Camp...where life changes forever

As I looked across the sanctuary filled with kids, I felt the Holy Spirit convict me so hard that it felt almost physical.  I was a sinner.  It hit me for the first time in a real way that was difficult to explain.  I was a sinner.  If nothing changed in my life, I would spend eternity in Hell,   away from family and friends but most importantly away from my Creator.  I was a sinner.

Life as a 13 year old is confusing but for the first time in my life I had divine clarity.  I rose from the pew and nervously began to walk down to the altar.  With each step I heard an excuse. "What will your friends think?  You think you can just be forgiven for all you've done?  Why not wait until later?"   I grew more convicted as I moved closer to the front.  

I kneeled. I wept.  I gave my life completely and wholly to God and asked Jesus to forgive me of my sins.  The weight of sin was lifted off of me, and I passed from eternal damnation to eternal salvation.  God now had me in His hands and His words assured me that nothing could remove me from Him.

21 years ago God saved me at camp.  What will he do for your child at camp this year?

How to communicate in the hustle and bustle of today's world

Why not throw it online so anyone and everyone can get it with ease?  We'll give it a shot.  My passion is to bring lost children to Christ and through those children, bring their parents, their friends and their city too.  We've got a lot of work to do, but God has good things planned for those who love Him.
