Chels For China

Sally, Rachel, and I had dinner with Greg Lyons last night and he shared his vision to see 1 million kids in camp every year. Here at the Highlands this year they have had almost 80,000. His goal is 50,000 kids in 20 countries experiencing youth camp and hearing the gospel. We had over 400 kids saved last night, almost 20,000 this summer, the numbers seem unreal but when you are here and you can see how God is moving and the genuine decisions these kids are making it is awesome. Pray for us and the campers as we have our last two batches today and tomorrow and then this weekend will begin our NextStep Camp which brings back some of the campers who were saved and/or expressed an interest in Bible College.

Over the last couple of days I have had the opportunity to pray with some of the different groups around camp, the dancers, the production crew, and the praise team. Their passion for their ministries and their desire to see young people saved is amazing. The commitment and sacrifice it takes to work at the camp that started the third week of january and ends this week is enormous. I am in awe of them, I am praying for God to give me their vision, their passion, I want to burn with the same desire to see souls saved that I see in the workers here. I am so thankful for the opportunity that I have had to be here and to hear the testimonies of some of these workers and to get to know these people. They have made a lasting impact on my life.
