57 campers arrived at camp today for the Junior High camp. This week Randy Gay is the speaker. This is Randy's second year at Kokrine Hills and the campers (and staff) absolutely love him. He is a gifted speaker and he connects with the campers in a way that not many can-- a big thank you to Rebecca, Joshua, Bethany, Andrew, and Rachel for allowing their husband/dad to leave for a week and share the Love of Christ with the campers here.
Randy is teaching using a workbook that he and Rebecca developed, it is called "Our Story For His Glory." The central theme is that "God has been a part of the camper's story, how He wants to be a part of their story right now, and how He longs to have them be a part of His story for all eternity."
Tonight Randy shared the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Daniel 3), and explained how their story showed God's faithfulness and love for those who obey Him.
My favorite pictures are those of the campers with their Bibles open. Roger opens each camp by asking the campers, "What kind of camp is this?"
All the campers respond with a loud, "Bible camp!"
All the campers respond with a loud, "Bible camp!"
I love to hear the campers respond to that question because without God's word we would all be lost. Pray that the campers will continue to read their Bibles even after they go home.
