The last time I posted was just before camp started. Now that we are a few weeks past I thought that I would tell you how it went. We had an amazing time! There were somewhere near sixty kids and enough staff to fill all the positions that we needed. Praise the Lord!!! We had a great camp speaker, a missionary from Uzbeckistan, He spoke with clarity and was amazing at relating to the kids. There was a great story about one of our campers accepting Christ. Check it out:




After sharing at an evening campfire, the speaker went looking for his lost coat but was stopped on the way. "What does it mean to be holy?" a young boy asked as the speaker was walking by. He answered the inquiring child, which led to more questions like, "What does it mean to be pure?"


The conversation continued but the questions were turned towards the young boy. The speaker asked "Do you believe you are a sinner?" the boy replied yes. "Do you know who Jesus is?", he wasn't too sure so they talked more in depth about Jesus. Then all of a sudden the boy made an excuse to leave and started running back to the camp. The speaker called for him to come back not wanting to lose the opportunity to share Christ. The boy stopped, thought about it, and walked back. The two talked a little more and the conversation ended with the boy praying to accept Christ into his heart.

After the boy had prayed, they went to snack time where the boy proceeded to tell the others at his table about how he had accepted Jesus into his heart. He was so excited to share his new faith.

The next day when the boy saw the speaker he said, "I guess the angels had a pretty good party last night didn't they?" The speaker nodded with a smile.


How awesome is that? I love the camping ministry. I have a bit of sorrow to think that I am leaving, but I know that God has something else for me to do.
