Another Day At Camp



4 Kids

It is another day at camp! Darlene and I have been speaking at boys and girls camp a few weeks each summer for 30 years. Today is day 3 of our third of four weeks of camp this summer. Each day is full of fun activities like tubing down the creek, playing in the inflatables, or shooting BB guns or bow and arrows.

Our part comes each morning and evening as we gather with the campers and staff members for service. In the services we use costumed characters, puppets, object lessons, and stories to help the campers grow closer to Jesus. We have fun communicating God's Word to the kids and then responding in prayer to the message of the day.

These last two weeks of camp we are sharing the stage with our son Aaron and his wife Jenny. They are talented children's ministers and we are having a blast! Their children, our grandchildren, Caleb and Ellie are helping too. I have included a couple of pictures of us for you in today's blog.

Remember, you do not have to be at camp to draw closer to God. He promises to draw near to you when you reach out to Him. The Bible says, "Those who seek God early will find Him." Spend some time seeking (praying), and draw near to God today.
