Camp-tastic!

Loco!  That's what our summer was:  Crazy!  We had some tough times this summer with the sudden deaths of two important family members, but were amazed with how the Lord can work through tough situations to bring good to people!  However, both of these deaths have brought people to their knees, realizing that our days are counted, and that we must choose now to live for the Lord.

We also completed our summer camping season, seeing the Lord work in magnificent ways!  Of the 232 kids that went to Pico Escondido for summer camp this summer, 218 dedicated or recommitted their lives to the Lord!   Let us share one example of how the Lord was faithful, and worked in the life of a young teenage girl at Vida Joven camp this summer.

Meet Gloria:

"I was so excited to go to camp this summer that I had packed my bags months ahead of time.  On top of that, my experience at camp was much better than I even could have even expected.  I was overwhelmed when I saw the camp, the people, and even more so when they spoke about Jesus Christ.  My life didn’t make sense prior to going to camp but now I feel as though I have direction.  My mom is happy that I went to camp; as I left the “bad” Gloria at camp, as I am now a new person.  Camp has been the best thing that has happened to me in my life.  Jesus lives in me and now I have peace and direction in my life!"

Please pray with us for our upcoming camps this month. We are hoping to bring everyone that made decisions at summer camp back to give them an opportunity to deepen their faith and get answers to some of the questions they have been asking as new believers.  Please pray with us that the Lord will continue to mold the hearts of these new believers as they make steps towards deepening their relationship with Jesus!
