Life Transformation at Camp
I wrote about this experience in the 2017 Annual Letter to our churches, because not everyone will read that letter here it is again. It's why we are here and it's what we get to be a part of as God shows up in amazing ways at camp...
Lake Beauty is all about life transformation. One of the most amazing opportunities I had this Summer was week one with Junior High 1 camp. It was Tuesday night which is "U-Turn" night. This year as students left the chapel they were encouraged to write things on a piece of paper that they wanted to leave at the cross. As they exited the chapel a Summer Staffer would take their piece of paper and nail it to the cross. They were told that if once they had nailed their "junk" to the cross they could come back to the chapel and do business with God or head back to their cabin and get ready for bed. That first U-Turn night, 2 boys went back into the chapel to finish their business with God. Once they were finished they walked out of the chapel and as they looked at the cross, all the 100's of pieces of paper were gone. As those two boys walked towards the cross, they both went to their knees and began to pray together.
