Zenith

The Highest Place
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord…”
Micah 4:2

The word “zenith” is defined as “the highest point reached in the heavens by a celestial body.” For many campers, counselors, and ministers who experience this incredible week of camp, it is one of the “highest points” of our entire year! It is a chance to “go up on the mountain of the Lord” and encounter God in a powerful way.

Throughout the Bible, people who encountered the Lord in a personal way were changed forever. You can not stand in the presence of the Almighty and go away unaffected. If you allow Him, He will touch your heart and your life…and you will never be the same!
