  I have to be honest, I was a tad bit apprehensive about going to camp for two weeks. I have never been to camp, and had no idea what to expect.
My experience during the last two weeks of camp exceeded any expectations that I did have. week one: This year out at camp Lu-Jo, a ropes course had been built to help promote group building, and the course was amazing. The high schoolers by the third day that week had become a very close knit group, and they were encouraging to watch cheer one another on.
One young man stands out to me, as one of the highlights of my week. About midnight on Wednesday, three boys came over to my bunk to talk about Christ, and ask questions, by 1:30 am one of the boys having not yet been baptized was on the phone and tearfully, and joyfully sharing the goodnews to his dad about his decision and desire to put on Christ. I was blown away that God would allow me the opportunity to share the message of the Gospel even with one hungry young man. The week got better. One of my teen girls, no doubt stirred by the happenings of the week, was spiritually stirred to consider her life, and how to become right with God. Many prayers were answered as this teen girl who just a week before was borderline agnostic, accepted Jesus as her Savior and also put Christ on in baptism. Prayer changes things! week two: I was exhausted from week one, and after our first staff meeting, I was asking myself "what am I doing here?
" But, I turned the reins over to Christ, and made myself His servant, and I was blown away at the opportunities God had given me to share Christ with teens. As I began to encounter the campers on Sunday, and into Monday, I wasn't sure if I would be able to really get close to any of them, but just being there, and having fun with them allowed them to accept me into thier world, and five boys and another girl from my youth group were stirred to study the Scriptures, and I got to share Christ, and His love for them with them. All six of them responded to the life changing message of the Gospel, and I was blessed once again as I was asked to baptize all six them.
I am still in awe at the opportunites God presented to me these last two weeks. For the very thing I wanted to do as a brand new Christian, God is allowing me to do, and that is sharing Jesus Christ and Him crucified to teenagers. There is no other job I would want to have than to work with kids. I have learned that being there, a positive attitude, a sense of humor, and prayer really do make a difference. "Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for allowing me to be here in Oklahoma, and for the oppurunites that you presented me these last two weeks. I don't understand how or why you allow someone like me to do things I get to do, but I thank you nonetheless.
