HELPED ME TO BUILD A ROUTINE OF BIBLE READING/ DEVOTION EVERY DAY."

I LEARNT THAT I SHOULDN'T JUST FOCUS ON A SMALL PART OF A STORY I SHOULD LOOK AT THE WHOLE STORY, SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING. THAT MADE ME KIND OF REALISE THAT I ONLY SEE A SMALL PART OF PEOPLE’S LIVES AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT EVERYONE IS GOING THROUGH IN THE BACKGROUND SO I NEED TO TRY PUT MORE EFFORT INTO TREATING EVERYONE WITH LOVE AND RESPECT." I REALLY LIKED THE STUDIES THIS YEAR AT CAMP. I WOULD SAY THAT I DEFINITELY CAME CLOSER TO GOD THROUGH THEM. A FEW OF THE THINGS THAT STOOD OUT TO ME … HOW JESUS BEARS AND KNOWS OUR SHAME, AND HOW JESUS MAY BE WORKING BESIDE US IN PLACES WE MAY NOT BE FOCUSING ON."
