Camp so far this summer (courtesy of a co-worker's blog)

I borrowed this post from a co-workers blog and thought you all might like to hear how camp is going so far...


We are about to reach the end of the middle of summer. Boy has it been a ride...
All summer it is amazing to hear the stories of campers who's lives are being changed. The excitement is evident in the staff as you sit down to a normal Wednesday breakfast and the Frontier Director is still blown away by the 4 new decisions made the night before, making 7 for the week. Everyday I check facebook and quite often a staff memeber has made a comment on a deep conversation they have had with their campers that lead to the camper making a first time decision to follow Christ. It is amazing what God is doing! Every Saturday we send campers home to very different lifestyles. Some come from amazing Christian homes, and others go home to a parent, or parents that don't really care. It is hard to see them go, but we know that the work that God has begun here will not stop, and we are praying for these campers even after they are gone. I know that many of our counselors are also keeping in touch with campers long after they are gone and pouring into them more with each letter or each facebook chat.
So far we have had 3 great speakers. We had the opportunity to have Don Stubbs and Travis Troyer up here for the first 2 weeks. They run a discipleship ministry and they were able to challenge campers in their walk with Christ.
Joel Ruisch (our camp director) spoke week three and he was able to really hit home our Theme and theme Verse. Our theme for the summer is Identify and it is based off the verses Isaiah 41:9-10.
This week we have Joel Kiekenvield and he has had a chance to help campers learn about who they are in Christ and to make sure they Know that God likes them and Loves them. Really challenging. ~ by Aaron and Chelsea Meewusen
