Just a Few Short Days Away

C-AMPED is coming! Today is Monday, and we leave Thursday. I am giddy with excitement. I know I speak for the entire leadership team of AMPED when I say that we can't wait to have an awesome camp with the students of AMPED. Just so you know who is speaking, this is Chris Kuykendall, a.k.a. Chris the Nintern. I'm one of the leaders here at AMPED. This week I will be keeping everyone back home up to date about what is going on at C-AMPED via this blog that will contain daily videos of what's happening. Check back each morning of C-AMPED to see what happened the day before.

Last week I was given the opportunity to go to MetaMORphosis Sr High camp with MOR(Gateway's Sr. High ministry) down at Mustang Island near Corpus Christi. I already was sure of this, but I was reminded this week that God is really doing something in this generation of students. If you're reading this and you are going with us, be sure and get ready! Come this weekend expecting God to do things in your life. He is a faithful God. If you ask Him, He will be faithful to come through for you. In James 4:8 it says "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you." God can't wait for you to take those steps towards him. He's up there right now watching us eagerly like a parent watches a toddler who's about to stand up and take their first steps. And when we take those steps, He's going to bust out of his Laz-E-Boy recliner and pounce on us! Parents, volunteers, and others who can't be with us at C-Amped, I ask that you join us in prayer over the move of God that will most assuredly happen this weekend.

As I've been praying over C-Amped and Metamorphosis, God has given me some very specific prayer points that I'll share with you and ask that you come into agreement with us on:

*That God would speak life and truth into the hearts of our students
*Fresh understanding of God's DEEP and undying love
*Hope, Destiny, Love, Faith, Honor, Joy, Peace, Humility, PURITY, Desperation and Strength would be imparted to the students
*Chains would be broken. FREEDOM!
*That God would break these kids hearts so they can see the world through His eyes.
*Divinely inspired Friendships would be discovered
*Fresh Desperation and Desire for God and His word
*New anointings and giftings would be imparted over the students
*The Holy Spirit would encounter the Kids in a fresh way
*That the hearts of our students will be impacted in a lasting way
*Removal of distractions
*An end to harmful bondages and habits
*Deep Worship
*Wounds would be healed: Emotional, Physical, Spiritual, Relational.....
*Release of Dreams & Visions

God is going to do powerful things. I've been praying a particular verse over our kids lately. Ezekiel 37 has some amazing imagery that defines our students generation and what God wants to do in them. I'm praying God continues to breath life into dry bones that will revitalize a generation into an army that will fight passionately for Him.


And by the way, Camp isn't totally heavy and all spiritual like.

PRAY FOR FUN!!!!!!!!!!

We want these kids to have blast this week. I am so excited because this place is just going to be fun. I keep telling people how much I've been looking forward to seeing the look on our students faces when we turn the corner and see the camp for the first time. When Keith, Kam, Rich, and I went up to check out Sky Ranch for the first time, we were like 2 year olds on Christmas morning. I can't wait to see their faces! And I personally am looking to have more fun in a five day period than I have had in my last 24 years of existence. I know there will be some life changing fun this week!
