Battle for the Campfire 2

I have a report from the campfire Thursday night at Camp Icthus. One of my boys trusted Christ! Also, Mr. Sam and I knew we were walking into a spiritual battle for the campfire just as we had experienced last year. Last year we felt demons actually charge the kids around the fire, and we prayed defense. Thursday night the demons did not charge, and we felt the presence of God defending us. I actually felt the darkness leave. Apparently one demon stayed back to scout because Sam and I prayed against it. We heard a honking shrieking sound come at us from the woods, and it startled us! It sounded like nothing either of us had ever heard. Then the shrieks grew fainter as it flew away. We heard flapping wings and branches breaking! Ms. Cindy also heard it, and she was praying protection too. She told us Friday morning that when she and her girls got back to the cabin, one of her girls (Madison) asked her who the man in white was. Sam and I were both wearing white, but she said the man was huge, had a sword and shield, and was standing on top of the boys cabin! I asked Madison Friday morning what she saw, and she said she had seen three such men. One to the left of the cabin, one on top of the cabin, and one on the road to the right of the cabin...right where I had felt the enemy leave! I really can't make this stuff up. It is both exhilarating and terrifying. Sam and I were both waiting for something to charge straight at us out of the woods, but nothing did. It just honked at us. God was with us last night. I wish I could feel that every night. Oh, also, I did not have my stick or shield. I relied on God to do the fighting. For the Kingdom, Stuart

  1. No offense dude but that sounds pretty nuts.

    (And to answer your question about the TV segment from awhile back, which I don't *think* I've responded to yet: Sort of. I mean, there have other TV segments before, but they have always been with a confrontational host, or a confrontational counter-guest, and in these situations the atheist is always typecast as that weird, scary, outsider guy strawman that really constrains the conversation. This was different. This was just a normal hour special letting atheists just talk, and I think it was much better than any number of that other format could ever hope to be.)

  2. No offense taken. Can't make this stuff up, man. It wasn't just me that felt/saw it.

    For the Kingdom,
