A Super Teen Camp



The teen camp was a super success with lots of high paced activity where all campers having had great fun. The landing field came in real handy for whole group activities (though a bit dusty). The weather was great for camping and the counselors all did a superb job connecting in a fun way with those in their cabins. The campers had no idle moments.
Along with the fun and games the campers received clear and detailed teaching from the bible, which also included instruction on what and how to apply bible concepts to one’s everyday life. Getting each camper acquainted with their own personal bible was a high priority and a result was they asked great and practical (sometimes tough) questions. The teaching was very interacting and the worship music very biblical. It was very refreshing.
The food was always plentiful and from the manner I seen the campers gobble the meals up it must have been real good. The new cooking equipment worked great and the cooking staff produced not only great food but also a great environment for serving teens. What a great team they were!
Fifteen campers of the fifty one made a profession of faith. Pray that these fifteen would be the ones that are truly the good soil that the seed (word of God) was sown on. The ones who heard the Word and understands it, show repentance to sinful activity, who will bear fruit and brings forth, some a hundred fold, some sixty and some thirty (Mark 4). May they all be a shining light in their homes and communities and a faithful witness for Jesus.
When it was time to go back to their villages many did not want to go home and. even for us all, we really did want it to end. Yes, most everyone agreed that this was a super camp.
