The Messenger COLLEGE HILLS BAPTIST CHURCH Volume 1, Issue 14
July 14, 2011
Live Love! Camp & campers. Be in prayer for our staff and the youth as they leave for HEB Camp, Thursday, July 14-Sunday, July 17. Many young people over the years have come to know Christ during youth camp. Many young believers were strengthened in their faith during the many HEB camps we have hosted over the years. I remember a time when the camp pastor challenged the youth to follow Jesus wholeheartedly. He challenged them to get rid of anything that was hindering their walk
Mark Your Calendar: with Christ. Many of the kids gathered around a campfire by the river that night began to toss into the fire different objects representing those hindrances. Many of those kids are now young adults still following Christ. To some of them, however, it was more of an emotional decision without any spiritual foundation, and since then, these young people have wandered away from the faith. Each one of the youth going to camp this week will have to make a decision whether they will follow Christ wholeheartedly or not.
The role that the camp pastor and staff have is to present the truth to them. Would you pray with me for our young people, that they will take to heart the biblical teaching that they will hear and follow Christ with all their heart and soul? Would you pray for the camp pastor and staff that they will speak God’s Word clearly and model for the young people who Christ is? Would you pray for the salvation of the ones who do not know Christ? Would you pray for these things daily? Lakan
