Week 4- Trackers

Week 4- Jr. Highers.

This has been the best week of the summer (for me at least). The campers were super fun and enjoyed many of the games and activities we did. We had the privilege of having Joe Basso (pastor of Felch Mountain Bible Chapel in Felch, MI) come and speak. The campers really connected with him.  He clearly preached through the attributes of God and I was so encouraged by the response of the campers.

More than one camper told me that they had a better picture of who God was as a result. One camper said "I have been coming to Lake Ellen for 7 years and I always believed in God, but now I understand that God wants us to do more than just believe in Him. He wants us to give our lives to Him."

I was encouraged by these and many other comments by campers and staff throughout the week.

We also had the privilege of having Good News Baptist's youth group worship team lead singing during chapel times. It was fun to enhance old friendships and make new ones.

The campers really enjoyed the team competitions and Scruffy, a now-infamous prize for winning cabin clean-up. We're not really sure if it's more for the campers or the counselors, but when one counselor had a breakdown after losing, we're pretty sure he's more for the counselors...

To my knowledge at least 3 campers accepted Christ this week for the first time (yea!!!), but I know that MANY lives were changed. We rejoice in it all. After all, we are here to make disciples. I believe that God is accomplishing that through us. Praise the Lord!
