Boys Camp - Day 3

It happened. God came through in all his glory at Boys Camp 2015. This morning in the staff meeting we heard the wonderful news of three boys who had committed their lives to Christ after hearing the counselor testimonies last night. Two more promised to speak with their leaders today about making the same decision. Amen. He is mighty to save!

Is it because two senior counselors told their stories of: (1) separation from Christ early in life, (2) a crisis situation as an adult, (3) a friend leading them into an eternal relationship with Him? 

Or was it the testimony of the junior counselor? Barely a year older than some campers, he bravely told his story of being raised in a Christian home and saved as a young child. He then rededicated his life after realizing he didn't fully understand salvation at age four. 

We don't know which stories resonated within the hearts of these young men, but we know the Holy Spirit moved through the camp and found the souls ripe for transformation. 

Upper Peninsula Bible Camp is full of legacy, tradition and nostalgia. However, the greatest heritage we have is the long list of kids and adults who have come to know the Lord Jesus Christ on these grounds. The work is not done yet, and we will not rest.

The boys had a fun day today. They ate like kings. They learned new skills. They played some crazy games. They are happy, healthy and well cared for. Parents - no need to worry. The details of the day seem so distant compared to the news of boys exiting off the broad road to destruction and entering the narrow road to salvation.
