Last night at camp, our speaker presented the gospel. Over 60% of the room made some sort of decision regarding their relationship with Christ! That is an awesome number! We are still connecting with those campers and asking more clarifying questions, but it is still really exciting! Especially when we have almost 200 campers this week! I cannot wait to hear the stories from this week of how God worked!
What stood out to me today? The first verse of 1 Timothy states, "This is from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, appointed by the command of God our Savior and Christ Jesus, who gives us hope."
Why did this stand out to me today? I sometimes find it really easy to overlook how God moves in the lives of Super Kids. Questions fill my mind of can God really work and can these kids really understand what is going on. But every time I interview a staff member, they can point out a time in their younger years (3rd-6th grade) where they made a decision to follow Jesus for the first time. These kids are capable and fully able to make lasting decisions. It is our job to be faithful and present the gospel the best way we can.
How will I apply this in my every day life? I will choose to be excited as these kids make decisions. Regardless of age, something the speaker said made them want to change the way they are behaving. They want to be more like Jesus in their day to day lives. This is an awesome event! I will be excited when I hear of first time decisions! I cannot wait to hear the stories from this week!
Tomorrow I will be reading 1 Timothy 3-11! See you then!
In His service, Crazy Pete
