Looking Back. Going Forward
My CHAT internship ended one week ago. Looking back, I’m amazed at all that GOD did. As I described to a friend yesterday: coming away from the summer is not like coming off a spiritual high, it is a walking forward from a multitude of deep life experiences that I will be processing for...

Words have failed me many times this week. I was asked by two different individuals this past weekend about my experience here at CHAT this summer, and both times I found myself stumbling over my words, struggling to clearly articulate even one whole thought. Several situations at Day Camp this week also left me...

During the first few weeks of planning, Cheyenne (my huddle partner) and I brainstormed and planned the lessons for each week’s Day Camp theme: Wk 1 – We are God’s Family, Wk 2 – God Knows Our Name, Wk 3 – God Knows Our Weakness, Wk 4 – God Knows Our Suffering, etc. It was...

It is crazy to believe this weekend is the halfway point of my CHAT experience this summer. These past five weeks have been filled with many challenging moments, numerous eye-opening moments, and a lot of encouraging moments. I’d like to share just one of each. A challenging moment from this past week was craft time...

This past weekend we took 50+ CHAT students on an overnight camping trip to Lake Kerr, North Carolina. The trip was my first real taste of working with the kids (in particular the girls who will be in my huddle group at Day Camp) for a prolonged period of time. Before leaving for the trip,...

By: Addie Rauschert - Sunday, June 12, 2011
Over the past two weeks, I’ve been amazed and SO encouraged by the spirit of prayer that has been prevalent amidst our daily planning and preparation for the Day Camp [which will start in a little over a week]. During planning we pause before each session to pray together, and prayer gatherings have spontaneously popped...
