God Uses Difficult Conversations to Grow Campers

07/06/2011

Every morning we have a counselor meeting at 7:30, and we have been reading Genesis 20-40.   It’s also a time to share if we have had any theological discussions with our cabins.  Whitney, one of the counselors, shared that one of her girls has accepted Christ into her life as her Savior!  Praise God!

After morning chapel is devotional time and I got a huge opportunity to talk to my girls about Jesus. Three of them had already accepted Christ as their Savior earlier in their lives but, back home it’s rough for all of them. One of my kids is being raised as a Catholic and tells me stories about how her parents drink a lot and tells me stories that made me quiver.  Another girl was adopted and lives in a huge family now which is great, and they’re raising her in a Christian family.

Two girls in my cabin are cousins.  One told me she lives with her cousin because her family tried selling her off as a slave.  I had to step out for a moment to compose myself.  I can’t even begin to imagine what she was/is going through.  She has not accepted Christ yet so she is one of the girls I’m hard-core praying for.
