Monday Night- Wednesday Morning -June 29th-July 1st

We had the great privilege to be at Bethel Baptist Church's youth camp on Monday night. We arrived just in time for the service, and sang several songs. Brother David McCracken preached a great message that night about "Strengthening the Inner Man" from Ephesians 3. During our days at the camp, we were able to stay in the cabin with the girl campers, and had a great time getting to know them. It was great to see Amanda Howard, a current Crown College student. We were also able to meet her sister, Brittany, who will be attending Crown next Fall. Another teen from their church will be attending Crown in the Fall too, his name is Nathan.

Tuesday morning we were able to make it to the "Words of Wisdom" session. This was a time for the campers to turn in questions they had about Spiritual matters, and have them answered by Pastor Cooper and Brother McCracken. This was a great time for the campers to have their questions answered, and to hear their feedback on certain matters. After that they went to a group activity. For the morning service, we were able to sing again, and take part in the games and activities. We were also able to sing for the evening service.

Wednesday morning was our last time to be with the campers. After the morning service, we ate lunch with the campers, and had to head out to our next church. This was so hard to do, after being able to spend so much time with the girls. We were also able to spend time with some of the boys. Justin is a twelve year old boy, who greatly desires to be a preacher. He has such a heart for the Lord, and we were able to hear him preach for us before we left. We are praying that he stays on fire for the Lord.

We'd like to say thank you to Pastor Cooper and Bro. Bryan Cooper for allowing us to take part in the activities at the camp. Also thanks to Brother McCracken for the great preaching we heard. Please continue to pray that the Lord will speak to these campers, and the decisions made this week will be lasting ones.
