Today was our last day of Kayak Kamp. We were missing two of our paddlers but had a great group of 6 youth and 2 adults. Pastor John began our mourning with devotions from Revelation 22: 1-6 about the river of the water of life that John saw flowing from the throne of God. This is a picture of God's new creation where there is no curse or sin. Jesus gave us a picture of this when he stood in the temple and invited all who were thirsty to come ot him and drink. He said if we do "streams of living water will flow from us." By this he meant the Holy Spirit. Not only can we paddle on rivers but rivers of the water of life can actually flow from us by God's Spirit. WOW
Today was our big paddle on the Delaware River. We traveled to the
Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and traveled north from the gap about 8 miles. Tayshawn's father, Mr. Charles Wilson came with us today to drive the van back down to where we would end up.This s a beautiful area between NJ & PA. Here is a
MAP of the area so you can see where we were. We went from the Poxono Access at mile 26 to the Kittatianny Access at Mile 34.
The current helped carry us along and we averaged 3.9 mph. We had some run rapids at a few places and especially near the end before we paddled under the Rt. 80 Bridge.
We paddled past the
Shawnee Inn, a beautiful golf resort in the Pocono's . We stopped for lunch along the shore and Pastor Paul read some Scriptures Matt. 22:37-40, Luke 10:25-37 and 1 Cor. 6:19-20 about caring for each other and ourselves. There wasn't much trash to pick up on the Delaware where we were but we did what we could. We are thrilled to see how the kids are "seeing" how people destroy God's beautiful creation.
We ended the day swimming at the beach at the Gap and after our drive home gave awards for the youth who set up a recycling center in their homes. We also presented certificates of completion and pictures to all who participated. We are thankful for how God has met us in this week. Below are a few videos of us in action.
