Camp Updates

This years summer camp was amazingly powerful. Aside from having the most fun I've had in months God was moving in the students of PULSE. Because so much goes on in a week at camp it is impossible to share with you all that took place. So below are simply a few highlights of what I saw taking place during our week at Lake View.

We had a couple students who have been addicted cigarettes go the whole week of camp without smoking and even feeling like they needed to. As they week went on they got stronger and stronger and by the end of camp they committed to no longer smoking and quit cold turkey.

We also had two people put their faith in Jesus Christ this week. They had been struggling with God and Christianity, they weren't sure if it was real or if it was simple a crutch for others to lean on. Throughout the week they encountered God is a way that they have never done before and are convinced that Jesus is real because they personally "experienced God's love."

Those are just two big highlights that stuck out from our week up at camp. I also saw our students open up with each other, sharing their stories, struggles and victories with each other and encouraging each other to move closer to God. This past week at camp was an answer to the many many prayers of the high school staff. It was a blessing for everyone.
