Ephesians 6

The Armor of God

10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Putting peices together...

So we bought the plane tickets and we're getting things together. I am working on collecting more kid's songs to jam with the kids this summer :) If you can flash back and remember any oldy but goody songs that would be fun to sing with the kiddos let me know. The theme we decided on for the summer will center around Ephesians chapter 6 in the Bible. This chapter is about putting on the armor of God. It mentions 6 pieces of armor each of which will be the theme for a week of the six weeks of camp. We will incorporate the verses and theme in the English curriculum, songs, and so on. It is exciting to see things coming together. Some of my friends are helping me collect crafts and game ideas and materials. I am so grateful for their help! Please pray for us as we get things together. Pray for safety and for the hearts of the little ones. I just want to go and serve and love on them. They deserve it! I am so thankful for this opportunity.

Alright...so I'm figuring this thing out here. I posted a blog entry on myspace, but then realized i wanted to get this one going instead for those who don't have a myspace account. I'll use this one from now on. I will recap. Check out www.heartlineministries.org to see where i will be going this summer for 7 weeks. The "English Camp" link will give you some details about what I will be doing. Just a start, more to come...Stay tuned.
