We just got home last night from our 2nd week of Youth camp in.... Roach, Missouri. I know the name sounds really nice, but don't worry it was beautiful and God's movement up at the Lake of the Ozarks was great. This is our second camp to do for Travis Avenue Ft. Worth. It just seemed like we started right back up where we left off. What a great group of students- it was so great to catch up with so many of our friends again. They just got a new youth minister named Drew and it was awesome getting to know him and his family as well as getting to know the speaker of this week. The speaker's name was John Durham, who is the pastor at First Baptist Irving TX. What a great guy- we were so glad to sit under his teaching and hang out with such a humble and authentic man of God.
Travis Ave students know how to have a great time, but I got to say REC got pretty violent. Ha. Dodge ball was "get slammed in the face ball" of which one guy lost his footing after getting one to the face. The next day students charged this giant ball on the rec field and it got pretty crazy too (check video). Then Thursday there was a GIANT slip-n-slide (probably 100 yards) and they played bowling for people. It really seemed like a good idea at the time, but ask Mitchell's nose if it was a good idea. Ha. We had a blast!
God did some awesome things this week at a camp, though we never fully know what He's doing. The students gave over $700 to Buckner Orphans!! Each night God was moving and on Thursday there wasn't a dry eye as God's Spirit came in power and moved. Students being prayed over by adults, others on their knees in worship, and many confessing sin and turning to God to have life! That is what it's all about. We were so privilege to be a part of it. We pray this just be a beginning for many of these student's faith journey.
We did another live cd and it turned out really great. The track list for this one is similar to the one from last week:
1. Did You Feel
2. Rooftops
3. Nothing To Lose
4. Mighty To Save
5. Victory
Welp....here's the video:
Travis- You guys rock. WE hope to see you soon!

Just wanted to share a fun little story with y'all! After camp I went to college orientation, and on the last night several of the leaders held a worship service and they sang Did You Feel, and it was nice to have been previously heard from y'all. Turns out the lead guitarist had heard of y'all before, hope y'all are having a great summer! -Chris Raley
