Several weeks back I posted a note entitled “Outta My Zone.” I just felt led to be a part of our church”s (The Peoples Church) Middle School and High School summer camp. This week was certainly one that I will not forget for a long time. It was simply amazing! The camp was held at Horns Creek Resort in the hills of eastern Tennessee.
I was placed with two other leaders with a group of six eight grade boys. Man… it was interesting. I learned a lot about these guys and I hope that they learned something from me and my co-leaders.
The week was filled with great fun. Climbing walls, thousand foot zip lines, wave pool, water slide, paint ball, lake swimming, blobbing etc. But most of all some wonderful times of teaching, small group discussions, and energy charged worship!
All who attended will agree, the Lord showed up, BIG TIME! It was amazing to see more that 20 students come to Christ as new believers! I was stunned. We also had the privilege to see over 30 students baptised! It was unbelievable. It was also so rewarding to see one of the students in my small group come to Christ and be baptised by one of my co-leaders. God is soooo good!
As these new believers go forward into their faith life it is my prayer that they will remain focused and intentional in their walks. Now it is up to us to cover them in prayer, guide and influence them as we can, and most of all celebrate them in their decisions to be a child of the King.
Next year I think that I will try leading in the High School group! Waiting in anticipation for next year!
