Several of our donors gave scholarships to help students attend camp. Here is one testimony.
An 18 year old boy did not want to be at camp as he was a hardcore agnostic. He believed God did not care about people at all. The first three days he sat and did not pay attention to the services thinking, "I'll deal with this and get out of here as soon as possible."
On the last night, the camp speaker spoke on Jesus being our healer. Several campers responded to the invitation to be healed.
A girl sitting beside the boy had her eyes healed and he was in awe of the miracle. Later he approached the speaker and said, "she had vision problems and now she doesn't. I cant explain that. I want to know Jesus!"
And another...
One boy dealt with anger throughout the day while playing games and would get upset and storm out of service during the worship part of service. A staff member followed him out on Tuesday night and talked about how he has never felt anything from God. After some encouragement he went back to the service and made his way to the altar. At the end of the service he ran up to the staff member and said "I felt something! Like something real!" He gave his heart to God!
