Christian Camp

Our young people just returned from a great week of camp at The Wilds in North Carolina. Praise the Lord for the decisions that were made. One young man in our group accepted Christ as his Savior. Camp is a unique environment where peer pressure is minimized, outside influences from the world are eliminated, and God's word is elevated. Our teens have benefited from the week every time we go. This year, we had the opportunity to hear Pastor Jim Schettler who pastored the Campus Church at PCC for many years. I am glad that my own children got a chance to hear the man that had such a great influence in my life while I was in college. His messages were full of energy and connected with the young people. Pray for our teens that they will continue in the decisions that they made. Praise the Lord for those who gave so that our youth could go to camp. Camp is an investment in the future of our church. As it relates to The Wilds, I wish that I could take every adult in the church. Perhaps we can get new sponsors to go every year. Perhaps we can talk folks into going to different conferences throughout the year. One thing is for sure, The Wilds is a special place.
