When I was a junior in high school, I was a part of the Ohio Youth Choir at the state fair. I spent a week at the fair learning the music and working out how to march. One afternoon, we were practicing in a tent. We heard thunder but we kept practicing. Finally the storm arrived! Thunder and lightening crashed all around us; it was pouring rain. We ran from the tent to our dorm rooms. When we got inside, we were all soaked to the skin. We changed clothes,waited for the storm to stop and we went back to practice. I don't remember a time where I was so wet as that warm July afternoon.
We got drenched at Superkids this year, not in a heavy rain storm, but in God's love. Before camp, we were challenged to boldly love the campers. Staff, you met the challenge, you boldly and unconditionally loved the campers. They experienced a drenching of God's love that got right to their heart. I can't remember a weekend at Superkids quite like the camps this year. It was an amazing experience.
Staff, you are incredible! Thank you for all that you sacrificed to serve at Superkids. I hope a drenching of God's love got to your heart too.
