West Virginia 2013

  Once again our prayers were answered by the Lord bringing us 3 new faces for Jesus 
Camp.  We are thankful.  We started our day in the name of Jesus and Pastor gave a review 
of yesterday's lessons about The Fall and Noah's Ark.  After this followed enthusiastic 
songs of praise and crafts that remind us of the great love the Savior has for each of 
us.
      Our Bible story focus was the Story of Deborah from the book of Judges.  After a 
play telling the Bible story the children re-enacted the play several times to enhance 
their learning and understanding.  
     After a wonderful lunch, games and more music, we were treated to some outdoor 
education from Jerry and Karen Davis.  They are members of Christ Our Savior of the 
Valley Lutheran, who we are working with this week. 
 They shared their knowledge about 
garden herbs and various birds found in WV. 
These lessons reminded us that all things 
are marvelous works of The Lord.  
    People wonder why we are here... 
The purpose of each IOWAY trip is to share the 
Gospel of Jesus with everyone we encounter. 
 Mankind fell into sin and that sin 
separated us from God.  God created  the solution. 
 He sent His son Jesus to earth to live the perfect life we never could. 
 Jesus willingly went to the cross to take the punishment of the whole world's sin upon himself. 
He died but rose again to conquer death. He paid the price for our salvation with his own
 precious blood. Through our Baptism God made us His own children...heaven is our true home. 
 This is the best gift of all...go and tell somebody.
