A Busy Month

God is so good!

Jenn and I just got done with two super weeks of bible camp.  Probably the coolest thing was seeing God’s Word do the real working in hearts.  There was a kid (Luis) in my cabin who almost opted for a weekend party instead of camp.  Praise God he didn’t; as the week unfolded and God’s Word was preached one could tell by his joy and sharing that something had occurred within him. He just didn’t know how to articulate it.  Thursday night after the campfire, he admitted praying and asking for his heart to be “opened up to God.”  So, I grabbed him Friday evening and led him to Christ.  Have you experienced the excitement of leading someone to Christ?  He was still nervous about returning to his city and falling back to old habits.  So, the best thing I could do was share God’s word to encourage him.  I emphasized that the Christian’s Victory doesn’t depend on not falling but on getting back up!  He left our conversation relief on his face.

During the two weeks of camp we had around 400 campers and 150 of them manifested receiving Christ.

Camp is over but we still have busy plans: VBS for next week and our Bible Club launch date is March 21st.

The only worry that has come up is my heart.  I don’t want to get so busy with ministry that I forget the God of the ministry.  You could pray in this manner tonight for Jenn and me (along with a bigger place for us).

P.S. Check out the camp pictures
