"Follow Me"


The last two weeks I have been planning our Foundation45 summer camp. This is our age group that is just out of Children's Ministries and not quite old enough for youth group. Some call them "tweens," I call them 45ers.
Foundation in Christ for 4th and 5th graders.

The theme for our camp is, "Follow Me," based out of Matthew 4 where Jesus calls these fisherman to follow him. My goal, and what I feel the Lords goal, is to help these kids from a place of knowing about God to having a close relationship with him.

Here are some scriptures that I am planning on tying all this together:

Matthew 4:19-22

Psalm 78:52-53

John 10:2-4

Joshua 1:5-6

As I put together this series (4 teachings) I am finding that as I choose to "follow" the Lord more and more each day that my life is different. When I don't allow him to go ahead of me (pride/fear) I end up wasting time and energy. I pray that these 45ers will come away with a deeper relationship with Jesus and that they will be able to place him first in everything they do.
