Boys Camp - Day 4

Once upon a time in the late 1980s and early 1990s, a girl came up through Junior Varsity, Varsity and summer staff at UPBC. She later married and had a son who is at Boys Camp this week. 

Last night during devotions this boy was sitting on his top bunk. The boy underneath him started talking about wanting to be saved. So the top bunk boy looked down at his buddy and said, "you want me to pray with you right now to accept Jesus into your heart?"

Bam. As if the generations part of the story was not awesome enough, a pre-teen believer reaching out ahead of his own counselor to lead this lost soul to the Lord is overwhelming. There's a proud mother out there. 

What about the boys who the night before promised to talk to their counselors? They did! Two more for eternity. And there are more. The mission of UPBC is being fulfilled. 

Tonight Chief George is preaching on freedom from sin and the whole armor of God. There's a war for these boys being waged at cultural, spiritual and political levels. They need all the tools they can get to survive as godly men in this world. 

Tomorrow we all prepare for the overnight campout. Please be praying for good weather, safety for campers and patience for leaders. We're halfway through the week and there is a lot more to still accomplish.
