Love from Africa!

Hey there you lovely Komos!

I hope everyone is having an AWESOME summer so far! I just thought I'd say hello form KENYA, where I'm living this whole summer!

That's right, I'm living in Africa this summer. I am learning so much about God and about how much He loves everyone in the WHOLE WORLD! It's so crazy how great God is! The only sad part is that I won't get to see any of your shining faces this summer at K7. I will REALLY miss you all!
But I'd love to know.. who is going back to kamp this summer?!

I want to share a quick devo with you all today about something that God is teaching me this summer. It's all about FAITH!

Romans 10:17 says,  "Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ."

FAITH coms from HEARING. What does that mean? Well, it means that when we HEAR the message (when we READ the bible), we increase our FAITH!

How does that happen, you ask? Well, think about it this way: if you are reading God's word each day, you will begin to better understand who God is. You'll learn so much about Him! Then, when you face a problem in your life, you won't feel hopeless. Instead, you'll remember what the BIBLE says about God! You'll remember that God is good, He is faithful, He will provide for your needs, and He will protect you. Then, you won't feel sad- you'll believe in your heart that God loves you and will take care of you in your situation! Just by hearing God's word (the Bible), you'll have MORE FAITH!

Isn't that awesome?! So, I challenge you girls to increase your faith starting today! Get out those Bibles and read a passage, looking for facts about who God is. Then next time you face a hard situation, you'll have BIGGER FAITH to get through it!

Love,

Abbi
