Seeing God Move in the Heart of a 4th Session Camper

From the beginning of the week, Sahil was either crying, being a punk, or an awesome camper. He was such a mysterious 8 year old. When it was time for evening cabin devotions, he always asked a lot of questions. On the last night of camp, after summit fires, Bradyn & Mike took their boys back to the cabin. The fun continued with a cabin-wide pillow fight. Then, in order to calm the campers back down, they all went outside and layed on the open field and looked up at the stars for awhile. Such a precious sight to think of a cabin of little boys gazing at the African stars. Bradyn gave the Jr camp devotion on Saturday morning, and he wrapped up the week by reviewing all of the week's morning devotion stories. Then, he had Jason lay down as a 'bridge' between two tables and the kids walked across. Jason symbolized Jesus as the bridge between us (mankind) and God. After devotion, Sahil asked Bradyn if Christians are reincarnated? He also asked about other religions.  Then, Sahil said that all the Hindu gods don't really make sense. He said, 'my gods don't really make sense, I want to believe in your God and Jesus." Bradyn had lost his Bible earlier in the summer, bought a new Bible, and then found his old Bible. So, during his conversation with Sahil on Saturday morning, Bradyn gave Sahil his Bible. A little while later, Sahil came back to Bradyn and handed him a little pamphlet. Sahil said this is my Hindu book and I don't need it anymore so I want you to have it. WOW. Praise God!  Let's continue to pray for this little boy and that the Lord would use this little boy and his faith and boldness to impact his whole family!

A lot of the other counselors had similar stories of campers really connecting with the truth of God and the Bible. One of the high school boy campers (who comes from a Hindu background) told Jonathan that as he looks back on his life, he can now see how God was rescuing him in a specific difficult situation.  There were a lot of seeds planted and a lot of questions answered for these campers this past week!


Its the last week of camp so its a little hectic, but they did manage to send a few pictures from the Elgon (middle school boys) rock climbing trip.  Enjoy!
